Question 1Choose one

True or False: In Rolling Wave Planning, work to be performed in the near term is planned in detail, while work in the future is planned at a higher level of the WBS.

Question 2Choose one

A project manager is determining the appropriate level of accuracy for activity duration estimates during the initiation phase. Which of the following ranges typically represents a Rough Order of Magnitude (ROM) estimate?

Question 3Choose 2

You are decomposing the project scope to create the schedule. Which TWO items are primary outputs of the 'Define Activities' process? (Select TWO)

Question 4Choose one

An organization requires that all schedule variances exceeding 10% be reported to the steering committee. In which document should this threshold be explicitly defined?

Question 5Choose one

A scheduler is advising a project team on setting up their schedule model. The project involves high uncertainty and evolving requirements. Which scheduling approach would allow for high-level planning of the overall timeline while detailing only the immediate iteration?

Question 6Choose one

Consider the following network diagram logic: Activity A (5 days) -> Activity B (4 days) Activity A (5 days) -> Activity C (6 days) Activity B (4 days) -> Activity D (5 days) Activity C (6 days) -> Activity D (5 days) What is the Free Float of Activity B?

Question 7Choose one

When defining activities for a new software module, the team identifies a 'Finish-to-Start' relationship between 'Code Module' and 'Test Module'. However, the testing team states they can begin testing the initial components 2 days before coding is fully complete. Which dependency modification best represents this scenario?

Question 8Choose one

You are using the Three-Point Estimating (Beta/PERT) technique. An activity has an Optimistic estimate of 4 days, a Most Likely estimate of 7 days, and a Pessimistic estimate of 16 days. What is the expected duration?

Question 9Choose one

A project manager applies Resource Leveling to a schedule where a key specialist is over-allocated. What is the most likely consequence of this action on the project schedule?

Question 10Choose one

Case Study Scenario: A construction company is building a new data center. The project has a fixed completion date of December 31st. Currently, the project is on track, but a critical component delivery has been delayed by 2 weeks. The project manager reviews the schedule and notes the following: - Activity A (Foundation) is complete. - Activity B (Framework) is on the critical path and has 0 float. - Activity C (Wiring) has 5 days of Total Float. - Activity D (HVAC) has 10 days of Free Float. The manager decides to perform 'Crashing' on Activity B. What is the primary implication of this decision?
