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. A schedule buffer used to reduce schedule risk.
Backward Pass
Mathematical Analysis
Reserve Time (Contingency)
Network Diagram
2. Or free slack--how much time an activity can be delayed without affecting the early start date of subsequent dependent activities.
Monte Carlo Analysis
Heuristics
Variance Analysis
Free Float
3. Method of diagramming project activities to show sequence and dependencies.
Precedence Diagramming Method
Milestones
Backward Pass
Network Diagram
4. 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.
Expert Judgment
Schedule Baseline
Forward Pass
Analogous Estimating
5. 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."
Free Float
Delphi Technique
Analogous Estimating
Schedule Baseline
6. Probable number of periods this activity should take with the probable range of results (1 week +/- 3 days)
Activity Duration Estimates
Dummy Activity
Network Diagram
Variance Analysis
7. Method of estimated where experts are asked to provide input to the schedule.
Delphi Technique
Expert Judgment
Dependencies
Lead
8. 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.
Dependencies
Milestones
Float
Dummy Activity
9. Method for calculating late start and late finish dates for an activity.
Activity on Arrow Diagram
Schedule Baseline
Dummy Activity
Backward Pass
10. A technique to show scheduling possibilities where early and late start and finish dates are calculated for every activity without looking at resource estimates.
Expert Judgment
Dependencies
Mathematical Analysis
Activity List
11. 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.
Activity List
Backward Pass
Crashing
Lead
12. List of every activity that will be performed on the project.
Activity List
Milestones
Activity on Arrow Diagram
Heuristics
13. The approved schedule that is used as a basis for measuring and reporting. It includes the original project schedule plus all approved updates.
Slack
Lag
Schedule Baseline
Network Diagram
14. A type of network diagram where activities are represented on rectangular nodes with arrows representing the dependencies.
Slack
Activity List
Backward Pass
Activity on Node Diagram
15. Final result is an activity list (similar to Scope Decomposition where the result is a WBS)
Delphi Technique
Activity Decomposition
Forward Pass
Milestones
16. Perform activities in parallel that normally are done in sequence; increases risk
Fast Tracking
Critical Path
Backward Pass
Negative Float
17. The method for calculating early start and early finish dates for an activity.
Forward Pass
Expert Judgment
Activity List
Activity Duration Estimates
18. Computer simulation that throws a high number of "what if" scenarios at the project schedule to determine probable results.
Monte Carlo Analysis
Duration Compression
Variance Analysis
Backward Pass
19. A technique primarily made up of two means of compressing the schedule: crashing and fast-tracking.
Monte Carlo Analysis
Duration Compression
Mathematical Analysis
Dummy Activity
20. Comparing planned versus actual schedule dates.
