Chapter 06: Developing a Project Plan (1X2 & true/false)

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

Project flow and dependency

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

Sensitivity

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

True

It is acceptable for arrows to cross one another in a network diagram.

True

Using free slack does not delay any following activities and requires no coordination with managers of other activities.

True

Information to develop a project network is collected from the

Work breakdown structure

On a project network, the activity times are derived from the

Work packages

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

False

If, for some reason, the project must be expedited to meet an earlier date, which of the following actions would the project manager take first

Heck to see which activities are on the critical path

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

Merge activity

When translated into a project network, a work package will become

One or more activities

Activities which can take place at the same time are termed

Parallel activity

________ activities must be completed immediately before a particular activity

Predecessor

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

Earliest time an activity can finish

An activity can include only one work package.

False

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

False
