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. Multiple attributes associated with each schedule activity that can be included within the activity list. activity attributes include activity codes - predecessor activities - successor activities - logical relationships - leads and lags - resource r






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






3. Formalizing acceptance of the completed project deliverables






4. The date up to or through which the project's reporting system has provided actual status and accomplishments. also called as-of date and time-now date.






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






6. Identifying and documenting relationships among project activities






7. ACWP






8. Documents and data on prior project including project files - records - correspondence - closed contracts - and closed projects






9. Document that provides for common and repeated use - rules - guidelines or characteristics for activities or their results






10. Subsystem of overall project management system. collection of formal documented procedures that defines how project work will be authorized to ensure that the work is done by the identified organization - at the right time and in the proper sequence.






11. Graphic display of cumulative costs - labor - hours - percentage of work or other quantities - plotted against time. used to depict planned value - earned value and active costs.






12. A planning technique that subdivides the project scope and project deliverables into smaller - more manageable components - until the project work associated with accomplishing the project scope and providing the deliverables is defined in sufficient






13. Processes to purchase or acquire the products - services or results needed from outside the project team to perform the work






14. One or more numerical or text values that identify characteristics of the work or in some way categorize the schedule activity that allows filtering and ordering of activities within reports






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






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






17. Hierarchically organized depiction of the identified project risks arranged by risk category and subcategory that identifies the various areas and causes of potential risks.






18. Schedule network diagramming technique in which schedule activities are represented by boxes or nodes. schedule activities are graphically linked by one or more logical relationships to show the sequence in which the activities are performed






19. Method of resolving the total variance in the set of scope - cost - and schedule variables into specific component variances that are associated with defined factors affecting scope - cost and schedule variables






20. 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






21. Person or group that provides financial resources in cash or in kind for the project






22. Quantitative risk analysis and modeling technique used to determine which risks have the most potential impact on the project. typical display of results is in the form of a tornado diagram






23. Amount of time that a schedule activity can be delayed without delaying the early start date of any immediately following schedule activities.






24. Analytical technique that uses mathematical models to forecast future outcomes based on historical results. it is a method of determining the variance from a baseline parameter by using prior progress reporting periods data and projecting how much th






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






26. Developing a document that formally authorizes a project or phase and documenting initial requirement that satisfy the stakeholders needs and expectations






27. Structure in which the project manager shares responsibility with the functional managers for assigning priorities and directing the work of persons assigned to the project

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






31. Collecting and distributing performance information - including status reports - progress measurements and forecasts






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






33. 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.
