Exam 8: Scheduling Resources and Costs

When resource constraints are added to technical constraints the original project network may change as well as the completion date.

Regina's boss has told her that her project is very important.If the critical path is delayed,she will be given whatever she needs to get it back on schedule.Her project is classified as ________ constrained.

If a project needs one earth mover six months from now in order to complete one activity,and the organization has four such machines,there is no equipment resource constraint.

When the work in an activity is interrupted to work on another activity and is then resumed at a later point in time,it is called _________.

In reviewing the status of her project with top management,Shirley was told that there are only two programmers that she can use for her project.Her project is classified as __________ constrained.

Why is it important to make efforts to identify resource scheduling problems before the project is implemented?

The level of resources each activity will need to be completed in the given amount of time has been estimated;therefore,there are no resource constraints.

The shortage of computer chips to produce a circuit board is an example of a(n)________ type of resource constraint.

Beth has two engineers assigned to her project and does not have access to more even if the result means extending the completion date on her project.She is managing a(n)________ -constrained project.

Technical constraints have been carefully considered when developing a project network.Which of the following is true at this point?

When classifying projects,________ constrained means that project duration is fixed and resources are flexible.

Which of the following is NOT a potential consequence of failing to identify limited resources before project implementation?

Jan is trying to reallocate resources in a time-constrained project to create smoother resource utilization.She should first identify activities with the

In order that the new product is on the shelf for the Christmas buying season,the development of the new product would be classified as a(n)________ -constrained project.

In reality resource allocation generally occurs in a(n)___________ environment where the demands of one project have to be reconciled with the needs of other projects.

When a company will reduce the number of projects they have to manage internally to only core projects and send noncritical projects to contractors and consulting firms this is called

In a resource-constrained project,which of the following is most likely to be changed?

Since resource leveling or smoothing delays noncritical activities,a common result is an increase in network ___________.

The fact that you must pour foundation before you frame the house and that you have to frame the house before you can put on the roof demonstrates scheduling constraints.

Sequential activities hold just as much potential for resource conflicts as parallel activities.
