Quiz 6

Question 1When completing a forward pass, you carry the early finish to the next activity where it becomes its early start unless the next succeeding activity is a merge activity. In this case you select the smallest early finish number of all its immediate predecessor activities.

Question 2________ activities are to be completed immediately following a particular activity.

Question 3An activity cannot begin until ALL preceding connected activities have been completed.

Question 4Which of the following correctly calculates the late start for an activity?

Question 5Which of the following is true about hammock activities?

Question 6Which of the following will correctly calculate the total slack in an activity?

Question 7________ activities must be completed immediately before a particular activity.

Question 8A merge activity is one that merges with other activities into a succeeding activity.

Question 9Which of the following is provided by both the project network and the work breakdown structure?

Question 10If a project has more than one activity that can begin when the project is to start, a common start node should be used to indicate a clear project beginning on the network. Without a common start node, each path is a

Question 11The critical path is the shortest path through a network and indicates activities that cannot be delayed without delaying the project.

Question 12If a network has more than one critical path but noncritical activities have very little slack, the network is considered to have a high level of sensitivity.

Question 13The likelihood the original critical path(s) will change once the project is initiated is referred to as

Question 14If the project has a duration of 13 days, the project should be completed 13 days from the day it starts.

Question 15An activity that has more than one dependency arrow flowing into it is termed a(n)

Question 16When completing a backward pass, you carry the LS to the next preceding activity to establish the LF, unless the next preceding activity is a burst activity, in which case you select

Question 17The amount of time an activity can be delayed and yet not delay the project is termed

Question 18The backward pass in project network calculations determines all of the following EXCEPT

Question 19Which of the following correctly calculates the early finish for an activity?

Question 20The minimum amount of time a dependent activity must be delayed to begin or end is referred to as

Question 21Lags can be used to constrain the start and finish of an activity.

Question 22Arrows on an activity-on-node (AON) project network represent

Question 23Activities which can take place at the same time are termed

Question 24Experience suggests that when there are multiple starts, a common start node should be used to indicate a clear project beginning on the network. Similarly, a single project end node can be used to indicate a clear ending.

Question 25Gantt charts are popular because they represent an easy-to-understand, clear picture on a time-scaled horizon.
