An activity on the critical path has several days of free float.

Shortening an activity is called

The ratio of rise and run of the project crash line describes

A specific task,or set of tasks,that is part of the scope of a project,uses up some of the resources of a project,and requires some finite time to be completed best defines

Multitasking is when a resource is responsible for doing more than one activity at the same time.

A technique to shorten the duration of a project to meet the target dates best describes

Which of the following demands extensive hardware,is used by larger organizations,and may not be ideal for managers working with smaller projects?

Before any successor activity can be initiated in PDM,all the activities that precede that activity have to be completed.

The earliest finish time is the total of the earliest start time and the activity duration.

PDM uses time as a common factor to analyze other project success factors like scope,resources,cost,performance,and value.

When working with project management software,factors that drive the calculation of time include each of the following except

The shortest time in which an activity can be completed best defines
