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






2. Any continuous series of schedule activities connected with logical relationships in a project schedule network diagram

21. Schematic display of the logical relationships among the project schedule activities. drawn from left to right.






22. Aggregating the estimated costs of individual activities or work packages to establish an authorized cost baseline






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






24. Collect project performance data with respect to a plan - produce performance measures and report and disseminate performance information






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






26. 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.






27. Any unique and verifiable product - result - or capability to perform a service that must be produced to complete a process - phase or project.






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