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.

2. Total costs actually incurred and recorded in accomplishing work performed during a given time period for a schedule activity or work breakdown structure component. actual cost can sometimes be direct labor hours alone - direct costs alone - or all c






3. An estimating technique that uses the values of parameters - such as scope - cost - budget - and duration or measures of scale such as size - weight - and complexity from a previous similar activity as the basis of estimating the same parameter or me

21. Number of labor units required to complete a schedule activity or work breakdown structure component






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

25. Formalizing acceptance of the completed project deliverables






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.

31. Reviewing all change requests - approving changes - and managing changes to the deliverables - organizational process assets - project documents and project management plan






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






33. The earliest point in time on which the uncompleted portions of a schedule activity (or the project) can finish - based on the schedule network logic - the data date and any schedule constraints.






34. Deliverable that is subject to approval by the project sponsor or customer






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