11.

To control the schedule, a project manager is reanalyzing the project to predict project duration. She does this by analyzing the sequence of activities with the LEAST amount of scheduling flexibility. What technique is she using?

b)

Critical path method

c)

Flowchart

d)

12.

A project manager is in Sequence Activities process of identifying and documenting relationships among defined activities and arranging them in the order they must be performed. While in this processes., the project manager decided to utilize a software tool to create a Precedence Diagramming Method (PMD) network diagram. This network diagram creates a schematic display of the sequential and logical relationships, dependencies, and the order in which activities in a project must be performed. You also added the duration of each activity in the network diagram to calculate the critical path. Which one of the following is False about the critical path?

a)

It determines the shortest time to complete the project.

b)

It is the longest duration path through a network diagram.

c)

The activities on the critical path represent critical functionality.

d)

The activities on the critical path represent the highest schedule risk in the project.

13.

Your project sponsor is extremely disappointed with the project as it is over budget by $15,000 and also behind schedule by several weeks. The sponsor has asked you take care of this situation immediately and do whatever it takes. While exploring different options to shorten the project duration, you decide to put some of the noncritical activities on hold so that some of the resources working on these activities and be assigned to the activities with the most schedule risk. You also asked for a couple of additional external resources to be added to the project. The sponsor agrees to pay additional cost time is now a critical factor. This is an example of which of the following?

a)

Critical chain method

b)

Crashing

c)

Fast-tracking

d)

Resource Levelling
