Pregunta 3
Pregunta
A comprehensive statement of work includes an estimate of time and costs, resource requirements, and the scope of the work to be performed.
Pregunta 4
Pregunta
Until a project has gone through work breakdown structure, it is impossible to determine the relationships among the constituent activities.
Pregunta 5

Pregunta 6
Pregunta
A work package may be composed of one or more subdeliverables.
Pregunta 7
Pregunta
A work package may consist of more than one milestone.
Pregunta 8
Pregunta

Pregunta 9
Pregunta
The terms lump-sum contract and turnkey contract are interchangeable.
Pregunta 10
Pregunta
A lump-sum contract requires the customer to pay for the full delivered price of the project before any work is done.
Pregunta 11
Pregunta
Team building and conflict management skills are two of the most important people skills that project managers can cultivate.
Pregunta 12
Pregunta
The first step in assembling a project team is to talk to potential team members.
Pregunta 13
Pregunta
If preferred project team members are not available, the project manager should notify top management of the consequences.
Pregunta 14
Pregunta
Project managers are best able to promote a sense of enthusiasm within the project team when they create an environment that is challenging, supportive, and personally rewarding.
Pregunta 15
Pregunta
High turnover among project team members is a key element of success since new team members will bring fresh perspectives and ideas to the group.
Pregunta 16
Pregunta
Project team productivity is at its peak during the norming phase of group development.
Pregunta 17
Pregunta
The punctuated equilibrium model suggests that groups spend the majority of their time in stasis.
Pregunta 18
Pregunta
Cross-functional cooperation directly influences both the actual implementation of the project and the team members' assessment that the project experience was worthwhile.
Pregunta 19
Pregunta
In general, a superordinate goal is a replacement goal for the goals of all functional groups involved in the project.
Pregunta 20
Pregunta
Accessibility is the perception of the project team members that they are physically located in such a way that it is easy for them to interact.
Pregunta 21
Pregunta
The risk is highest in the earliest phase of the project life cycle.
Pregunta 22
Pregunta
Opportunity emerges from favorable project circumstances and risk from unfavorable events.
Pregunta 23
Pregunta
As risk decreases in the project life cycle, opportunity increases
Pregunta 24
Pregunta
Risks can be quantified by multiplying the likelihood a failure will occur by the severity of the failure.
Pregunta 25
Pregunta
Technical risk is the probability that the project will not perform to the required standards or produce substandard products or have excessive operating cost consumption.
Pregunta 26
Pregunta
The probability that the investments made to fund the front-end activities will be lost due to project abandonment is financing risk.
Pregunta 27
Pregunta
One approach to risk mitigation is simply to accept it.
Pregunta 28
Pregunta
Risk cannot be transferred because ultimately your own project will suffer the consequences if the event occurs.
Pregunta 29
Pregunta
Contingency reserves require a construction company to hold back some funds in an account just in case something happens that increases the overall project cost.
Pregunta 30
Pregunta
The highest dollar value of reserves is typically task contingency.
Pregunta 31
Pregunta
Direct costs are those clearly assigned to the aspect of the project that generated the cost.
Pregunta 32
Pregunta
Material is an example of a cost that is recurring, variable and direct.
Pregunta 33
Pregunta
An expedited cost is one that does not vary with respect to their usage.
Pregunta 34
Pregunta
The term expedited cost has the same meaning as crashing cost in the project management milieu.
Pregunta 35
Pregunta
An order of magnitude estimate is usually more accurate than a ballpark estimate.
Pregunta 36
Pregunta
Comparative estimates are more accurate than definitive estimates when applied to the same project.
Pregunta 37
Pregunta
A learning rate of 90% means that for every doubling of output, the time required by the activity falls by 10%.
Pregunta 38
Pregunta
Function point analysis is a system for estimating the size of software projects based on the number of lines of code a typical programmer can write in a day.
Pregunta 39
Pregunta
A common reason for cost overruns in a project is a low initial estimate of project cost.
Pregunta 40
Pregunta
There is a tendency for different departments or functions to compete for scarce resources in a zero-sum game when bottom-up budgeting is used to develop a project budget.
Pregunta 41
Pregunta
Preceding activities are those that must occur before others can be done.
Pregunta 42
Pregunta
A backward pass is performed when it is necessary to undo some work that has been performed in order to complete it properly.
Pregunta 43
Pregunta
A merge activity has two or more immediate predecessors.
Pregunta 44
Pregunta
Float is always measured in exactly the same way as slack.
Pregunta 45
Pregunta
The PERT technique assumes that durations are more deterministic.
Pregunta 46
Pregunta
Burst activities are those with two or more successor activities.
Pregunta 47
Pregunta
You must know the mean of an activity in order to determine its standard deviation.
Pregunta 48
Pregunta
In assigning a value for the most pessimistic (b) duration, the project manager should estimate the duration of the activity to have a 99% likelihood that it will take b or less amount of time.
Pregunta 49
Pregunta
The late start time should be calculated using a forward pass through the network.
Pregunta 50
Pregunta
Negative float exists when a project's critical path has been completed more quickly than anticipated.
