Question 1

Resource bottlenecks are one of the three more common problems encountered in managing multiproject resource schedules.

Accepted Answer

A) True 
 B)False  True

Question 2

A(n)________ constraint addresses the sequence in which project activities must occur even after considering resource constraints.

Accepted Answer

technical or logic
Explanation: The start and sequence of activities have been based solely on technical or logical considerations.For example, a project network for framing a house might show three activities in a sequence: 
(1)pour foundation, (2)build frame, and (3)cover roof.Resource constraints do not violate technical constraints.

Question 3

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

Accepted Answer

materials
Explanation: Material availability and shortages have been blamed for the delay of many projects.When it is known that a lack of availability of materials is important and probable, materials should be included in the project network plan and schedule.

Accepted Answer

least
Explanation: In resource-constrain

Question 5

When scheduling activities in a resource-constrained project typically the activity scheduled first has the most amount of slack.

Accepted Answer

A) True 
 B)False

Accepted Answer

A) We are spending less than we should for the project. 
B) We are doing a good job managing the project. 
C) We should check to see if all the bills have been paid. 
D) We have more money to put into budget reserves.

Accepted Answer

heuristics or rules of thumb
