Define activity duration.
Show hintHide hint
Think of how long a single task takes on its own.
Question 2.
What is float in the context of project management?
Show hintHide hint
Consider it as a cushion for delays.
3Question 3.
What does the float of an activity indicate?
- It represents how early an activity must start.
- It indicates flexibility in scheduling an activity.
- It is the total duration of the activity.
Show hintHide hint
Think about how delays impact the overall timeline.
4Question 4.
True or False: A project can have multiple critical paths.
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Consider how tasks can be interconnected.
Question 5.
A project has three activities: A (3 days), B (2 days), and C (5 days). Activity B must follow A and cannot start until A finishes. If A can float 2 days, how does this impact the overall project duration?
Show hintHide hint
Think about how the float of A interacts with the dependency on B.
Question 6.
You have a project with multiple critical paths due to overlapping activities. If one path takes 20 days, and another takes 18 days, what is the minimum completion time, and how can you manage resource constraints?
Show hintHide hint
Consider the strategy for optimizing the work on the longest path.
