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 amount of funds - budget - or time needed above the estimate to reduce the risk of overruns of project objectives to a level acceptance to the organization






2. The sum of all budgets established for the work to be performed on a project or a work breakdown structure component or a schedule activity. the total planned value for the project






3. A formal approved document that defines how the project is executed - monitored - and controlled.






4. Temporary endeavor undertaken to create a unique product - service or result






5. 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.






6. Logical relationship where completion of work of the successor activity cannot finish until the completion of work of the predecessor activity.






7. Identifying the specific actions to be performed to produce the project deliverables






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






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






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






11. One of the defining points of a schedule network; a junction point joined to some or all of the other dependency lines






12. Specific version of the schedule model used to compare actual results to the plan to determine if preventive or corrective action is needed to meet the project objectives






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






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






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






16. Modification that allows an acceleration of the successor activity.






17. Analytical procedure in which each potential failure mode in every component of a product is analyzed to determine its effect on the reliability of that component and - by itself or in combination with other possible failure modes - on the reliabilit






18. Any form of schedule network analysis in which scheduling decisions are driven by resource constraints






19. 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






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






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






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






23. Analyzing activity sequences - durations - resource requirements and schedule constraints to create the project schedule






24. 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.






25. Total number of work periods required to complete a schedule activity or work breakdown structure component.






26. Subdivision of a phase






27. A category of projects that have common components significant in such projects - but are not needed or present in all projects. application areas are usually defined in terms of either the product or the type of customer or industry sector






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






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






30. 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.






31. 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






32. Analytical technique used to determine basic underlying reason that causes a variance or defect or risk






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






34. Collection of generally sequential - non overlapping product phases whose name and number are determined by the manufacturing and control needs of the organization.






35. Bar chart showing the amount of time that a resource is scheduled to work over a series of time periods.






36. A source of variation that is inherent in the system and predictable. on a control chart - it appears as part of the random process variation and is indicated by random pattern of points within the control limits. also referred to as random cause






37. Document that graphically depicts the project team members and their interrelationships for a specific project

45. Compares technical accomplishments during project execution to the project management plan's schedule of planned technical achievements.






46. 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
