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.
1. 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






2. Cost - time - quality - technical or resource value used as a parameter and which may be included in product specification. crossing the threshold should trigger some action.






3. Document issued by the project initiator or sponsor that formally authorizes the existence of a project and provides the project manager with the authority to apply organization resources to the project activities






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






5. The enterprise whose personnel are directly involved in doing the work of the project






6. Analytical technique that uses three cost or duration estimates to represent optimistic - most likely and pessimistic scenarios.






7. A technique that explores the accuracy of assumptions and identifies risks to the project from inaccuracy - inconsistency - or incompleteness of assumptions






8. Float (total float - free float)






9. Processes involved in estimating - budgeting - and controlling costs so that the project can be completed within the approved budget






10. Calendar of working days and non-working days that determines those dates on which each specific recourse is idle or can be active






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






12. Graphical representation of situations showing causal influences - time ordering of events and other relationships among variables and outcomes






13. The process of managing procurement relationships - monitoring contract performance - and making changes and corrections as needed






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






15. Reserve






16. Processes and activities needed to identify - define - combine - unify and coordinate the various processes and project management activities within the project management process groups






17. Requirements imposed by a government body. government mandated compliance






18. Structure in which the project manager has full authority to assign priorities - apply resources and direct the work of persons assigned to the project






19. A diagram that describes a decision under consideration and the implications of choosing one or another of the available alternatives. it is used when some future scenarios or outcomes of actions are uncertain. it incorporates probabilities and costs






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






21. Uncertain event or condition that has a positive or negative effect on projects objectives






22. Assumptions are factors that - for planning purposes - are considered to be true - real - or certain without proof or demonstration






23. Something tangible used in performing an activity to produce a product or result






24. Documenting the actions necessary to define - prepare - integrate and coordinate all subsidiary plans






25. Document that describes how procurement processes from developing procurement documentation through contract closure will be managed

27. A request - demand or assertion of rights by a seller against a buyer or vice versa for consideration - compensation - or payment under the terms of a legally binding contract (such as for a disputed change)






28. Processes concerned with conducting risk management planning - identification - analysis - responses and monitoring and control on a project






29. Defined function to be performed by a project team member






30. Graphic display of schedule related information.






31. Document that describes how the project scope will be defined - developed and verified and how the work breakdown structure will be created and defined and that provides guidance on how the project scope will be managed and controlled by the project






32. A quantitative assessment of the likely amount or outcome. usually applied to project costs - resources - effort and durations.






33. A point that is not settled or is under discussion or over which there are opposing views or disagreements






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






35. Budgeted cost of work scheduled






36. Estimate or prediction of conditions and events in the projects future based on information and knowledge available at the time of the forecast. information is based on the project's past performance and expected future performance






37. 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






38. Risk that remains after risk responses have been implemented






39. Judgment provided based upon expertise in an application area - knowledge area - discipline - industry - etc. as appropriate for the activity being performed.
