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.

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. The time in calendar units between the actual start date of the schedule activity and either the data date of the project schedule if the schedule activity is in progress or the actual finish date if the schedule activity is complete






8. Calculation of the early start and early finish dates for the uncompleted portions of all network activities






9. 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.

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






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






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






14. A mutually binding agreement that obligates the seller to provide the specified product or service or result and obligates the buyer to pay for it






15. 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






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






17. Deliverable that is subject to approval by the project sponsor or customer






18. 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.






19. 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
