An activity has an early start (ES) of day 3, a late start (LS) of day 13, an early finish (EF) of day

9, and a late finish (LF) of day 19. The activity: Answer A. is on the critical path. B. has a lag. C. is progressing well. D. is not on the critical path. What are the best uses of PERT: A project manager would like to manage his project in such a way that he will be able to identify specific tasks that should be watched and managed more closely than others. The project manager should use which method? Lag means: Resource leveling will generally: Rearranging resources so that a constant number of resources is used each month is called: The precedence diagramming method (activity-on-node) is different from the arrow diagramming method (activity-on-arrow) because a precedence diagram: The program evaluation and review technique (PERT) method of scheduling differs from the critical path method (CPM) because the PERT method: Match the follow phase with the correct planning functions.

During the schedule development process the Project Manager may have to go through several iterations of the schedule before establishing the schedule baseline. All of the following are tools and techniques that may be used during this process:

1 An activity has an early start (ES) of day 3, a late start (LS) of day 13, an early finish (EF) of day g, and a late finish (LF) of day ig. The activity: A. is on the critical path. B. has a lag. C. is progressing well. D. is not on the critical path. Answer: D 2 What are the best uses of PERT: A. Used in the planning phase to do " what if for the project. B. Assist in the controlling of changes to the project. C. Is used in the process of preparing a WBS for the project. D. To measure future consequences of activities. E. a and d. Answer: E 3 A project manager would like to manage his project in such a way that he will be able to identify specific tasks that should be watched and managed more closely than others. The project manager should use which method? A. The PERT method B. The critical path method C. The GERT method D. The PCDM method Answer: B 4 Lag means: A. the amount of time an activity can be delayed without delaying the project finish date. B. the amount of time an activity can be delayed without delaying the early start date of its successor. C. waiting time. D. the product of a forward and backward pass. Answer: C

5 Resource leveling will generally: A. Reduce the time needed to do the project. B. Increase the total time necessary to do all the tasks. C. Reduce the overutilization of resources. D. Reduce resources to the lowest skill that is possible. Answer: C 6 Rearranging resources so that a constant number of resources is used each month is called: A. crashing. B. floating. C. leveling. D. fast tracking. Answer: C 7 The precedence diagramming method (activity-on-node) is different from the arrow diagramming method (activity-on-arrow) because a precedence diagram: A. can use PERT. B. has four relationships among activities. C. has only finish-to-finish relationships. D. may use dummy activities. Answer: B 8 The program evaluation and review technique (PERT) method of scheduling differs from the critical path method (CPM) because the PERT method: A. Uses weighted averages of activity durations to calculate project duration. B. Uses ..dummy.. activities to represent logic ties. C. Uses ..free float.. instead of ..total float.. in the schedule calculations. D. Uses bar charts instead of logic diagrams to portray the schedule. Answer: A
