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. Group of potential causes of risk. such as technical - external - organizational - environmental - project management. a category may include subcategories

9. Collection of logically related project activities - usually culminating in the completion of a major deliverable. project phase is a component of the project life cycle






10. Any form of schedule network analysis in which scheduling decisions are driven by resource constraints






11. Analytical procedure in which each potential failure mode in every component of a product is analyzed to determine its effect on the reliability of that component and - by itself or in combination with other possible failure modes - on the reliabilit






12. One of the defining points of a schedule network; a junction point joined to some or all of the other dependency lines






13. The process of obtaining seller responses - selecting a seller and awarding a contract






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






15. Processes and activities of the performing organization that determine quality policies - objectives and responsibilities so that the project will satisfy the needs for which it was undertaken






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






17. Process which generates hundreds or thousands of probable performance outcomes based on probability distributions for cost and schedule on individual tasks. the outcomes are used to generate a probability distribution for a project as a whole.






18. Structure in which the project manager has full authority to assign priorities - apply resources and direct the work of persons assigned to the project






19. Group of related schedule activities aggregated at some summary level and displayed as a single activity at that summary level. same as summary activity.

23. A category of projects that have common components significant in such projects - but are not needed or present in all projects. application areas are usually defined in terms of either the product or the type of customer or industry sector






24. A documented tabulation of schedule activities that shows the activity description - activity identifier - and a sufficiently detailed scope of work description so project team members understand what work is to be performed






25. Buyer pays the seller a set amount (as defined by the contract) and the seller can earn an additional amount if the seller meets defined performance criteria






26. Approved integrated scope-schedule-cost plan for the project work against which project execution is compared to measure and manage performance






27. A point that is not settled or is under discussion or over which there are opposing views or disagreements






28. Identifying early and late start dates as well as early and late finish dates for the uncompleted portions of project schedule activities






29. Documents and presentations that provide organized and summarized work performance information - earned value management parameters and calculations - and analyses of project work progress and status






30. Structure in which the project manager shares responsibility with the functional managers for assigning priorities and directing the work of persons assigned to the project






31. Technique that computes or iterates the project cost or project schedule many times using input values selected at random from probability distributions of possible costs or durations - to calculate a distribution of total project costs or completion






32. Uncertain event or condition that has a positive or negative effect on projects objectives






33. Performing the work defined in the project management plan to achieve the project's objectives






34. The date up to or through which the project's reporting system has provided actual status and accomplishments. also called as-of date and time-now date.
