PMI Project Management Vocab

Instructions:
  • Answer 50 questions in 15 minutes.
  • If you are not ready to take this test, you can study here.
  • 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 hierarchical representation of risks that is organized according to risk categories.






2. An intentional activity that ensures the future performance of the project work is aligned with the project management plan.






3. A set of conditions that is required to be met before deliverables are accepted.






4. A response to a threat that has occurred - for which a prior response had not been planned or was not effective.






5. The expected cost to finish all the remaining project work.






6. An output of a schedule model that presents linked activities with planned dates - durations - milestones - and resources.






7. The amount of budget deficit or surplus at a given point in time - expressed as the difference between the earned value and the actual cost.






8. A risk response strategy whereby the project team acts to reduce the probability of occurrence or impact of a risk.






9. A dependency between two activities - or between an activity and a milestone.






10. An estimate of the most probable activity duration that takes into account all of the known variables that could affect performance.






11. The measure of work performed expressed in terms of the budget authorized for that work.






12. An event or situation that indicates that a risk is about to occur.






13. The series of phases that represent the evolution of a product - from concept through delivery - growth - maturity - and to retirement.






14. The realized cost incurred for the work performed on an activity during a specific time period.






15. A point in time when the status of the project is recorded.






16. The amount of time whereby a successor activity is required to be delayed with respect to a predecessor activity.






17. In the critical path method - the earliest possible point in time when the uncompleted portions of a schedule activity can start based on the schedule network logic - the data date - and any schedule constraints.






18. A critical path method technique for calculating the late start and late finish dates by working backward through the schedule model from the project end date.






19. A hierarchical representation of resources by category and type.






20. A factor in the planning process that is considered to be true - real - or certain - without proof or demonstration.






21. A grid that links product requirements from their origin to the deliverables that satisfy them.






22. The description of the project scope - major deliverables - assumptions - and constraints.






23. A management structure that standardizes the project-related governance processes and facilitates the sharing of resources - methodologies - tools - and techniques.






24. The expected total cost of completing all work expressed as the sum of the actual cost to date and the estimate to complete.






25. A dependent activity that logically comes after another activity in a schedule.






26. The approved version of a work product that can be changed only through formal change control procedures and is used as a basis for comparison.






27. In the critical path method - the earliest possible point in time when the uncompleted portions of a schedule activity can finish based on the schedule network logic - the data date - and any schedule constraints.






28. A set of procedures that describes how modifications to the project deliverables and documentation are managed and controlled.






29. A calendar that identifies the working days and shifts upon which each specific resource is available.






30. The amount of time whereby a successor activity can be advanced with respect to a predecessor activity.






31. An activity where effort is allotted proportionately across certain discrete efforts and not divisible into discrete efforts. (Note: Apportioned effort is one of three earned value management [EVM] types of activities used to measure work performance






32. A diagramming and calculation technique for evaluating the implications of a chain of multiple options in the presence of uncertainty.






33. An estimate of the longest activity duration - which takes into account all of the known variables that could affect performance.






34. Any activity on the critical path in a project schedule.






35. The amount of time that a schedule activity can be delayed without delaying the early start date of any successor or violating a schedule constraint.






36. Conditions - not under the immediate control of the team - that influence - constrain - or direct the project - program - or portfolio.






37. A review at the end of a phase in which a decision is made to continue to the next phase - to continue with modification - or to end a project or program.






38. A person or group who provides resources and support for the project - program - or portfolio - and is accountable for enabling success.






39. A technique for determining the cause and degree of difference between the baseline and actual performance.






40. A component of the project or program management plan that establishes the activities for developing - monitoring - and controlling the project or program.






41. A management control point where scope - budget - actual cost - and schedule are integrated and compared to earned value for performance measurement.






42. A bar chart of schedule information where activities are listed on the vertical axis - dates are shown on the horizontal axis - and activity durations are shown as horizontal bars placed according to start and finish dates.






43. A significant point or event in a project - program - or portfolio.






44. A limiting factor that affects the execution of a project - program - portfolio - or process.






45. A process whereby modifications to documents - deliverables - or baselines associated with the project are identified - documented - approved - or rejected.






46. A measure of schedule efficiency expressed as the ratio of earned value to planned value.






47. The series of phases that a project passes through from its initiation to its closure.






48. The knowledge gained during a project which shows how project events were addressed or should be addressed in the future for the purpose of improving future performance






49. A logical relationship in which a successor activity cannot start until a predecessor activity has started.






50. A component of a project or program management plan that describes how costs will be planned - structured - and controlled.
