Schedule control involves analyzing activity sequences, activity duration estimates, and resource requirements to create the project schedule

Ideally, the project team and key stakeholders first define the project budget and then the time or schedule for the project

The WBS is often dissected during the activity definition process as the project team members further define the activities required for performing the work

Determining the relationships or dependencies between activities has a significant impact on developing and managing a project schedule

Discretionary dependencies are sometimes referred to as hard logic

Most project management software uses the precedence diagramming method

Duration relates to the effort estimate, not the time estimate

Gantt charts normally do not show relationships among project activities, as network diagrams do

A slipped milestone means the milestone activity was actually completed earlier than originally planned

Even though the critical path is the longest path, it represents the shortest time it takes to complete a project

There cannot be more than one critical path on a project

The main disadvantage of fast tracking is that it can end up lengthening the project schedule since starting some tasks too soon often increases project risk and results in rework

It is impossible to find the critical path for a project without considering resource allocation

Critical chain scheduling assumes that resources do not multitask.

PERT is the best probabilistic method for assessing risk

Not every single item on the WBS needs to be on the network diagram

As a rule of thumb, all arrowheads should face toward the left on an AOA network diagram

The critical path is concerned only with the time dimension of a project, not with the most critical activities

Project time management is often cited as the main source of conflict on projects.

According to the 1995 CHAOS report, unsuccessful information technology projects that were planned to take one year ended up taking ____ years to complete. (Avg Time Overrun = 222%)

Overall, ____ issues cause the most conflict over the life of a project.

There are ____ main processes involved in project time management.

*Planning & Controlling

Activity ____ involves identifying the specific activities that the project team members and stakeholders must perform to produce the project deliverables.

Activity ____ involves identifying and documenting the relationships between project activities.

Activity ____ estimating involves estimating the number of work periods that are needed to complete individual activities.

Schedule ____ involves analyzing activity sequences, activity duration estimates, and resource requirements to create the project schedule.

Schedule ____ involves managing changes to the project schedule.

Activity ____ involves reviewing the activities in the detailed WBS, detailed product descriptions, assumptions, and constraints to determine the relationships between activities.

There are ____ basic reasons for creating dependencies among project activities.

____ dependencies are inherent in the nature of the work being done on a project.

____ dependencies are defined by the project team.

____ dependencies involve relationships between project and non-project activities.

A project ____ diagram is a schematic display of the logical relationships among, or sequencing of, project activities.

In the figure above, the letters A through J represent activities with ____ that are required to complete the project.

A PDM, or ____ diagramming method (PDM) is a network diagramming technique in which boxes represent activities.

____ is a relationship in which the "from" activity cannot start until the "to" activity is started.

____ is a rarely used relationship in which the "from" activity must start before the "to" activity can be finished.

An example of a ____ relationship is when quality control efforts cannot finish before production finishes, although the two activities can be performed at the same time.

The number of workdays or work hours required to complete a task is called ____.

On a Gantt chart, a(n) ____ is a significant event on a project with zero duration.

The critical path method (CPM) also called critical path ____ is used to predict total project duration.

Slack or ____ is the amount of time an activity may be delayed without delaying a succeeding activity or the project finish date.

A(n) ____ pass determines the early start and early finish dates for each activity.

____ is a technique for making cost and schedule trade-offs to obtain the greatest amount of schedule compression for the least incremental cost.

____ tracking involves doing activities in parallel that you would normally do in sequence.

The Theory of ____ (TOC) is based on the fact that, like a chain with its weakest link, any complex system at any point in time often has only one aspect that limits its ability to achieve more of its goal.

____ Law states that work expands to fill the time allowed.

Lucent Technology's Outside Plant Fiber Optic Cable Business Unit used critical chain scheduling to reduce its product introduction interval by ____ percent.

____ Technologies Group successfully implemented critical chain scheduling to manage more than 200 concurrent projects in nine locations.

ADM stands for ____ diagramming method.

____-on-arrow (AOA) is a network diagramming technique in which activities are represented by arrows and connected at points to illustrate the sequence of activities.

A(n) ____ pass is a project network diagramming technique that determines the late start and late finish dates for each activity in a similar fashion.

A(n) ____ is when a single node is followed by two or more activities on a network diagram.

A(n) ____ occurs when two or more nodes precede a single node on a network diagram.

The equation for the PERT ____ average is: (optimistic time + 4(most likely time) + pessimistic time)/6.

A(n) ____ Gantt chart is a Gantt chart that compares planned and actual project schedule information.

One of the first ____ checks a project manager should make is to review the draft schedule usually included in the project charter.

____-coding involves entering all activity dates manually instead of letting the software calculate them based on durations and relationships.
