Questão 9
Questão
The terms lump-sum contract and turnkey contract are interchangeable.

Questão 14
Questão
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.
Questão 15

Project team productivity is at its peak during the norming phase of group development.
Questão 17
Questão
The punctuated equilibrium model suggests that groups spend the majority of their time in stasis.
Questão 18
Questão
Cross-functional cooperation directly influences both the actual implementation of the project and the team members' assessment that the project experience was worthwhile.
Questão 19
Questão
In general, a superordinate goal is a replacement goal for the goals of all functional groups involved in the project.
Questão 20
Questão
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.
Questão 21
Questão
The risk is highest in the earliest phase of the project life cycle.
Questão 22
Questão
Opportunity emerges from favorable project circumstances and risk from unfavorable events.
Questão 23
Questão
As risk decreases in the project life cycle, opportunity increases
Questão 24
Questão
Risks can be quantified by multiplying the likelihood a failure will occur by the severity of the failure.
Questão 25
Questão
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.
Questão 26
Questão
The probability that the investments made to fund the front-end activities will be lost due to project abandonment is financing risk.
Questão 27
Questão
One approach to risk mitigation is simply to accept it.
Questão 28
Questão
Risk cannot be transferred because ultimately your own project will suffer the consequences if the event occurs.
Questão 29
Questão
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.
Questão 30
Questão
The highest dollar value of reserves is typically task contingency.
Questão 31
Questão
Direct costs are those clearly assigned to the aspect of the project that generated the cost.
Questão 32
Questão
Material is an example of a cost that is recurring, variable and direct.
Questão 33
Questão
An expedited cost is one that does not vary with respect to their usage.
Questão 34
Questão
The term expedited cost has the same meaning as crashing cost in the project management milieu.
Questão 35
Questão
An order of magnitude estimate is usually more accurate than a ballpark estimate.
Questão 36
Questão
Comparative estimates are more accurate than definitive estimates when applied to the same project.
Questão 37
Questão
A learning rate of 90% means that for every doubling of output, the time required by the activity falls by 10%.
Questão 38
Questão
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.
Questão 39
Questão
A common reason for cost overruns in a project is a low initial estimate of project cost.
Questão 40
Questão
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.
Questão 41
Questão
Preceding activities are those that must occur before others can be done.
Questão 42
Questão

Questão 43
Questão
A merge activity has two or more immediate predecessors.
Questão 44
Questão
Float is always measured in exactly the same way as slack.
Questão 45
Questão
The PERT technique assumes that durations are more deterministic.
Questão 46
Questão
Burst activities are those with two or more successor activities.
Questão 47
Questão
You must know the mean of an activity in order to determine its standard deviation.
Questão 48
Questão
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.

Questão 50
Questão
