A. Sequence Activities
B. Define Activities
C. Develop Schedule
D. Estimate Activity Durations
Question 2 • A project you are working on has received
duration estimates from the engineering department. Which is your next best action?

A. Determine what resources are needed
and revise activity resource estimates
B. Schedule the activity
C. Analyze the estimates using PERT
or comparable technique
D. Communicate the estimates to the
customer and acquire formal acceptance
Question 3 • You have learned that two technical architects have
been rolled off another project, and you can use them for your project. You must figure out the best use of these scarce resources. What is your best action?

A. Network with functional managers to acquire the team members for the length of the project
B. Place the resources on activities with free float to give them time to learn the project objectives and work required
C. Allocate the resources to critical path activities first
D. File proper change control forms to acquire the resources
Question 4
• The schedule compression technique includes fast tracking and crashing. The main purpose of applying the schedule compression technique is to:

A. Shorten the schedule without increasing the risk
B. Shorten the schedule by changing the Critical Path work
packages
C. Shorten the schedule without
increasing the cost
D. Shorten the schedule without
changing the Scope
Question 5
• Activity, ‘UAT,’ has an early start (ES) of day 6, a late start (LS) of day 10, an early finish (EF) on day 12, and a late finish (LF) on day 16. Based on this information, which of the following statements accurately describes activity ‘UAT’ in the Network Diagram?

A. Three-Point Estimate
B. Critical Path Method
C. Precedence Diagramming
Technique

A. Project Calendar B. Schedule
Network Diagrams
C. Project Schedule D. Time
Management Plan
Question 8 • The Ethical Committee meeting is scheduled for Friday.
As of today, Tuesday, Activity ACT is 45 days into its 50 day scheduled duration time. Activity EC is the next scheduled activity on the schedule. ACT and EC have a finish to start dependency. EC has a scheduled duration of 3 days. When is the earliest your team can start on Activity EC?

A. After the Ethical Committee meeting
B. Thursday
C. Day 48
D. Today: Tuesday
Question 9 • The project is 4 months into production. Market
conditions require different materials to be used. This approved change requires more preparation steps prior to application. How does this affect the project’s WBS?
©2010 Neal Rowland 11
A. No changes are needed, the steps are added to the project schedule
B. Planning is complete, the steps are added during execution
C. Work packages are altered or added to the WBS
D. The changes are noted in the Configuration Management System, the Scope Baseline remains unchanged
Question 10
• The Project Scope has been clearly defined, and the Project Team has decided to use the activity list and WBS to estimate the project cost/duration. This approach is called?

A. Bottom-up Estimation
B. Top-down Estimation
C. Analogous Estimation
D. Expert Judgment
