Below are the questions for the exam with the choices of answers:
Question #1
A Every network has only one critical path.
B The shortest of all paths through the network is the critical path.
C Some activities on the critical path may have slack.
D On a specific project, there can be multiple critical paths, all with exactly the same duration.
E The duration of the critical path is the average duration of all paths in the project network.
Question #2
A Gantt charts use the four standard spines of Methods, Materials, Manpower, and Machinery.
B Gantt charts are expensive.
C All of these are true.
D Gantt charts give a timeline and precedence relationships for each activity of a project.
E
F Gantt charts are visual devices that show the duration of activities in a project.
Question #3
A Work Breakdown Structure (WBS)
B PERT analysis
C Immediate Predecessor
D Forward and Backward Pass
E Critical Path
Question #4
A standard organization.
B permanent project organization.
C normal organization.
D matrix organization.
E fixed project organization.
Question #5
A pressure to mask delays with false status reports.
B gifts from contractors.
C exaggerated expense reports.
D All of these.
E compromised quality standards to meet bonuses or avoid penalties related to schedules.
Question #6
A planning, organizing, staffing, leading, and controlling.
B different for manufacturing projects than for service projects.
C planning, programming, and budgeting.
D GANTT, CPM, and PERT.
E planning, scheduling, and controlling.
Question #7
A Crashing is not possible unless there are multiple critical paths.
B The crash time always exceeds the normal time.
C Crashing a project often reduces the length of long-duration, but noncritical, activities.
D Crashing shortens the project duration by assigning more resources to one or more of the critical tasks.
E Activities not on the critical path can never be on the critical path, even after crashing.

E 10.67
Question #9
A The most likely time is equivalent to the expected activity time.
B Only critical activities contribute to the project variance.
C Each activity has two estimates of its duration.
D Project standard deviation is the sum of all critical activity standard deviations.
E Project variance is the sum of all activity variances.
Question #10
A True
B False
Question #11
A The late start of an activity is its late finish plus its duration.
B The early finish of an activity is the latest early start of all preceding activities.
C If a specific project has multiple critical paths, all of them will have the same duration.
D There can be multiple critical paths on the same project, all with different durations.
Question #12
A You have multiple critical paths
B Only one path is optimal
C The project will not be completed by the desired time
D You have incorrectly performed the analysis
Question #13
A The Late Finish is 12
B The slack for this activity is 2
