QUESTION: 6

Examine the figure given below:

If Activity B takes eight days to complete instead of five days as schedule, how long can you now delay Activity H?

Three days
One day
Four days
Zero days

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

Activity B is not on the critical path and it has a total of four days of float. If Activity B takes a total of eight days, it will consume three days of float. However, the total duration of the path ABEHJ may not exceed 26 days, as this is the total duration for the project. Although Activity H has a total of four days of float available, the consumption of three days of float on this path will reduce the total float for Activity H to just one day. If Activity H is delayed by more than one day, then the project will be late.
Answer option D is incorrect. There is one day of float still available for Activity H. Answer options A and C are incorrect. These are not the valid answers, as there is just one day of float available for Activity H.

QUESTION: 7

You are the project manager of the GHT Project. Ben, one of your project team members, does not understand the idea of a milestone.
Which of the following best describes what a milestone is?

A significant point in the project
A goal of reaching a significant delivery of project benefits by an identified date
An imposed date for the project to reach a given point
The completion of a project activity that is crucial to project completion

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

A milestone is simply a significant point or event in the project. It does not have to be assigned to a specific date, but is usually assigned to the completion of project phases. A milestone is the end of a stage that marks the completion of a work package or phase, typically mark d by a high level event such as completion, endorsement or signing of a deliverable, document or a high level review meeting. In addition to signaling the completion of a key deliverable, a milestone may also signify an important decision or the derivation of a critical piece of information, which outlines or affects the future of a project. In this sense, a milestone not only signifies distance traveled (key stages in a project) but also indicates direction of travel since key decisions made at milestones may alter the route through the project plan. To create a milestone, enter 0 (zero) in the Duration field. The task will automatically be classified as a milestone.
Answer option C is incorrect. This is a project constraint.
Answer option B is incorrect. A project goal is an objective for time, cost, scope, and other metrics.
Answer option D is incorrect. All activities must be completed in order to complete the project work. Activities that are not completed are quality issues that prevent the project from completing the project scope.

QUESTION: 9

George is the project manager of the NHQ Project and has a budget of $778,000. The project is scheduled to last for one year with an equal amount of work completed each quarter. The second quarter of the project has ended and George has spent $325,000 but has only finished forty percent of the project. Management needs a variance report for the project schedule.
What value should George report in this instance?

.96
-$77,800
$-34,500
-$13,800

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

Schedule variance (SV) is a measure of schedule performance on a project. The variance notifies that the schedule is ahead or behind what was planned for this period in time. The schedule variance is calculated based on the following formula: SV = Earned Value (EV) - Planned Value (PV) If the resulting schedule is negative, it indicates that the project is behind schedule. A value greater than 0 shows that the project is ahead of the planned schedule. A value of 0 indicates that the project is right on target. The earned value in this instance is forty percent of the project budget, $778,000, and the planned value is $398,000 because George is to be fifty percent done at the end of the second quarter, as the work is spread evenly across all quarters. The schedule variance is -$77,800 for the project.
Answer option A is incorrect. .96 represents the cost performance index.
Answer option C is incorrect. -$34,500 represents the project's variance at completion if the project continues as is.
Answer option D is incorrect. -$13,800 is the cost variance for the project.

QUESTION: 10

You are the project manager of the NHQ Project. Management has set a conformance to the project schedule for your project at 0.95.
What does this term mean?

It means the largest schedule variance you can have is five percent.
It is the earned value divided by the planned value for your project.
It is the expectation of management to be 95 on schedule at 95 percent of the project.
It means you will need to earn at least 95 cents per dollar invested in the project.

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

Conformance to schedule is a required adherence for the project's schedule. In this instance, the project manager must not allow the schedule to slip more than five percent.
Answer option B is incorrect. This is the description of the schedule performance index.
Answer option D is incorrect. This is the description of the cost performance index.
Answer option C is incorrect. This is not a valid statement about the project performance.
