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






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






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






4. Logical relationship where completion of work of the successor activity cannot finish until the completion of work of the predecessor activity.






5. Collecting and distributing performance information - including status reports - progress measurements and forecasts






6. Processes and activities needed to identify - define - combine - unify and coordinate the various processes and project management activities within the project management process groups






7. A method of estimating a component of work. the work is decomposed into more detail. an estimate is prepared of what is needed to meet the requirements of each of the lower - more detailed pieces of work - and these estimates are then aggregated into






8. Calendar of working days or shifts that establishes those dates on which schedule activities are worked and nonworking days that determine those dates on which schedule activities are idle






9. Implementing risk response plans - tracking identified risks - monitoring residual risks - identifying new risks and evaluating risk process throughout the project






10. Processes required to manage the timely completion of a project

12. Collection of projects or programs and other work that are grouped together to facilitate effective management of that work to meet strategic business objectives






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






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






15. Processes that organize and manage the project team






16. Schematic display of the logical relationships among the project schedule activities. drawn from left to right.






17. Quantitative risk analysis and modeling technique used to determine which risks have the most potential impact on the project. typical display of results is in the form of a tornado diagram






18. Extending or generating parallel schedule network paths from the same node in a project schedule network diagram. characterized by schedule activity with more than one successor activity






19. Quantifiable deviation - departure or divergence away from a known baseline or expected value






20. Deliverable or project work component at the lowest level of each branch of the work breakdown structure






21. Graphical representation of situations showing causal influences - time ordering of events and other relationships among variables and outcomes






22. A formal approved document that defines how the project is executed - monitored - and controlled.






23. Specific type of management activity that contributes to the execution of a process and that may employ one or more techniques and tools






24. Documents and data on prior project including project files - records - correspondence - closed contracts - and closed projects






25. Budgeted cost of work performed






26. Condition or capability that must be met or possessed by a system - product - service result or component to satisfy a contract - standard - specification or other formally imposed document.






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






28. Someone with management authority over an organizational unit within a functional organization.






29. 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.

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






32. Collection of schedule activity dependencies that makes up a project schedule network diagram






33. Identifying all people or organizations impacted by the project and documenting relevant information regarding their interest - involvement and impact on project success

35. An entry in the work breakdown structure that can be at any level






36. Something tangible used in performing an activity to produce a product or result






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. Identifying quality requirements and/or standards for the project and product and documenting how the project will demonstrate compliance






39. Multiple attributes associated with each schedule activity that can be included within the activity list. activity attributes include activity codes - predecessor activities - successor activities - logical relationships - leads and lags - resource r






40. Management methodology for integrating scope - schedule and resources and for objectively measuring project performance and progress. performance is measured by determining the budgeted cost of work performed (earned value) and comparing it to the ac






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






42. Any item - internal or external - that is required by a process before that process proceeds






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