Project Management Tools Quiz

A critical activity has...

Critical path: The path of activities which represent the [blank_start]longest[blank_end] total time required to complete the project. A delay in an activity on the critical path causes a delay in the [blank_start]entire project[blank_end].

Finish to start lag: The minimum amount of time that must pass between the [blank_start]finish[blank_end] of one activity and the [blank_start]start[blank_end] of its successor(s)

The variance in the project completion time can be calculated by [blank_start]summing[blank_end] the variances in the completion times of the activities in the critical path

The normal distribution assumption holds if the number of activities in the path is large enough for the [blank_start]central limit theorem[blank_end] to be applied.

The following times for completion an activity have been estimated. Optimistic time: 4 days Most likely time: 7 days Pessimistic time: 10 days. The variance in the expected time is [blank_start]1[blank_end] days.

When preparing a Work Breakdown Structure, continue to subdivide components until the lowest level component requires between [blank_start]8[blank_end] and [blank_start]80[blank_end] hours of work.

When components of a WBS are defined in sufficient detail for management and planning purposes, they are known as [blank_start]work packages[blank_end].

High level elements in the WBS should match, word for word, nouns used to describe outcomes in the [blank_start]scope statement[blank_end].

The current activity has an Early Start of March 1st and a duration of 3 days. The succeeding activity has an Early Start of March 7th. Assuming everyday is a work day, then the free float is [blank_start]3[blank_end] days.
