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. How much time an activity can be delayed without affecting the project's finish date.
Free Float
Dummy Activity
Float
Network Diagram
2. A technique primarily made up of two means of compressing the schedule: crashing and fast-tracking.
Lag
Forward Pass
Negative Float
Duration Compression
3. List of every activity that will be performed on the project.
Dummy Activity
Lead
Activity List
Fast Tracking
4. A rarely used type of network diagram where activities are represented by arrows connecting the nodes.
Negative Float
Network Diagram
Activity Duration Estimates
Activity on Arrow Diagram
5. Delay between an activity and the subsequent one dependent upon it.
Free Float
Crashing
Lag
Activity on Node Diagram
6. Or free slack--how much time an activity can be delayed without affecting the early start date of subsequent dependent activities.
Delphi Technique
Free Float
Backward Pass
Duration Compression
7. A schedule buffer used to reduce schedule risk.
Reserve Time (Contingency)
Slack
Forward Pass
Float
8. 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.
Lead
Precedence Diagramming Method
Reserve Time (Contingency)
Delphi Technique
9. A situation that occurs when an activity's start date comes before a preceding activity's finish date.
Negative Float
Variance Analysis
Activity on Arrow Diagram
Mathematical Analysis
10. Method for calculating late start and late finish dates for an activity.
Negative Float
Expert Judgment
Activity List
Backward Pass
11. Method of diagramming project activities to show sequence and dependencies.
Reserve Time (Contingency)
Activity on Node Diagram
Activity Decomposition
Network Diagram
12. 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.
Slack
Precedence Diagramming Method
Analogous Estimating
Critical Path
13. The path through the network diagram that show which activities - if delayed - will affect the project finish date.
Dummy Activity
Slack
Critical Path
Activity List
14. Applying more resources; increases cost
Dependencies
Crashing
Monte Carlo Analysis
Dummy Activity
15. Computer simulation that throws a high number of "what if" scenarios at the project schedule to determine probable results.
Activity on Node Diagram
Reserve Time (Contingency)
Monte Carlo Analysis
Free Float
16. Perform activities in parallel that normally are done in sequence; increases risk
Reserve Time (Contingency)
Analogous Estimating
Fast Tracking
Crashing
17. A type of network diagram where activities are represented on rectangular nodes with arrows representing the dependencies.
Variance Analysis

Activity on Node Diagram
18. A type of network diagram where the boxes are activities - and the arrows are used to show dependencies between the activities.

Activity Decomposition
19. The method for calculating early start and early finish dates for an activity.
Activity on Arrow Diagram

20. A technique to show scheduling possibilities where early and late start and finish dates are calculated for every activity without looking at resource estimates.
Schedule Baseline
Precedence Diagramming Method
Milestones
Mathematical Analysis
21. Rules for which no formula exists; usually derived through trial and error.
Heuristics
Forward Pass
Activity on Node Diagram
Activity on Arrow Diagram
22. An activity in a network diagram that does not have any time associated with it. Only included to show relationship and is usually dotted or dashed line.
Negative Float
