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






2. Model used in conjunction with manual methods or project management software to perform schedule network analysis to generate the project schedule for use in managing the executing or a project






3. 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






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






5. Budgeted cost of work performed






6. The calculation of late finish dates and late start dates for uncompleted portions of all schedule activities. determined by working backward through the schedule network logic from the projects end date






7. 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






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

11. Summary level schedule that identifies the major schedule milestone






12. 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.

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






15. An estimating technique that uses a statistical relationship between historical data and other variables (sq. foot in construction - lines of code in software development) to calculate an estimate for activity parameters such as scope - cost - budget






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






17. Request for proposal - but may have a narrower or more specific meaning






18. Shortening the project schedule duration without reducing the project scope






19. Documented direction to perform an activity that can reduce the probability of negative consequences associated with project risks






20. 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.






21. Narrative description of the project scope - including major deliverables - project assumptions - project constraints and a description of work that provides a documented basis for making future project decisions and for confirming or developing a co






22. 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






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






24. Provider of products - services or results






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






26. Identifying and documenting project roles - responsibilities - and required skills - reporting relationships and creating a staffing management plan.






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






28. Learning gained from the process of performing the project






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






30. Information gathering technique examines the project from the perspective of each projects strengths - weaknesses - opportunities - and threats to increase the breadth of the risks considered by risk management






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






32. Indications that a risk has occurred or is about to occur. also called risk symptoms or warning signs. should be watched or monitored in the risk monitoring and control process.






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






34. An artifact that is produced - is quantifiable and can be either an end item in itself or a component item






35. Process of numerically analyzing the effect of identified risks on overall project objectives






36. Making relevant information available to project stakeholders






37. The statue - quality or sense of being restricted to a given course of action or inaction. an applicable restriction or limitation - either internal or external to a project - which will affect the performance of the project or a process.






38. Skilled human resources - equipment - services - supplies - commodities - material - budgets or funds






39. Hybrid contractual arrangement containing aspects of both cost reimbursable and fixed price contracts. time and material contract have no definitive end - can grow. units are preset by the buyer and seller.






40. 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






41. Risk response planning technique that indicates the project team has decided not to change the project management plan to deal with a risk - or is unable to identify any other suitable response strategy






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






43. 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

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






47. Modification of a logical relationship that directs a delay in the successor activity. activity with a 10 day lag - cannot start until 10 days after an activity is finished






48. Requests to expand or reduce the project scope - modify policies - processes - plans or procedures - modify costs or budgets - or revise schedules






49. Hierarchically organized depiction of the project organization arranged so as to relate the work packages to the performing organizational units
