Match each statement with the correct term.
Don't refresh. All questions and answers are randomly picked and ordered every time you load a test.
This is a study tool. The 3 wrong answers for each question are randomly chosen from answers to other questions. So, you might find at times the answers obvious, but you will see it re-enforces your understanding as you take the test each time.
1. Comparing planned versus actual schedule dates.
Lead
Forward Pass
Variance Analysis
Activity on Node Diagram
2. High-level points in the schedule used to track and report progress.
Activity on Arrow Diagram

Milestones
Activity List
3. A situation that occurs when an activity's start date comes before a preceding activity's finish date.
Forward Pass
Dependencies
Negative Float
Activity Decomposition
4. Probable number of periods this activity should take with the probable range of results (1 week +/- 3 days)
Slack
Analogous Estimating
Activity Duration Estimates
Precedence Diagramming Method
5. List of every activity that will be performed on the project.
Dependencies
Schedule Baseline
Float
Activity List
6. Method of diagramming project activities to show sequence and dependencies.

Network Diagram
Milestones
7. Final result is an activity list (similar to Scope Decomposition where the result is a WBS)
Milestones
Activity Decomposition
Backward Pass
Network Diagram
8. A type of network diagram where the boxes are activities - and the arrows are used to show dependencies between the activities.
Variance Analysis
Reserve Time (Contingency)
Precedence Diagramming Method
Activity Duration Estimates
9. Rules for which no formula exists; usually derived through trial and error.
Backward Pass
Dependencies
Activity Decomposition
Heuristics
10. Method of estimated where experts are asked to provide input to the schedule.
Lag
Forward Pass
Expert Judgment
Dummy Activity
11. A rarely used type of network diagram where activities are represented by arrows connecting the nodes.
Activity List
Mathematical Analysis
Activity on Arrow Diagram
Dependencies
12. A schedule buffer used to reduce schedule risk.
Activity on Node Diagram
Precedence Diagramming Method
Negative Float
Reserve Time (Contingency)
13. Perform activities in parallel that normally are done in sequence; increases risk
Precedence Diagramming Method
Fast Tracking
Lead
Schedule Baseline
14. A technique to show scheduling possibilities where early and late start and finish dates are calculated for every activity without looking at resource estimates.
Forward Pass
Heuristics
Lead
Mathematical Analysis
15. Activities with finish to start relationships cannot start until their predecessors have been finished; however - if you have 5 days of lead time on an activity - it may begin 5 days before its predecessor.
Slack
Analogous Estimating
Lead
Dummy Activity
16. Computer simulation that throws a high number of "what if" scenarios at the project schedule to determine probable results.

Precedence Diagramming Method
Float
18. Float.

24. An activity in a network diagram that does not have any time associated with it. Only included to show relationship and is usually dotted or dashed line.

Free Float
26. Means of gathering expert judgment where the participants do not know who the others are and therefore are not able to influence each other's opinion. Designed to prevent "groupthink."
