Exam 12: Project Management

For activities on a project's critical path

The ___ is a document that provides a common understanding,justification,and expected result for a project.

The earliest start time for an activity is at time zero.

Which of the following is not a basic element in a project plan?

Using Table 9.2,the critical path for the project consists of activities

A project consists of the following activities: Table 9.1 Using Table 9.1,the earliest finish (EF)time for activity D is

Using Table 9.3,the amount of slack associated with activity C is

Project scheduling is recognized as the most critical element in the project management process.

Project control involves monitoring a project and measuring its progress toward a successful completion.

The estimated mean time for an activity with a most likely time (m)equal to 12 weeks,an optimistic time (a)equal to 9 weeks,and a pessimistic time (b)equal to 18 weeks is

The upper level of a work breakdown structure for a project highlights summary activities and/or major components.

The ___ probability distribution is typically used to describe uncertain activity times in a project.

Using Table 9.1,the time complete the entire project is

Using Table 9.3,the critical path for this project is

Using Table 9.1,the earliest start time for activity F is

The estimated variance for an activity with a most likely time (m)equal to 12 weeks,an optimistic time (a)equal to 9 weeks,and a pessimistic time (b)equal to 18 weeks is

Unlike PERT,CPM incorporates probabilistic time estimates into the project management process.

Using Table 9.3,the earliest start (ES)time for activity B is

Using Table 9.3,the time to complete the entire project would be

A project team is typically cross-functional consisting of members throughout an organization.
