The project manager decided to improve the predicted completion date for the project by doing in parallel several of the activities that were scheduled to be done in sequence. This is called:
2.
In a project to install concrete sewer lines there is a lot of uncertainty as to how long the durations should be for the tasks involved. The project manager has determined that the team will use the PERT technique to evaluate the project’s completion date. The diagram shows nine activities and the table shows the optimistic, pessimistic, and most likely estimates that the team has already made. What is the expected value of the number of days to complete the project?
3.
Schedules are used in many ways. In a project to build a bridge the project manager wants to use a tool that will show the scheduled activities in such a way that it is easy to see when each activity starts and finishes and which activities are taking place at the same time. Which tool should be used?
4.
Which of the following is true?
5.

The project manager has determined that the team will use the PERT technique to evaluate the project’s completion date. The diagram shows nine activities and the table shows the optimistic, pessimistic, and most likely estimates that the team has already made. What is the standard deviation for the duration of activity B?

Crashing the schedule means:

If a project manager were to make Thanksgiving dinner, two of the activities that might be of concern would be roasting the turkey and baking the sweet potatoes. In order to ensure that these two items will be finished cooking and will come out of the oven at the same time, what type of relationship should he or she use in the schedule between these two activities?

In a project to install concrete sewer lines there is a lot of uncertainty as to how long the durations should be for the tasks involved. The project manager has determined that the team will use the PERT technique to evaluate the project’s completion date. The diagram shows nine activities and the table shows the optimistic, pessimistic, and most likely estimates that the team has already made. It is desirable to make an estimate that has a greater than 95% chance of being correct. Which of the following ranges of time for the completion of the project best describes this probability of being correct?

The original schedule (for a project, a work package, or an activity), plus or minus approved changes, is called:
