Exam 5: Developing the Schedule

The facilitator for the Scrum development process during a sprint whose primary job is to take actions to remove or reduce any obstacles, barriers, or constraints that are impeding progress of the development team toward accomplishing their work tasks and that may negatively impact the successful production and demonstration of a deliverable working product increment by the end of the sprint time is the

If the planned corrective actions do not result in an acceptable schedule, then

The total completion time is 25 days.Task A is planned to take seven days.Task B is planned to take five days.Task C is planned to take eight days.The tasks have a serial relationship.Task A takes nine days to be completed instead of seven days.How much slack does the project have now that Task A is finished?

Having the person who will be responsible for performing a specific activity estimate the duration for that activity from that person and that may be introduced by having one person estimate the durations for all of the activities.

Padding estimates with the vision of becoming a hero when the activities are completed in less time than estimated is not a good practice.

Playing the game of inflating estimated durations in anticipation of the project manager negotiating shorter durations is a good practice.

A change in the estimated duration of any activity on that path will cause a corresponding change in the slack for that path.

In order to establish a basis from which to calculate a schedule using the estimated durations for the activities, it is necessary to

The estimated duration for an activity must be based on the estimated quantity of resources required to perform the activity.

Calculate the earliest finish for Task D if one of its predecessors, Task A, finishes on day 3, its other predecessor, Task C, finishes on day 4, and the duration of Task D is 2 days.

Once this baseline plan is agreed upon by the customer and the contractor or project team, the project work can be performed.

With respect to the project schedule, changes can result in any of the following except

Total slack is calculated for each of the activities by finding the difference between

Project management is a proactive approach to controlling a project to ensure that the project objective is accomplished, even when things do not go according to plan.

At the beginning of every project, it is possible to estimate the durations for all activities with a high level of confidence regarding their accuracy.

Describe the agile project management for a project where a Scrum master is facilitating the Scrum development process for a software development project.Include a description of the six steps in the agile project management process.

If the total slack is zero, the activities on the path do not need to be accelerated but cannot be delayed.

It is important to know what types of resources are available, in what quantities, and during what time periods to determine

Total Slack is sometimes called

The total completion time is 25 days.Task A is planned to take seven days.Task B is planned to take five days.Task C is planned to take eight days.The tasks have a serial relationship.How much slack does the project have?
