1. Calculate the latest finish for Task D if one of its successors, Task F, has a latest start on day 9, its other successor, Task E, has a latest start on day 10, and the duration of Task D is 2 days.
2. With projects for which there is a high degree of uncertainty about the estimated durations for activities, it is possible to use three time estimates:
3. It is important to know what types of resources are available, in what quantities, and during what time periods to determine:
4. In order to establish a basis from which to calculate a schedule using the estimated durations for the activities, it is necessary to:
5. In many cases, especially for smaller projects, most activities involve people resources—that is:
6. Calculate the earliest start for Task B if its predecessor, Task A, finishes on day 3 and the duration of Task B is 2 days.
7. The project control process must occur regularly throughout the project and include all of the following EXCEPT:
8. Latest start time is calculated by:
9. The estimated duration for each activity must be the total elapsed time, the time:
10. With respect to the project schedule, changes can result in any of the following EXCEPT:
11. When estimating resources for activities to estimate the activity's duration, the __________ of each resource has to be taken into account.
12. Total slack is sometimes called:
13. Latest finish time (LF) is the latest time by which a specific activity must be:
14. The ES and EF times are determined by calculating forward, that is, by:
15. Calculate the earliest start for Task D if one of its predecessors, Task A, finishes on day 3, its other predecessor, Task C, finishes on day 4, and the duration of Task D is 2 days.
16. Agile project management is an approach to __________ product development time while __________ risk through continuous interaction between the customer and small self-organizing teams that produce increments of working product.
17. Total slack is calculated for each of the activities by finding the difference between the:
18. The facilitator for the Scrum development process during a sprint whose primary job is to take actions to remove or reduce any obstacles, barriers, or constraints that are impeding progress of the development team toward accomplishing their work tasks and that may negatively impact the successful production and demonstration of a deliverable working product increment by the end of the sprint time is the:
19. If an organization or subcontractor has performed similar projects in the past and has kept records of how long specific activities actually took, these historical data:
20. Throughout the performance of the project, some activities will take longer than their estimated duration, others will be done in less time than their estimated duration, and
21. The budget for each work package is:
22. The total project cost is often estimated during the __________ phase of the project or when the project charter or a proposal is prepared.
23. Resource-limited scheduling is a method for:
24. Earned value, the value of the __________, is a key parameter that must be determined throughout the project.
25. The __________ for the entire project or each work package provides a baseline against which actual cost and work performance can be compared at any time during the project.
26. If resources are to be considered in planning, it is necessary to
27. Costs are __________ when an item is ordered even though actual payment may take place at some later time.
28. Once a total budgeted cost has been established for each work package, the second step in the project budgeting process is to:
29. Resource leveling, or smoothing, is a method for:
30. Allocating total project costs for the various elements to the appropriate work packages will establish:
31. The __________ is the time-phased baseline budget that will be used to analyze the cost performance of the project.
32. The statement, "Network diagrams illustrate the technical constraints among activities," means the activities are constrained because:
33. The start of noncritical activities are delayed beyond their earliest start times (but not beyond their latest start times) in order to:
34. A cost is determined for each period, based on when the activities that make up the work package are scheduled to be performed, to create:
35. At the beginning of the project, it may not be possible to estimate the costs for all activities with a level of confidence regarding their accuracy. This is especially true for:
36. Why are activities drawn in a serial relationship in a network diagram?
37. Facilities costs in the project costs estimate are for:
38. The __________ is the amount that was budgeted to accomplish the work that was scheduled to be performed up to that point in time.
39. It is important to use the __________ as the standard against which actual cost is compared.
40. The __________ is the sum of the estimated costs of all the specific activities that make up a work package or the project.
