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. Or free slack--how much time an activity can be delayed without affecting the early start date of subsequent dependent activities.
Slack
Free Float
Activity Duration Estimates
Activity on Arrow Diagram
2. List of every activity that will be performed on the project.
Lag
Lead
Activity List
Mathematical Analysis
3. Comparing planned versus actual schedule dates.
Heuristics
Float
Fast Tracking
Variance Analysis
4. Delay between an activity and the subsequent one dependent upon it.
Lag
Free Float
Crashing
Monte Carlo Analysis
5. 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.

8. A technique to show scheduling possibilities where early and late start and finish dates are calculated for every activity without looking at resource estimates.
Delphi Technique
Slack
Lag
Mathematical Analysis
9. A rarely used type of network diagram where activities are represented by arrows connecting the nodes.

Expert Judgment
Reserve Time (Contingency)
Duration Compression
10. The path through the network diagram that show which activities - if delayed - will affect the project finish date.
Activity List

Critical Path
Duration Compression
11. A situation that occurs when an activity's start date comes before a preceding activity's finish date.
Negative Float
Critical Path
Activity Decomposition
Backward Pass
12. Method of diagramming project activities to show sequence and dependencies.
Activity on Node Diagram
Network Diagram
Dependencies
Dummy Activity
13. Method for calculating late start and late finish dates for an activity.

14. The approved schedule that is used as a basis for measuring and reporting. It includes the original project schedule plus all approved updates.
Dummy Activity
Negative Float
Variance Analysis
Schedule Baseline
15. How much time an activity can be delayed without affecting the project's finish date.
Lag
Network Diagram
Float
Schedule Baseline
16. 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.
Dummy Activity
Slack
Dependencies
Negative Float
17. The method for calculating early start and early finish dates for an activity.
Dependencies
Negative Float
Fast Tracking
Forward Pass
18. Activities that must be completed before other activities either start or finish (mandatory - discretionary - and external).

20. A type of network diagram where the boxes are activities - and the arrows are used to show dependencies between the activities.
Lead
Delphi Technique
Reserve Time (Contingency)
