Comptia Project + Project Management

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.
1. Bar chart showing the amount of time that a resource is scheduled to work over a series of time periods.






2. A component of work performed during the course of a project






3. Subsystem of overall project management system. collection of formal documented procedures that defines how project work will be authorized to ensure that the work is done by the identified organization - at the right time and in the proper sequence.






4. Determining which risks may affect the project and documenting their characteristics






5. Response to a negative risk that has occurred - workaround is not planned in advance of the occurrence of the risk event






6. Documents utilized in bid and proposal activities - which include the buyer's invitation for bid - invitation for negotiations - request for information - request for quotation - request for proposal and sellers responses






7. Document used to record and describe or denote selected items identified during execution of a process or activity






8. Project schedule compression that changes network logic to overlap phases that would normally be done in sequence






9. A collection of formal documented procedures that define how project deliverables and documentation will be controlled - changed and approved. in most application areas - the change control system is a subset of the configuration management system






10. Collection of generally sequential project phases whose name and number are determined by the control needs of the organization involved in the project






11. An approved plan for a project - plus or minus approved changes. it is compared to actual performance to determine if performance is within acceptable variance thresholds. generally refers to the current baseline - but may refer to the original or so






12. Risk response planning technique that indicates the project team has decided not to change the project management plan to deal with a risk - or is unable to identify any other suitable response strategy






13. Document describing how project risk management will be structured and performed on the project. contains the list of project risks - the results of risk analysis and risk responses






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






15. Continuously improving and detailing a plan as more detailed and specific information and more accurate estimates become available as the project progresses and thereby producing more accurate and complete plans that result from the successive iterat






16. Defined systematic procedure employed by a human resource to perform an activity to produce a product or result or deliver a service that may employ one or more tools






17. Auditing the quality requirements and the results from quality control measurements to ensure appropriate quality standards and operational definitions are used






18. Modification of a logical relationship that directs a delay in the successor activity. activity with a 10 day lag - cannot start until 10 days after an activity is finished






19. Structure that relates the project organizational breakdown structure to the work breakdown structure to help ensure that each component of the project scope of work is assigned to a person or team






20. A technique that explores the accuracy of assumptions and identifies risks to the project from inaccuracy - inconsistency - or incompleteness of assumptions






21. Document that specifies in a complete precise verifiable manner the requirements - design behavior or other characteristics of a system component - product - result or service






22. Float (total float - free float)






23. A change request that has been processed through the integrated change control process and approved






24. A request - demand or assertion of rights by a seller against a buyer or vice versa for consideration - compensation - or payment under the terms of a legally binding contract (such as for a disputed change)






25. Document that establishes criteria and activities for developing and controlling the project schedule






26. Schedule activity that determines when the logical successor activity can begin or end






27. Subdivision of a phase






28. An estimating technique that uses a statistical relationship between historical data and other variables (sq. foot in construction - lines of code in software development) to calculate an estimate for activity parameters such as scope - cost - budget






29. Project schedule network diagram drawn in such a way that the position and length of the schedule activity represents its duration. bar chart that includes schedule network logic






30. Processes to purchase or acquire the products - services or results needed from outside the project team to perform the work






31. Schedule network diagramming technique in which schedule activities are represented by boxes or nodes. schedule activities are graphically linked by one or more logical relationships to show the sequence in which the activities are performed






32. Processes that organize and manage the project team






33. Model used in conjunction with manual methods or project management software to perform schedule network analysis to generate the project schedule for use in managing the executing or a project






34. Those processes performed to finalize all activities across all project management process groups to formally close the project or phase






35. Document that graphically depicts the project team members and their interrelationships for a specific project






36. Logical grouping of project management inputs - tools and techniques and outputs. includes initiating processes - planning processes - executing processes - monitoring and controlling processes and closing processes. NOT project phases






37. Estimating the type and quantities of material - people - equipment or supplies required to perform the activity






38. Person or organization that is actively involved in the project or whose interests may be positively or negatively affected by execution or completion of the project






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






40. 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






41. A source of variation that is inherent in the system and predictable. on a control chart - it appears as part of the random process variation and is indicated by random pattern of points within the control limits. also referred to as random cause






42. Amount of time that a schedule activity can be delayed without delaying the early start date of any immediately following schedule activities.






43. A product - result or service generated by a process






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






45. Document describing how roles and responsibilities - reporting relationships and staffing management will be addressed and structured for the project






46. Point in time that work was scheduled to start on a schedule activity. called planned start date.






47. The acquirer of products - services or results for an organization






48. Those processes performed to complete the work defined in the project management plan to satisfy project objectives






49. Developing options and actions to enhance opportunities and to reduce threats to project objectives






50. Hierarchically organized depiction of the identified project risks arranged by risk category and subcategory that identifies the various areas and causes of potential risks.
