Question 1

When developing project networks, which of the following is not a reason for delineating technical dependencies first before doing resource dependencies?

Accepted Answer

A)  The interrelationships and interactions among time and resource constraints are complex for even small project networks. 
B)  Resource availability may not be known until the initial schedule is completed. 
C)  Even if resources are known, one cannot assess the impact of limited resources until a resource-neutral schedule is created. 
D)  An effort to examine the interactions between technical / logical constraints and resource limitations frequently uncovers surprising problems. 
E)  All of these alternatives are reasons for delineating technical dependencies first before doing resource dependencies.

Question 2

After constructing a project network based on technical constraints and reviewing resource requirements throughout the project, a project manager realizes many peaks and valleys in regard to resource usage.
