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. Float.
Forward Pass
Slack
Delphi Technique
Critical Path
2. Or free slack--how much time an activity can be delayed without affecting the early start date of subsequent dependent activities.
Free Float
Duration Compression
Activity on Arrow Diagram
Activity List
3. Activities that must be completed before other activities either start or finish (mandatory - discretionary - and external).
Delphi Technique
Dependencies
Precedence Diagramming Method
Variance Analysis
4. The path through the network diagram that show which activities - if delayed - will affect the project finish date.
Slack
Critical Path
Forward Pass
Dummy Activity
5. 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.
Variance Analysis
Dummy Activity
Lead
Milestones
6. Perform activities in parallel that normally are done in sequence; increases risk
Activity Decomposition
Fast Tracking
Mathematical Analysis
Float
7. Comparing planned versus actual schedule dates.
Critical Path
Variance Analysis
Fast Tracking
Backward Pass
8. Applying more resources; increases cost
Variance Analysis
Crashing
Float
Mathematical Analysis
9. A type of network diagram where activities are represented on rectangular nodes with arrows representing the dependencies.
Activity on Node Diagram
Analogous Estimating
Slack
Dependencies
10. 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.
Reserve Time (Contingency)
Backward Pass
Analogous Estimating
Network Diagram
11. A technique primarily made up of two means of compressing the schedule: crashing and fast-tracking.
Duration Compression
Free Float
Float
Forward Pass
12. Method of estimated where experts are asked to provide input to the schedule.
Fast Tracking
Mathematical Analysis
Activity on Node Diagram
Expert Judgment
13. A type of network diagram where the boxes are activities - and the arrows are used to show dependencies between the activities.
Monte Carlo Analysis
Precedence Diagramming Method
Duration Compression
Forward Pass
14. List of every activity that will be performed on the project.
Backward Pass
Forward Pass
Duration Compression
Activity List
15. Method of diagramming project activities to show sequence and dependencies.
Negative Float
Network Diagram
Schedule Baseline
Fast Tracking
16. Rules for which no formula exists; usually derived through trial and error.
Heuristics
Expert Judgment
Schedule Baseline
Float
17. A technique to show scheduling possibilities where early and late start and finish dates are calculated for every activity without looking at resource estimates.
Duration Compression
Mathematical Analysis
Monte Carlo Analysis
Free Float
18. A schedule buffer used to reduce schedule risk.
Reserve Time (Contingency)
Delphi Technique
Float
Crashing
19. Delay between an activity and the subsequent one dependent upon it.
Dependencies
Variance Analysis
Lag
Milestones
20. 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 on Node Diagram
Fast Tracking
21. High-level points in the schedule used to track and report progress.
Network Diagram
Heuristics
Milestones
