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.

26. 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






27. Those processes performed to complete the work defined in the project management plan to satisfy project objectives






28. Change to project scope. almost always requires an adjustment to the project cost or schedule






29. 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
