  • Yes
  • No
Q.2
Which of the following is an advantage of pert and cpm?
  • straightforward concept
  • not mathematically complex
  • It does not handle the scheduling of resource allocation
  • Both straightforward concept & not mathematically complex
Q.3
Which of the following is a limitation of pert and cpm?
  • They can be used only to monitor schedules
  • There is the inherent danger of placing too much emphasis on the critical path.
  • They are applicable to only a narrow variety of projects and industries
  • The graphical nature of a network delays comprehension of the activity list's interrelatiomships
Q.4
Which of the following is not a primary form of agile methodology?
  • RUP
  • RAD
  • SDLC
  • SCRUM
Q.5
The main difference between pert and cpm is that ...........
  • Critical path is determined in PERT only
  • PERT deals with events and CPM with activities
  • Costs are considered on CPM only and not in PERT
  • Guessed times are used in PERT and evaluated times in CPM
Q.6
With respect to pert and cpm, slack ...............
  • marks the start or completion of a task.
  • is a task or subproject that must be completed.
  • is the latest time an activity can be started without delaying the entire project.
  • is the amount of time a task may be delayed without changing the overall project completion time.
Q.7
Which of the following statements regarding critical paths is true?
  • Every network has only one critical path.
  • Some activities on the critical path may have slack.
  • The shortest of all paths through the network is the critical path.
  • On a specific project, there can be multiple critical paths, all with exactly the same duration.
Q.8
Which of the following statements regarding pert times is true?
  • The probable time estimate is calculated as t = (a + 4m + b)/6.
  • Optimistic time estimate is an estimate of the maximum time an activity will require.
  • Optimistic time estimate is an estimate of the minimum time an activity will require.
  • None of the above
Q.9
Which of the following statements regarding cpm networks is true?
  • Prioritizes tasks
  • Allows you to compare the planned and the actual progress.
  • Helps the team stay focused on the main thing.
  • All of the above
Q.10
Which of the following statements regarding pert analysis is true?
  • Each activity has three estimates of its duration.
  • Only critical activities contribute to the project variance.
  • Project variance is the sum of all critical activity variances.
  • The most likely time is different from the expected activity time.
Q.11
The earliest start time rule
  • Directs when a project can start
  • Regulates when a project must begin
  • Compares the activities end time for an activity predecessor
  • Compares the activities starting time for an activity successor
Q.12
CPM was developed in which country?
  • Japan
  • China
  • USA
  • Russia
Q.13
Slack time in PERT analysis
  • Can never be less than zero
  • Is minimum for critical events
  • Can never be less than zero
  • Can never be greater than zero
Q.14
Which of the following statements regarding gantt charts is true?
  • Gantt charts are expensive
  • Gantt charts give a timeline and precedence relationships for each activity of a project
  • Gantt charts are visual devices that show the duration of activities in a project.
  • None of the above
Q.15
PERT analysis is based upon
  • Optimistic time
  • Most likely time
  • Pessimistic time
  • All of the above
Q.16
Which of the following is not true regarding pert and cpm?
  • PERT and CPM are useful in monitoring costs.
  • Time estimates are subject to fudging by managers.
  • Managers only need to closely monitor the critical path.
  • PERT and CPM are useful when controlling large projects.
Q.17
What does PERT analysis based on?
  • Most likely time
  • Optimistic time
  • Pessimistic time
  • All of the above
Q.18
Who introduced bar chart in CPM?
  • Jane Gantt
  • Henry Gantt
  • Williams henry
  • Joseph henry
Q.19
What is difference between PERT and CPM?
  • PERT is a probabilistic model while CPM is a deterministic model
  • PERT is an event-oriented technique while CPM is an activity-oriented technique
  • PERT is Project Evaluation and Review Technique while CPM is Critical Path Method
  • All of the above
Q.20
