C

29. The amount of time an activity can be delayed without delaying the early start date of any immediately following activities is known as a _____. a. forward pass c. fast tracking b. backward pass d. free slack

D

37. A difference between the Program Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT) and critical path method (CPM) is that: a. CPM addresses the risk associated with duration estimates whereas PERT does not. c. CPM involves more work than PERT because it requires several duration estimates. b. unlike CPM, PERT estimates only when there is no risk of uncertainty. d. PERT uses different duration estimates whereas CPM uses one specific duration estimate.

D

D

13. In a network diagram, it is mandatory for every item on the WBS to be shown instead of only those activities with dependencies.

F

16. A drawback of the precedence diagramming method is that it cannot be used unless dummy activities are employed.

F

17. In project time management, one should control the scheule before estimating the duration for each activity.

F

18. In a Gantt chart, thick black bars represent milestones achieved in a project.

F

2. In project time management, the primary output of defining activities is a schedule management plan.

F

20. A disadvantage of using Gantt charts is that they do not provide a standard format for displaying planned project schedule information.

F

23. A backward pass through the network diagram determines the early start and early finish dates for each activity.

F

25. The main disadvantage of crashing is that it lengthens the time needed to finish a project.

F

27. Critical chain scheduling assumes that resources multitask and maximizes multitasking.

F

28. One of PERT's main disadvantages is that it does not address the risk associated with duration estimates.
