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. Final result is an activity list (similar to Scope Decomposition where the result is a WBS)
Analogous Estimating
Negative Float
Activity on Node Diagram
Activity Decomposition
2. Delay between an activity and the subsequent one dependent upon it.
Fast Tracking

Activity on Arrow Diagram
Activity Decomposition
3. A technique to show scheduling possibilities where early and late start and finish dates are calculated for every activity without looking at resource estimates.

4. List of every activity that will be performed on the project.

5. Probable number of periods this activity should take with the probable range of results (1 week +/- 3 days)
Monte Carlo Analysis

6. 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.
