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. Delay between an activity and the subsequent one dependent upon it.
Fast Tracking
Lag
Free Float
Negative Float
2. A type of network diagram where activities are represented on rectangular nodes with arrows representing the dependencies.
Mathematical Analysis
Activity on Node Diagram
Backward Pass
Crashing
3. Activities with finish to start relationships cannot start until their predecessors have been finished; however - if you have 5 days of lead time on an activity - it may begin 5 days before its predecessor.
Critical Path
Milestones
Duration Compression
Lead
4. A situation that occurs when an activity's start date comes before a preceding activity's finish date.
Negative Float
Network Diagram
Activity List
Dummy Activity
5. A schedule buffer used to reduce schedule risk.

Backward Pass
Duration Compression
Reserve Time (Contingency)
6. How much time an activity can be delayed without affecting the project's finish date.
Fast Tracking
Float
Mathematical Analysis
Heuristics
7. The method for calculating early start and early finish dates for an activity.
Lag
Expert Judgment
Forward Pass
Lead
8. Float.
Slack
Float
Critical Path
Forward Pass
9. Method of estimated where experts are asked to provide input to the schedule.
Precedence Diagramming Method
Schedule Baseline
Lead
Expert Judgment
10. Method of diagramming project activities to show sequence and dependencies.

Lead
Free Float
Forward Pass
11. Probable number of periods this activity should take with the probable range of results (1 week +/- 3 days)
Activity Decomposition
Duration Compression
Activity Duration Estimates
Analogous Estimating
12. Means of gathering expert judgment where the participants do not know who the others are and therefore are not able to influence each other's opinion. Designed to prevent "groupthink."
Delphi Technique
Activity Decomposition
Expert Judgment
Heuristics
13. A form of expert judgment often used early on when there is little information available. It is performed from the top down - focusing on the big picture.
Activity Duration Estimates
Dummy Activity
Variance Analysis
Analogous Estimating
14. A technique to show scheduling possibilities where early and late start and finish dates are calculated for every activity without looking at resource estimates.
Precedence Diagramming Method
Mathematical Analysis
Critical Path
Expert Judgment
15. Or free slack--how much time an activity can be delayed without affecting the early start date of subsequent dependent activities.
Dummy Activity
Mathematical Analysis
Free Float
Slack
16. Computer simulation that throws a high number of "what if" scenarios at the project schedule to determine probable results.
Monte Carlo Analysis
Network Diagram
Milestones
Backward Pass
17. Perform activities in parallel that normally are done in sequence; increases risk
Crashing
Network Diagram
Fast Tracking
Reserve Time (Contingency)
18. Activities that must be completed before other activities either start or finish (mandatory - discretionary - and external).
Forward Pass

Network Diagram
19. A rarely used type of network diagram where activities are represented by arrows connecting the nodes.
