Exam 5: Scheduling the Project

A Gantt chart can NOT depict a critical path,only a PERT/CPM chart can.

A start-to-finish linkage is the most common way of linking to successive task.

An event is a series of connected activities.

A project schedule is a project action plan converted into a timetable.

Technical dependencies are often harder to see on a Gantt chart than on a PERT/CPM network.

Which of the following is NOT an element of the Gantt chart?

.Milestones are not depended upon the predecessor activities in the project plan.

Which of the following linkages is used to start two or more activities at the same time?

Slack is calculated as?

A big advantage of AON networks is that they are easier to draw.

The difference between LFT and EFT is called slack.

AON and AOA networks can both be used to depict any project network.

"Merger" is a term used to describe the situation in which two or more paths in a network join together.

The actual project duration will be known with certainty after the project is completed.

The simulation approach is generally preferred over the statistical method.

The start-to-finish linkage is used in situations where is it desirable for two or more activities to finish at the same time.

If task duration estimates are carefully made,the project manager needs to only examine the critical path when conducting a risk analysis.

Technical dependencies are generally easier to see on a Gantt chart than on PERT/CPM networks.

The shortest time to complete a network is equal to the duration of the longest path through the network.

Which of the following terms is most closely associated with a task required by the project?
