03 Developing the Project Plan

Question 1

The ___ for the project is an
early compilation of the significant work items that will have
associated cost or schedule considerations.

Answer 1

work breakdown structure (WBS)

Question 2

is defined as a task-oriented, detailed breakdown of
activities that organizes, defines, and graphically displays the
total work to be accomplished to achieve the final objectives of
a project

Answer 2

work breakdown structure (WBS)

Question 3

A__ is a breakdown or
hierarchical representation of the various costs in a project.

Answer 3

cost breakdown structure (CBS)

Question 4

is the determination of the timing and
sequence of operations in the project and their
assembly to give the overall completion time.

Answer 4

scheduling

Question 5

is the determination of the timing and
sequence of operations in the project and their
assembly to give the overall completion time

Answer 5

risk analysis

Question 6

A project management
tool in which the stages of a project are graphically represented on a chart

Answer 6

Program Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT)

Question 7

A network analysis
technique that allows for conditional and probabilistic treatment of logical
relationships (that is, some activities may not be performed).

Answer 7

Graphical Evaluation and Review Technique (GERT)

Question 8

An event-oriented network analysis technique used to estimate project duration
when there is a high degree of uncertainty with individual activity duration
estimates.

Answer 8

Program Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT)

Question 9

applies the critical path method to a weighted average duration
estimate.

Answer 9

Program Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT)

Question 10

is considered a probabilistic method.

Answer 10

Program Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT)

Question 11

is incorrectly used in the construction industry sometimes to denote a Logic
Network

Answer 11

PERT Diagram

Question 12

Is a modification of the
traditional GERT approach in that it recognizes special circumstances where
multiple numbers of the project teams or activities must be taken into
consideration simultaneously.

Answer 12

Queue-Graphical Evaluation and Review Technique

Question 13

the simulation
language for alternative modelling, was the first simulation language which
allowed a modeler to formulate a system description using process, event, or
continuous world views or any combination of the 3.

Answer 13

Simulation Language for Alternative Modelling (SLAM)

Question 14

which has been
developed to help prepare a robust construction plan, focusing on construction
feedbacks in dealing with indirect and unanticipated events during construction

Answer 14

Dynamic Planning and Control Methodology (DPM)

Question 15

is a project
management methodology that helps you monitor essential resources and
prioritize dependent tasks within a project.

Answer 15

Critical chain project management (CCPM)

Question 16

The extra time that’s placed between the final task and the end
of the project.

Answer 16

project buffers

Question 17

The extra time that’s placed between the feeding chain (also
known as the non-critical chain) and the critical chain.

Answer 17

feeding buffers

Question 18

These are literal resources you set aside in case the critical
chain is in need of extra supplies—like extra team members to have on hand,
additional equipment, or help from a third-party.

Answer 18

resource buffers

Question 19

is the full amount of assigned hours you
have tasked your team with divided by the number of hours you have to do the
work. You can view resource loading on a daily, weekly, monthly or project
basis.

Answer 19

resource loading
