Project champions are people who promote and support projects. |
|
| | A) | True |
| | B) | False |
|
2 | |
There can be two or more parallel critical paths, all having exactly the same completion time. |
|
| | A) | True |
| | B) | False |
|
3 | |
The term "work breakdown structure" refers to a failure in the work structure. |
|
| | A) | True |
| | B) | False |
|
4 | |
In crashing it may be necessary to shorten activities not on the critical path in order to accelerate the project. |
|
| | A) | True |
| | B) | False |
|

In PERT, if the scheduled project completion time and sum of the average completion times for critical path activities are the same, the probability of completing the project on schedule is estimated at 50 percent, assuming no other paths are near-critical. |
|
| | A) | True |
| | B) | False |
|
6 | |
Early in a project's life cycle, risk occurrence has a high probability but a low cost. |
|
| | A) | True |
| | B) | False |
|
7 | |
Projects go through a life cycle that involves introduction, growth, maturity and decline. |
|
| | A) | True |
| | B) | False |

A major limitation of Gantt charts in project management is that they do not: |
|
| | A) | indicate the major activities involveshow activity times. |
| | B) | show the timing of activities. |
| | C) | show precedence relationships. |
| | D) | give a visual portrayal. |
|

Using the computing algorithm, activity slack can be computed as: |
|
| | A) | LF - LS |
| | B) | LS - LF |
| | C) | LS - ES |
| | D) | LF - EF |
| | E) | c or E |
|

An important assumption in PERT calculations is: |
|
| | A) | activity times are normally distributeactivity times are independent. |
| | B) | a computer will be available to do the calculations. |
| | C) | alternate activities are available for every element |
| | D) | early start times must equal early complete times |
|
11 | |
Concerning PERT and CPM: |
|
| | A) | These are two different names for essentially the same techniquCPM tends to focus more on the critical path while PERT computes the minimum slack times. |
| | B) | PERT gives a clearer indication of activity slack, while CPM gives a better picture of path slack. |
| | C) | Because of its recent discovery, much less is known about CPM than PERT. |
| | D) | All of the above are true |
