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.

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






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






30. Logical relationship where initiation of the work of the successor schedule activity depends upon the initiation of the work of the predecessor schedule activity






31. Expected cost needed to complete all the remaining work for a schedule activity - work breakdown structure component or project.






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






33. Logical relationship where completion of the successor schedule activity is dependent upon the initiation of the predecessor schedule activity






34. Continuously improving and detailing a plan as more detailed and specific information and more accurate estimates become available as the project progresses and thereby producing more accurate and complete plans that result from the successive iterat
