PMI Project Management Vocab

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. In the critical path method - the latest possible point in time when the uncompleted portions of a schedule activity can finish based on the schedule network logic - the project completion date - and any schedule constraints.






2. An uncertain event or condition that - if it occurs - has a positive or negative effect on one or more project objectives.






3. A technique for determining the cause and degree of difference between the baseline and actual performance.






4. A technique used to shorten the schedule duration without reducing the project scope.






5. In the critical path method - the earliest possible point in time when the uncompleted portions of a schedule activity can start based on the schedule network logic - the data date - and any schedule constraints.






6. A relationship in which a schedule activity has more than one successor.






7. A diagramming and calculation technique for evaluating the implications of a chain of multiple options in the presence of uncertainty.






8. An output of a schedule model that presents linked activities with planned dates - durations - milestones - and resources.






9. The number of labor units required to complete a schedule activity or work breakdown structure component - often expressed in hours - days - or weeks.






10. An individual - group - or organization who may affect - be affected by - or perceive itself to be affected by a decision - activity - or outcome of a project - program - or portfolio.






11. A risk that arises as a direct result of implementing a risk response.






12. Plans - processes - policies - procedures and knowledge bases specific to and used by the performing organization.






13. A review at the end of a phase in which a decision is made to continue to the next phase - to continue with modification - or to end a project or program.






14. A formal proposal to modify any document - deliverable - or baseline.






15. A technique used for constructing a schedule model in which activities are represented by nodes and are graphically linked by one or more logical relationships to show the sequence in which the activities are to be performed.






16. A graphical representation of the logical relationships among the project schedule activities.






17. A person or group who provides resources and support for the project - program - or portfolio - and is accountable for enabling success.






18. A numbering system used to uniquely identify each component of the work breakdown structure.






19. The approved version of a schedule model that can be changed only through formal change control procedures and is used as a basis for comparison to actual results.






20. A critical path method technique for calculating the early start and early finish dates by working forward through the schedule model from the project start date or a given point in time.






21. Any activity on the critical path in a project schedule.






22. A dependency between two activities - or between an activity and a milestone.






23. A component of the project - program - or portfolio management plan that describes how risk management activities will be structured and performed.






24. The centralized management of one or more portfolios to achieve strategic objectives.






25. A logical relationship in which a successor activity cannot finish until a predecessor activity has finished.






26. A significant point or event in a project - program - or portfolio.






27. A document that provides detailed deliverable - activity - and scheduling information about each component in the work breakdown structure.






28. A dependent activity that logically comes after another activity in a schedule.






29. A temporary endeavor undertaken to create a unique product - service - or result.






30. A point in time when the status of the project is recorded.






31. The description of the project scope - major deliverables - assumptions - and constraints.






32. A condition or capability that is required to be present in a product - service - or result to satisfy a contract or other formally imposed specification.






33. In the critical path method - the earliest possible point in time when the uncompleted portions of a schedule activity can finish based on the schedule network logic - the data date - and any schedule constraints.






34. A grid that shows the project resources assigned to each work package.






35. A group of related schedule activities aggregated and displayed as a single activity.






36. A management structure that standardizes the project-related governance processes and facilitates the sharing of resources - methodologies - tools - and techniques.






37. The amount of time whereby a successor activity can be advanced with respect to a predecessor activity.






38. A risk response strategy whereby the project team decides to acknowledge the risk and not take any action unless the risk occurs.






39. A methodology that combines scope - schedule - and resource measurements to assess project performance and progress.






40. A document in which the results of risk analysis and risk response planning are recorded.






41. A critical path method technique for calculating the late start and late finish dates by working backward through the schedule model from the project end date.






42. A measure of schedule efficiency expressed as the ratio of earned value to planned value.






43. An enterprise whose personnel are the most directly involved in doing the work of the project or program.






44. The sum of all budgets established for the work to be performed.






45. A method used to estimate the minimum project duration and determine the amount of scheduling flexibility on the logical network paths within the schedule model.






46. A logical relationship in which a successor activity cannot start until a predecessor activity has finished.






47. A hierarchical representation of risks that is organized according to risk categories.






48. Conditions - not under the immediate control of the team - that influence - constrain - or direct the project - program - or portfolio.






49. A collection of logically related project activities that culminates in the completion of one or more deliverables.






50. An intentional activity that realigns the performance of the project work with the project management plan.
