  • 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.

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






15. 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






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