The first step in the development of a schedule is a:
Listing of the activities
Determination of dependencies
Calculation of effort
Calculation of durations
Which of the following generally cannot be validated using a work breakdown structure?
Schedule control
Cost control
Quality control
Risk management
Optimistic, pessimistic, and most likely activity times are associated with:
PERT
GERT
PDM
ADM
Which of the following is (are) the benefit(s) of developing a WBS to low levels?
Better estimation of costs
Better control
Less likely that something will “fall through the cracks”
All other answers are correct
The major disadvantage of using bar charts to manage a project is that bar charts:
Do not show dependencies between activities
Are ineffective for projects under one year in length
Are ineffective for projects under $1 million in size
Do not identify start and end dates of a schedule
The most common “constraint” or relationship in a precedence network is:
Start-to-start
Start-to-finish
Finish-to-start
Finish-to-finish
The work breakdown structure “control points” for the management of a project are the:
Milestones
Work packages
Activities
Constraints
The change control board approves a significant scope change. The first document that the project manager should update would be the:
Scope baseline
Schedule
WBS
Budget
The shortest time necessary to complete all of the activities in a network is called the:
Activity duration length
Critical path
Maximum slack path
Compression path
You are a Project Manager on a software project. You’ve created the schedule, and you need to figure out which activities absolutely cannot slip. You’ve done critical path analysis, identifying the critical path and calculating the early start and early finish for each activity. Which activities cannot slip without making the project late?
The activity with the most lag
The activities on the critical path
The ones with the biggest difference between early start and late finish
The last activity in the project, because it has no float
