Question 1
Question 1
Free slack is the amount of time a specific activity can be:
accelerated without delaying the latest finish time of its immediately preceding activities.
accelerated without delaying the latest start time of its immediately succeeding activities.
postponed without delaying the earliest start time of its immediately preceding activities.
postponed without delaying the earliest start time of its immediately succeeding activities.
Question 2
The project control process must occur regularly throughout the project and include all of the following EXCEPT:
gathering data on actual performance.
establishing regular reporting meetings to compare actual to planned progress.
recording information on changes to the project scope, schedule, and budget.
having a single inspection of the project's deliverables at the end of the project.

day 6
day 4
day 3
Cannot be calculated based upon information given.
Question 6
With projects for which there is a high degree of uncertainty about the estimated durations for activities, it is possible to use three time estimates:
an original estimate, a petrified estimate, and a most likely estimate.
an optimized estimate, a primary estimate, and a most likely estimate.
an opportunity estimate, a pragmatic estimate, and a most likely estimate.
an optimistic estimate, a pessimistic estimate, and a most likely estimate.
Question 7
The estimated types and quantities of resources required for an activity, together with the availability of those resources, will influence the:
project scope document description.
estimated duration for how long it will take to perform the activity.
actual costs of work performed.
project's acceptance criteria.
Question 8
The estimated duration for each activity must be the total elapsed time, the time:
for the work to be done plus any associated waiting time.
required for the work times the number of resources assigned to the project.
for the task plus the planning time for the project.
for the task plus the time to review and accept the deliverable.
Question 9
The ES and EF times are determined by calculating forward, that is, by:
Question 10
Latest start time (LS) is the latest time by which a specific activity must be:
Question 11
Throughout the performance of the project, some activities will take longer than their estimated duration, others will be done in less time than their estimated duration, and
Question 12
If an organization or subcontractor has performed similar projects in the past and has kept records of how long specific activities actually took, these historical data:
Question 13
It is important to know what types of resources are available, in what quantities, and during what time periods to determine:
Question 14
With respect to the project schedule, changes can result in any of the following EXCEPT:
Question 15
Total slack is calculated for each of the activities by finding the difference between the:
Question 16
Calculate the latest finish for Task D if one of its successors, Task F, has a latest start on day 9, its other successor, Task E, has a latest start on day 10, and the duration of Task D is 2 days.
day 9
day 10
day 12
Cannot be calculated based upon information given.
Question 17
Latest start time is calculated by:
subtracting the activity's estimated duration from the activity's succeeding activity's latest finish time: LS = LF succeeding activity – Estimated Duration.
adding the activity's estimated duration to the predecessor of the activity's latest start time: LS = LS predecessor + Estimated Duration.
adding the activity's estimated duration to the activity's latest finish time: LS = LF + Estimated Duration.
subtracting the activity's estimated duration from the activity's latest finish time: LS = LF – Estimated Duration.
Question 18
The total completion time is 25 days. Task A is planned to take seven days. Task B is planned to take five days. Task C is planned to take eight days. The tasks have a serial relationship. How much slack does the project have?
Negative 5 days slack
Positive 3 days slack
Positive 17 days slack
Positive 5 days slack
Question 19
The facilitator for the Scrum development process during a sprint whose primary job is to take actions to remove or reduce any obstacles, barriers, or constraints that are impeding progress of the development team toward accomplishing their work tasks and that may negatively impact the successful production and demonstration of a deliverable working product increment by the end of the sprint time is the:
product owner.
scrum master.
project manager.
sprint timer.
Question 20
Calculate the latest start for Task D if one of its successors, Task F, has a latest start on day 9, its other successor, Task E, has a latest start on day 10, and the duration of Task D is 2 days.
day 7
Cannot be calculated based upon information given.
day 12
day 8
Section 2
Question 21
The start of noncritical activities are delayed beyond their earliest start times (but not beyond their latest start times) in order to:
Question 22
At the beginning of the project, it may not be possible to estimate the costs for all activities with a level of confidence regarding their accuracy. This is especially true for:
Question 23
The statement, "Network diagrams illustrate the technical constraints among activities," means the activities are constrained because:
Question 24
When the budgets for all the work packages are summed:
Question 25
Determining the earned value involves collecting data on the percent complete for each work package and then converting this percentage to a dollar amount by multiplying the __________ of the work package by the percent complete.
Question 26
Facilities costs in the project costs estimate are for:
Question 27
A cost is determined for each period, based on when the activities that make up the work package are scheduled to be performed, to create:
Question 28
The __________ is the time-phased baseline budget that will be used to analyze the cost performance of the project.
Question 29
Resource utilization charts based on each activity's earliest start time are said to be based:
Question 30
Allocating total project costs for the various elements to the appropriate work packages will establish:
Question 31
The project cost estimate is allocated to the:

The __________ is the amount that was budgeted to accomplish the work that was scheduled to be performed up to that point in time.
Question 33
Why are activities drawn in a serial relationship in a network diagram?

Question 35
The total project cost is often estimated during the __________ phase of the project or when the project charter or a proposal is prepared.
planning
performing
initiating
closing
Question 36
It may be easier to estimate the costs for __________, but as the project progresses, the project team can progressively elaborate the estimated costs as more information is known or becomes clear to allow for more accurate estimated costs.
