Exam 6: Project Time Management

It only takes one activity to complete a milestone.

Outputs from ____ include work performance measurements,organizational process assets updates,change requests,project management plan updates,and project document updates.

____ use(s)probabilistic time estimates-duration estimates based on using optimistic,most likely,and pessimistic estimates of activity durations-instead of one specific or discrete duration estimate.

By using the PERT weighted average for each activity duration estimate,the total project duration estimate does not account for the risk or uncertainty in the individual activity estimates.

Duration only includes the actual amount of time worked on an activity.

The goal of ____ is to know the status of the schedule,influence the factors that cause schedule changes,determine that the schedule has changed,and manage changes when they occur.

____ involves identifying and documenting the relationships between project activities.

Even though the delivery of new hardware may not be in the scope of a project,you should add an external dependency to it if required project activities depend on that delivery.

____ is the amount of time an activity can be delayed from its early start without delaying the planned project finish date.

After defining project activities,the next step in project time management is sequencing them or determining their dependencies.

In a ____ relationship,the "from" activity cannot start until the "to" activity is started.

Network diagrams are the preferred technique for showing activity discretionary dependencies.

What is the Theory of Constraints? What is Critical Chain Scheduling?

Most managers are unfamiliar with any forms of scheduling.

Many information technology projects are failures in terms of meeting scope,time,and cost projections.

A(n)____________________ for a project is the series of activities that determine the earliest time by which the project can be completed.

One of PERT's main disadvantages is that it involves more work than CPM.

____ involves estimating the number of work periods that are needed to complete individual activities.

A(n)____________________ Gantt chart compares planned and actual project schedule information.

The main outputs of the ____ process are an activity list,activity attributes,and milestone list.
