Total questions: 15
Worksheet time: 8mins
How can you ensure that a newly created task in MS Project will not be manually scheduled?
By right-clicking the task and selecting "Auto Scheduled."
By leaving the Task Mode column blank.
By changing the scheduling options in the File > Options > Schedule menu.
This is not possible; all new tasks are manually scheduled by default.
You need to record a team-building event on September 1, 2025, as a non-working day for your project. Where in MS Project would you define this?
In the Change Working Time dialog box under the Project tab.
In the Project Information window.
In the Resource Sheet for each team member.
By adding a new task with a duration of zero.
How can you enable the project summary task (Task ID 0) in your schedule?
By navigating to the View tab and selecting Show All Tasks.
It is enabled by default and cannot be hidden.
By inserting a new summary task at the top of the schedule.
By checking the Project Summary Task box in the Format tab.
What is the purpose of enabling the "Autolink inserted or moved tasks" option?
It automatically creates a new milestone for each new task.
It automatically links new tasks to the project summary task.
It automatically assigns resources to new tasks.
It automatically creates dependencies between tasks based on their order of insertion.
When you enter a duration for a task, MS Project adds a question mark (e.g., "5 days?"). What is the significance of this?
It indicates a conflict with an existing constraint.
It signifies that the task is a milestone.
It means the duration is an estimate and needs to be replaced with a firm value.
It shows that the task is not yet linked to a predecessor.
You have two tasks: "Remove furniture" (Task A) and "Tape trim" (Task B). You need to ensure that Task B can only start after Task A is completely finished. What is the most appropriate relationship type for this dependency?
Finish-to-Finish (FF)
Finish-to-Start (FS)
Start-to-Start (SS)
Start-to-Finish (SF)
A task must start three days after its predecessor finishes. How would you represent this in the Predecessor column?
C. [Predecessor ID]FS;3d
D. [Predecessor ID]FS-3
B. [Predecessor ID]FS-3d
A. [Predecessor ID]FS+3d
What is the "golden rule" regarding predecessors and summary tasks?
Predecessors should be assigned to all summary tasks.
You should not assign predecessors to summary tasks.
The first task in the project must be a summary task with no predecessor.
You should only assign predecessors to summary tasks when they have a fixed duration.
What is the correct way to add a deadline to a task in MS Project?
Set a "Must Finish On" constraint.
Insert the Deadline column and enter the required date.
A deadline cannot be set on individual tasks, only on the entire project.
Enter the deadline in the Duration field.
A task has a "Must Start On" constraint. If its predecessor is delayed, how will this constraint affect the task's start date?
The task will automatically reschedule to a later date.
The constraint will be ignored and the task will follow the new schedule.
The task will be automatically completed.
The constraint will prevent the task from moving and will be flagged as a scheduling conflict.
You have a new resource named "John Smith." You need to input his hourly rate and define his non-working days. Which view should you use?
The Gantt Chart View.
The Resource Sheet.
The Calendar View.
The Task Sheet.
After assigning a resource to a task, a red exclamation mark appears. What does this usually indicate?
The task has no predecessor.
The task has a fixed duration.
The task is a milestone.
The resource is over-allocated.
You need to assign multiple resources to a single task. What is the most efficient method to do this in MS Project?
Enter each resource name separated by a comma in the Resource Names column.
Drag and drop the resources from the Resource Sheet to the task.
Double-click the task and manually type the resource names in the Resources tab.
Use the Assign Resources dialog box, holding down the Ctrl key to select multiple names.
What is the primary benefit of setting a project baseline?
It is required for exporting the schedule as a PDF.
It provides a static snapshot of the original plan for performance measurement.
It locks the schedule so no further changes can be made.
It automatically generates a weekly status report.
Where do you find the option to set a baseline for your project?
File > Options.
Project > Set Baseline.
Task > Set Baseline.
