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






2. Defined systematic procedure employed by a human resource to perform an activity to produce a product or result or deliver a service that may employ one or more tools






3. Identifying quality requirements and/or standards for the project and product and documenting how the project will demonstrate compliance






4. Source of variation that is not inherent in the system - is not predictable - and it intermittent. also referred to as assignable cause.






5. Schedule activity that determines when the logical successor activity can begin or end






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






7. 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.






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






9. Action taken to bring a defective or nonconforming component into compliance with requirements or specifications






10. Significant point or event in the project






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






12. 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






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






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






15. A component of work performed during the course of a project






16. A specific technique for measuring the performance of work and used to establish the performance measurement baseline






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






18. The area on either side of the centerline - or mean - of data plotted on a control chart that meets the customer's requirements for a product or service.






19. Processes that organize and manage the project team






20. Determining project stakeholder information needs and defining a communication approach






21. Form of progressive elaboration planning where the work to be accomplished in the near term is planned in detail at a low level of the work breakdown structure - while the work far in the future is planned at a relatively high level of the work break






22. Skilled human resources - equipment - services - supplies - commodities - material - budgets or funds






23. Something toward which work is to be directed - a strategic position to be attained - or a purpose to be achieved - a result to be obtained - a product to produced or a service to be performed






24. Developing a detailed description of the project and product






25. 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






26. Quantifiable deviation - departure or divergence away from a known baseline or expected value






27. Extending or generating parallel schedule network paths from the same node in a project schedule network diagram. characterized by schedule activity with more than one successor activity






28. Category or rank used to distinguish items that have the same functional use but do not share the same requirements for quality






29. A formally constituted group of stakeholders responsible for reviewing - evaluating - approving - delaying or rejecting changes to a project - with all the decisions and recommendations being recorded






30. Point in time that work was scheduled to finish on a schedule activity. called planned finish date






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






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






33. Summary level project schedule that identifies the major deliverables and work breakdown structure components and key schedule milestones






34. Learning gained from the process of performing the project






35. An imperfection or deficiency in a project component where that component does not meet requirements or specifications and needs to be either repaired or replaced






36. Launching a process that can result in the authorization of a new project






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






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






39. 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.






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






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






42. Risk that arises as a direct result of implementing a risk response






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






44. Adding features and functionality (project scope) without addressing the effects on time - costs - and resources or without customer approval






45. 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






46. Modification of a logical relationship that directs a delay in the successor activity. activity with a 10 day lag - cannot start until 10 days after an activity is finished






47. Collection of schedule activity dependencies that makes up a project schedule network diagram






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






49. Defining how to conduct risk management activities for a project






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