PMP Certification Training - Sequence Activities

The video tutorial covers the process of sequencing activities in project management, highlighting the importance of identifying and documenting relationships among project activities. It discusses the inputs, tools, and techniques used in sequencing, such as the precedence diagramming method. The tutorial also explains different types of dependencies, including mandatory, discretionary, external, and internal, and the role of leads and lags in scheduling. Finally, it outlines the outputs of the sequence activities process, including project schedule network diagrams and document updates.

What is the primary purpose of sequence activities in project management?

• To define the project scope

• To estimate the cost of project activities

• To identify and document relationships among project activities

• To allocate resources to project tasks

Which of the following is NOT an input to the sequence activities process?

• Schedule management plan

• Activity list

• Project budget

• Milestone list

What is the precedence diagramming method used for?

• Estimating project costs

• Constructing a schedule model

• Allocating resources

• Defining project scope

Which type of relationship is the most common in precedence diagramming?

• Start to finish

• Finish to start

• Start to start

• Finish to finish

What type of dependency is based on best practices or resource availability?

• Mandatory dependency

• Internal dependency

• Discretionary dependency

• External dependency

Which dependency type is influenced by factors outside the project?

• Internal dependency

• External dependency

• Discretionary dependency

• Mandatory dependency

What is a lead in project scheduling?

• A mandatory dependency

• A type of project constraint

• A delay between two activities

• An advancement of a successor activity

How is a lead typically represented in scheduling software?

• As a resource allocation

• As a separate task

• As a negative value for lag

• As a positive value for lag

What is a network diagram used for in project management?

• To estimate project costs

• To display the relationships of all activities

• To allocate resources

• To define project scope

Which of the following is an output of the sequence activities process?

• Project budget
