During a project review meeting, you discover that your $250,000 project has a negative schedule variance of $20,000 which equates to 12% of the work scheduled to this point of time. You can therefore conclude that:

A . The project will be completed late.

B . The critical path has been lengthened.

C . the costs are being overrun.

D . Overtime will be required to maintain the original critical path.

E . None of the above.

Standard deviation of project completion is _____ .

A a relationship of the uncertainty of critical path activities.

B an indicator of project end date target confidence

C a function of critical path, leveling and project costs.

D A and B

E All of the above.

88 A non-critical path activity is completed in half the time. Then,

A. The critical path is also reduced.

B. The slack in the path containing this activity will increase.

C. The total cost for this activity has decreased.

D. Manpower from this activity can be assigned to other activities.

E. All of the above

181 The critical path in a schedule network is the path that:

A. Takes the longest time to complete

B. Must be done before any other tasks

C. Allows some flexibility in scheduling a start time.

D. Is not affected by schedule slippage

E. All of the above

● The critical path is calculated by

A subtracting the end date of task one from the start date of task two.

B determining which tasks have the least amount of total slack.

C totaling the time for all activities.

D determining the shortest path through the network.

E Determining which tasks have the most slack

● The critical path in a schedule network is the path that:

A Takes the longest time to complete

B Must be done before any other tasks

C Allows some flexibility in scheduling a start time.

D Is not affected by schedule slippage

E All of the above.

● Management has decided to "crash" a project in order to avoid penalty payments for late deliveries. To crash the project, either overtime or additional resources should be assigned to:

A All activities.

B Only those activities with the longest time durations.

C Those activities on the critical path begining with the longest time duration activities.

D Those activities with the greatest degree of risk.

E None of the above.

● A non-critical path activity is completed in half the time. Then,

A The critical path is also reduced.

B The slack in the path containing this activity will increase.

C The total cost for this activity has decreased.

D Manpower from this activity can be assigned to other activities.

E All of the above.

A non-critical path activity is completed in half the time. Then,

A.The critical path is also reduced.

B.The slack in the path containing this activity will increase.

C.The total cost for this activity has decreased.

D.Manpower from this activity can be assigned to other activities.

E.All of the above.

112 Using the data shown in the Special window, Activities P, Q, and T are critical path activities. In order to shorten the time duration of the project, which activity should be "crashed" first?

A. P

B. Q

C. R

D. S

E. T

● Which of the following impacts the critical path?

A Changing the task duration.

B Reduce the free float of an activity.

C Executing a backward pass

D A or B

E None of the above.

● Increasing resources on the critical path activities may not always shorten the length of the project because:

A Certain activities are time-dependent rather than resource-dependent (i.e., using three ovens rather than one to bake a cake).

B Safety, OSHA and EPA may have placed restrictions on the number of people used on certain activities or in the physical location of the project.

C The skill level of the added resources might not be appropriate for the activities to be performed.

D Adding more resources may create additional work and produce inefficiencies (i.e., additional people may need training and supervision.)

E All of the above.

● Bar charts are most appropriate for:

A Comparing actual to planned performance to each activity.

B Showing slack time.

C Showing critical path dependencies.

D Showing which activities can be rearranged in parallel.

E All of the above.
