Question 10

Identify five of the critical factors in project failure.

Accepted Answer

1.Change in initial project expectations

Question 11

Time,scope,and cost are positively correlated in project management.

Accepted Answer

A) True 
 B)False

Question 12

Activity C is directly preceded by two activities,activity A and activity B.Activity A has an expected time of five and early start time of six.Activity B has an expected time of seven and an early start time of seven.Activity C has an expected time of ten.What is the early start for activity C?
Activity A,early finish is 6 + 5 = 11.
Activity B,early finish is 7 + 7 = 14.
The early start for Activity 7 is the larger of the two early finish times; so the time is 14.

Accepted Answer

Activity A,early finish is 6 +

Accepted Answer

A) True 
 B)False

Question 14

The path in a network diagram with the most activities is the critical path.

Accepted Answer

A) True 
 B)False

Question 15

Draw a network diagram using the AON convention for the following project.
Activity A has a duration of 4 days and no predecessor.
Activity B has a duration of 2 days and has A as a predecessor.
Activity C has a duration of 2 days and has A as a predecessor.
Activity D has a duration of 3 days and has B as a predecessor.
Activity E has a duration of 4 days and has C as a predecessor.
Activity F has a duration of 1 day and has D and E as predecessors.

Accepted Answer

The answer of Draw a network diagram using the AON...
