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 type of network diagram where the boxes are activities - and the arrows are used to show dependencies between the activities.
Precedence Diagramming Method
Variance Analysis
Delphi Technique
Schedule Baseline
2. Computer simulation that throws a high number of "what if" scenarios at the project schedule to determine probable results.
Activity Decomposition
Analogous Estimating
Monte Carlo Analysis
Fast Tracking
3. Final result is an activity list (similar to Scope Decomposition where the result is a WBS)
Activity on Node Diagram
Mathematical Analysis

Float
4. 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
Lag

Slack
5. A technique primarily made up of two means of compressing the schedule: crashing and fast-tracking.

16. 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.
Analogous Estimating
Expert Judgment
Dummy Activity
Activity Duration Estimates
17. 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."

Lag
Dependencies
Activity Decomposition
21. A technique to show scheduling possibilities where early and late start and finish dates are calculated for every activity without looking at resource estimates.

26. A situation that occurs when an activity's start date comes before a preceding activity's finish date.
Duration Compression
Analogous Estimating
Free Float
Negative Float
27. 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.
