Question There are ____ main processes involved in project time management. 

____ involves identifying the specific activities that the project team members and stakeholders must perform to produce the project deliverables. 

The main outputs of the ____ process are an activity list, activity attributes, and milestone list. 

____ involves identifying and documenting the relationships between project activities. 

____ involves estimating the number of work periods that are needed to complete individual activities. 

____ involves analyzing activity sequences, activity resource estimates, and activity duration estimates to create the project schedule. 

____ involves controlling and managing changes to the project schedule. 

Outputs from ____ include work performance measurements, organizational process assets updates, change requests,

project management plan updates, and project document updates. 

The ____ provide(s) schedule-related information about each activity, such as predecessors, successors, logical

relationships, leads and lags, resource requirements, constraints, imposed dates, and assumptions related to the activity. 

Question The goal of ____ is to ensure that the project team has complete understanding of all the work they must do as part of the project scope so they can start scheduling the work.

____ results in supporting detail to document important product information as well as assumptions and constraints related to specific activities. 

____ involves evaluating the reasons for dependencies and the different types of dependencies. 

____ dependencies are inherent in the nature of the work being performed on a project. 

____ dependencies are sometimes referred to as soft logic and should be used with care since they may limit later

scheduling options. 

____ dependencies involve relationships between project and non-project activities. 

____ occur when two or more activities follow a single node. 

On a network diagram, all arrowheads should face toward the ____. 

The ____ is a network diagramming technique in which boxes represent activities. 

In a ____ relationship, the “from” activity cannot start until the “to” activity is started. 

n a ____ relationship, one task cannot finish before another finishes. 

A ____ is a hierarchical structure that identifies the project’s resources by category and type. 

Question The activity list, activity attributes, activity resource requirements, resource calendars, project scope statement, enterprise

environmental factors, and organizational process assets all include information that affect ____. 

The ultimate goal of ____ is to create a realistic project schedule that provides a basis for monitoring project progress for the time dimension of the project. 

____ provide(s) a standard format for displaying project schedule information by listing project activities and their corresponding start and finish dates in a calendar format. 

____ is a network diagramming technique used to predict total project duration. 

The critical path is the ____ path through a network diagram, and it represents the ____ time it takes to complete a project. 

____ is the amount of time an activity can be delayed from its early start without delaying the planned project finish date. 

____ is a technique for making cost and schedule trade-offs to obtain the greatest amount of schedule compression for the least incremental cost. 

____ involves doing activities in parallel that you would normally do in sequence. 

____ is a method of scheduling that considers limited resources when creating a project schedule and includes buffers to protect the project completion date.

Critical chain scheduling protects tasks on the critical chain from being delayed by using ____, which consist of additional time added before tasks on the critical chain that are preceded by non-critical-path tasks. 

____ states that work expands to fill the time allowed. 

____ use(s) probabilistic time estimates—duration estimates based on using optimistic, most likely, and pessimistic

estimates of activity durations—instead of one specific or discrete duration estimate. 

The goal of ____ is to know the status of the schedule, influence the factors that cause schedule changes, determine that the

schedule has changed, and manage changes when they occur. 

Project managers often illustrate progress with a ____ showing key deliverables and activities. 

Project managers must use discipline to control ____. 

Project management software highlights the critical path in ____ on a network diagram.
