Instructions:
  • Answer 50 questions in 15 minutes.
  • If you are not ready to take this test, you can study here.
  • 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.

8. One or more numerical or text values that identify characteristics of the work or in some way categorize the schedule activity that allows filtering and ordering of activities within reports






9. An estimating technique that uses the values of parameters - such as scope - cost - budget - and duration or measures of scale such as size - weight - and complexity from a previous similar activity as the basis of estimating the same parameter or me






10. Specific version of the schedule model used to compare actual results to the plan to determine if preventive or corrective action is needed to meet the project objectives






11. A table that links requirements to their origin and traces them throughout the project life cycle

15. Smaller portion of the overall project created when a project is subdivided by their logical relationship






16. A diagram that describes a decision under consideration and the implications of choosing one or another of the available alternatives. it is used when some future scenarios or outcomes of actions are uncertain. it incorporates probabilities and costs






17. Degree - amount or volume of risk that an organization or individual will withstand






18. Defining how to conduct risk management activities for a project






19. Calculated projection of cost performance that must be achieved on the remaining work to meet a specified management goal. ratio of remaining work to funds remaining

24. Number of labor units required to complete a schedule activity or work breakdown structure component






25. The latest possible point in time that a schedule activity may begin based upon the schedule network logic - the project completion date and any constraints assigned to schedule activities without violating schedule constraint or delaying project com






26. Centralized coordinated management of a program to achieve the program's strategic objectives and benefits






27. Identifying - documenting - approving or rejecting and controlling changes to the project baselines






28. Action taken to bring a defective or nonconforming component into compliance with requirements or specifications






29. Processes required to ensure that the project includes all the work required and only the work required to complete the project successfully






30. Examining or measuring to verify whether an activity - component - product - result of service conforms to specified requirements.






31. ACWP






32. Temporary endeavor undertaken to create a unique product - service or result






33. Processes required to ensure timely and appropriate generation - collection - distribution - storage - retrieval - and ultimate disposition of project information






34. A planning technique that subdivides the project scope and project deliverables into smaller - more manageable components - until the project work associated with accomplishing the project scope and providing the deliverables is defined in sufficient






35. Process of numerically analyzing the effect of identified risks on overall project objectives






36. A point in time associated with schedule activity's completion.






37. Permission and direction to begin work on a specific schedule activity or work package or control account. sanctions project work to ensure that the work is done by the identified organization - at the right time - and in the proper sequence






38. Total amount of time that a schedule activity maybe delayed from its early start date without delaying the project finish date or violating a schedule constraint.






39. Members of the project team who are directly involved in project management activities






40. Communicating and working with stakeholders to meet their needs and address issues as they occur






41. Estimate of the amount of work that has been completed on an activity or a work breakdown structure component

45. Analyzing activity sequences - durations - resource requirements and schedule constraints to create the project schedule






46. The statue - quality or sense of being restricted to a given course of action or inaction. an applicable restriction or limitation - either internal or external to a project - which will affect the performance of the project or a process.






47. An information gathering technique used as a way to reach a consensus of experts on a subject. experts on the subject participate in the technique anonymously. a facilitator uses a questionnaire to solicit ideas about the important project points rel
