PMP Certification Training - Develop Schedule

The video tutorial covers the process of developing a project schedule, including inputs, tools, and techniques. It explains schedule network analysis, resource optimization, and handling uncertainty through scenario analysis and simulation. The tutorial also discusses schedule compression techniques like crashing and fast tracking, Agile release planning, and the outputs of schedule development. Key concepts such as the critical path and float are explained with examples.

What is the primary purpose of developing a project schedule?

• To create a model for project execution and monitoring

• To allocate resources efficiently

• To identify project risks

• To determine project costs

Which document is NOT typically used as an input for schedule development?

• Risk register

• Milestone list

• Project charter

• Resource calendar

What is the critical path method used for in project scheduling?

• To allocate resources

• To determine the shortest project duration

• To identify project risks

• To manage project costs

What is resource leveling primarily used for?

• To increase project scope

• To shorten project duration

• To reduce project costs

• To adjust activity dates to resolve resource over-allocation

Which technique involves evaluating different scenarios to predict their impact on project objectives?

• Resource smoothing

• What-if scenario analysis

• Critical path method

• Fast tracking

What is the main goal of schedule compression techniques?

• To reduce project scope

• To improve resource allocation

• To increase project budget

• To shorten the project duration without reducing scope

Which of the following is a characteristic of Agile release planning?

• It is used only for hardware projects

• It eliminates the need for a project schedule

• It focuses on long-term project goals

• It provides a high-level summary timeline for releases

What is a schedule baseline?

• A list of project risks

• A document outlining project costs

• A tool for resource allocation

• An approved version of the schedule model used for comparison

In project scheduling, what does total float represent?

• The total project duration

• The amount of time an activity can be delayed without affecting the project finish date

• The total cost of the project

• The number of resources required for a project

Which path in a network diagram is considered the critical path?

• The path with the least cost

• The path with the longest duration

• The path with the most resources

• The path with the most activities
