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. The process of prioritizing risks for further analysis or action by assessing and combining their probability of occurrence and impact






2. The statue - quality or sense of being restricted to a given course of action or inaction. an applicable restriction or limitation - either internal or external to a project - which will affect the performance of the project or a process.






3. A general data gathering and creativity technique that can be used to identify risks - ideas or solutions to issues by using a group of team members or subject matter experts






4. Tracking team member performance - providing feedback - resolving issues and managing changes to optimize project performance






5. Risk response planning technique for a threat that creates changes to the project management plan that are meant to either eliminate the risk or to protect the project objectives from its impact.






6. Slack - 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.






7. The expected total cost of a schedule activity - a work breakdown structure component or the project when the defined scope of work will be completed. Calculated based on performance to date or estimated by the project team based on other factors






8. Work that must be performed to deliver a product - service or result with the specified features and functions






9. Technique for estimating that applies a weighted average of optimistic - pessimistic and most likely estimates when there is uncertainty with the individual activity estimates






10. The process of finalizing all activities across all of the project management process groups to formally complete the project or phase






11. An approved plan for a project - plus or minus approved changes. it is compared to actual performance to determine if performance is within acceptable variance thresholds. generally refers to the current baseline - but may refer to the original or so






12. Organizational body or entity assigned various responsibilities related to the centralized and coordinated management of those projects under its domain.






13. Store of historical information and lessons learned about both the outcomes of previous project selection decisions and previous project performance






14. Provision in the project management plan to mitigate cost and or schedule risk. modifier: management reserve (unknown risks) - contingency reserve (known - but unplanned risks)






15. A group of related projects managed in a coordinated way to obtain benefits and control not available from managing them individually.






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






17. Hybrid contractual arrangement containing aspects of both cost reimbursable and fixed price contracts. time and material contract have no definitive end - can grow. units are preset by the buyer and seller.






18. Identifying early and late start dates as well as early and late finish dates for the uncompleted portions of project schedule activities






19. Sum of products - services and results to be provided as a project






20. The time in calendar units between the start and finish of a schedule activity






21. 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






22. 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






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






24. Any numbering system used to uniquely identify each component of the work breakdown structure






25. An estimating technique that uses a statistical relationship between historical data and other variables (sq. foot in construction - lines of code in software development) to calculate an estimate for activity parameters such as scope - cost - budget






26. Communicating and working with stakeholders to meet their needs and address issues as they occur






27. Schedule activity that follows a predecessor activity as determined by their logical relationship






28. Developing options and actions to enhance opportunities and to reduce threats to project objectives






29. A point in time associated with schedule activity's completion.






30. The smallest unit of time used in scheduling a project. calendar units are generally in hours - days - or weeks - but can also be in quarters years - months - shifts - or even minutes






31. Type of procurement document used to request proposals from prospective sellers of products or services.






32. Person or organization that is actively involved in the project or whose interests may be positively or negatively affected by execution or completion of the project






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






34. Logical grouping of project management inputs - tools and techniques and outputs. includes initiating processes - planning processes - executing processes - monitoring and controlling processes and closing processes. NOT project phases






35. Model used in conjunction with manual methods or project management software to perform schedule network analysis to generate the project schedule for use in managing the executing or a project






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






37. Partially complete document in a predefined format that provides a defined structure for collecting - organizing and presenting information and data






38. Approximating the number of work periods needed to complete individual activities with estimated resources






39. Assurance that a product - service or system meets the needs of the customer and other identified stakeholders






40. Processes required to ensure timely and appropriate generation - collection - distribution - storage - retrieval - and ultimate disposition of project information






41. The calculation of late finish dates and late start dates for uncompleted portions of all schedule activities. determined by working backward through the schedule network logic from the projects end date






42. Describes each component in the work breakdown structure (WBS). for each WBS component - the WBS dictionary includes a brief definition of the scope of statement of work - defined deliverables - a list of associated activities and list of milestones.






43. Buyer pays the seller a set amount (as defined by the contract) and the seller can earn an additional amount if the seller meets defined performance criteria






44. 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






45. Approved specific version of the detailed scope statement - work breakdown structure (WBS) and its associated WBS dictionary






46. The process of confirming human resource availability and obtaining team necessary to complete project assignments






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






48. Budgeted cost of work performed






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






50. Request for proposal - but may have a narrower or more specific meaning
