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. 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






2. Logical relationship where initiation of the work of the successor schedule activity depends upon the initiation of the work of the predecessor schedule activity






3. Approximating the number of work periods needed to complete individual activities with estimated resources






4. 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






5. 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






6. Area of project management defined by its knowledge requirements and described in terms of its component processes - practices - inputs - outputs - tools and techniques






7. Directing - managing - performing and accomplishing the project work - providing the deliverables and providing work performance information






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






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. Document containing the results of the qualitative risk analysis - quantitative risk analysis and risk response planning. details all identified risks including description - category - cause - probability of occurring - impact on objectives - propos






11. Logical relationship where initiation of work of the successor activity depends on the completion of work of the predecessor activity






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






13. 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






14. Assumptions are factors that - for planning purposes - are considered to be true - real - or certain without proof or demonstration






15. 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






16. 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






17. Reviewing all change requests - approving changes - and managing changes to the deliverables - organizational process assets - project documents and project management plan






18. The aggregate of things used by an organization in any undertaking such as equipment - apparatus - tools - machinery - gear - material.






19. 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






20. A formally constituted group of stakeholders responsible for reviewing - evaluating - approving - delaying or rejecting changes to a project - with all the decisions and recommendations being recorded






21. Output from performing project management processes and activities. results include outcomes and documents.






22. Evaluation of whether or not a product - service - or system complies with a regulation - requirement - specification or imposed condition.






23. 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






24. Something toward which work is to be directed - a strategic position to be attained - or a purpose to be achieved - a result to be obtained - a product to produced or a service to be performed






25. Hierarchal organization where each employee has one clear superior and staff are grouped by areas of specialization and managed by a person with expertise in that area.






26. Adding features and functionality (project scope) without addressing the effects on time - costs - and resources or without customer approval






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






28. Expected cost needed to complete all the remaining work for a schedule activity - work breakdown structure component or project.






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






30. 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.






31. A condition or situation favorable to the project - a positive set of circumstances - a positive set of events - a risk that will have a positive impact.






32. Developing an approximation of the monetary resources needed to complete project activities






33. Float (total float - free float)






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






35. Source of variation that is not inherent in the system - is not predictable - and it intermittent. also referred to as assignable cause.

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






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






39. Type of procurement document whereby the buyer requests a potential seller to provide various pieces of information related to a product or service or seller capability






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






41. Analytical technique used to determine basic underlying reason that causes a variance or defect or risk






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






43. Point in time associated with a schedule activities' start.






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






45. Project model that translates the uncertainties specified at a detailed level into the potential impact on objectives that are expressed at the level of the total project. Monte Carlo Analysis






46. The time in calendar units between the start and finish of a schedule activity






47. The expected total cost of a schedule activity - a work breakdown structure component or the project when the defined scope of work will be completed. Calculated based on performance to date or estimated by the project team based on other factors
