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. The earliest point in time on which the uncompleted portions of a schedule activity (or the project) can finish - based on the schedule network logic - the data date and any schedule constraints.






2. 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






3. Partially complete document in a predefined format that provides a defined structure for collecting - organizing and presenting information and data






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






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






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






7. The amount of funds - budget - or time needed above the estimate to reduce the risk of overruns of project objectives to a level acceptance to the organization






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






9. Summary level project schedule that identifies the major deliverables and work breakdown structure components and key schedule milestones






10. Modification that allows an acceleration of the successor activity.






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






12. Risk that remains after risk responses have been implemented






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






14. Float (total float - free float)






15. The area on either side of the centerline - or mean - of data plotted on a control chart that meets the customer's requirements for a product or service.






16. 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.






17. Organizational body or entity assigned various responsibilities related to the centralized and coordinated management of those projects under its domain.






18. Risk response planning technique associated with threats that seeks to reduce the probability of occurrence or impact of a risk to below an acceptable threshold






19. Describes each component in the work breakdown structure (WBS). for each WBS component - the WBS dictionary includes a brief definition of the scope of statement of work - defined deliverables - a list of associated activities and list of milestones.






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






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






22. 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.






23. Summary level schedule that identifies the major schedule milestone






24. Assurance that a product - service or system meets the needs of the customer and other identified stakeholders






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






26. The process of confirming human resource availability and obtaining team necessary to complete project assignments






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






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






29. The merging or joining of parallel schedule network paths into the same node in a project schedule network diagram. characterized by a schedule activity with more than one predecessor activity






30. 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






31. Method of resolving the total variance in the set of scope - cost - and schedule variables into specific component variances that are associated with defined factors affecting scope - cost and schedule variables






32. 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






33. The sum of all budgets established for the work to be performed on a project or a work breakdown structure component or a schedule activity. the total planned value for the project






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






35. Analytical technique to determine the essential features and relationships of components in the project management plan to establish a reserve for the schedule duration - budget - estimated cost or funds for a project






36. 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






37. The earliest point in time on which the uncompleted portions of a schedule activity can start - based on the schedule network logic - the data date and any schedule constraints.






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. 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






40. 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
