all project activities, _______ selected activities, one at a time, to
decrease project duration at the minimum additional cost.
- CRASH
In a project environment, the __________ function is more
important than it would be in an ongoing operation because
projects lack the continuity of day-today operations and often
present much more complex problems of coordination. Indeed,
this is so important that a details of the project is sometimes a
customer-specified requirement.
- SCHEDULING
A _____ _____ is a type of bar chart that illustrates a project
schedule, named after its popularizer, This was designed around
the years 1910–1915. Modern design also show the dependency
relationships between activities and the current schedule status.

The basic approach of all scheduling techniques is to form a
__________ of activity and event relationships that graphically
portrays the sequential relations between the tasks in a project.
- NETWORK
The _________ scheduling method was developed by DuPont,
Inc., during the early 1960. This was designed for construction
projects and has been generally embraced by the construction
industry.
- CPM
Booz Allen Hamilton and the Lockheed Corporation for the Polaris
missile/submarine project in 1958.
- PERT
The allocation of time among project tasks, better known as
_____________. This should be evaluated not merely in terms of
meeting project milestones, but also in terms of the timing and
use of scarce resources.
- SCHEDULING
In a Project Management this __________activity is a simulated
activity of sorts, one that is of a zero duration and is made for the
sole purpose of demonstrating a specific relationship and path of
action on the arrow diagramming method.

In Project Management, particularly in using PERT-CPM scheduling
methodology, a project’s __________ is understood to mean that
sequence of critical activities that connects the project’s start
event to its finish event and which cannot be delayed without
delaying the project.
- CRITICAL PATH
_______ _____ gives a general understanding of the demands a
project or set of projects will make on a firm’s resources. It is an
excellent guide for early, rough project planning.
- RESOURCE LOADING
In Project Management, particularly in using PERT-CPM scheduling
methodology, ___________ means or is defined as a specific task
or set of tasks that are required by the project, use up resources,
and take time to complete.
- ACTIVITY
__________ is an obvious way to check the nature and impacts of
interactions between probabilistic paths in a network. While this
used to be difficult and time consuming, software has now been
developed which simplifies matters greatly.
- SIMULATION
Tasks that must precede or follow other tasks are then clearly
identified, in time as well as function. Such a network is a
powerful tool for planning and controlling a project, and has the
many benefits except:
- d. It determines the networks on which tasks may be
finished
phases of a project. Because design is usually completed before
construction starts, overlapping the two activities will result in
shortening the project duration.
- FAST TRACKING
In resource scheduling, _______ _______ seek the best solutions
but are far more limited in their ability to handle complex
situations and large problems.
- OPTIMIZATION APPROACH
_______ _______, often considered the most important of the
criteria, is the time past a project’s due date or delivery date when
the project is completed. This may well result in penalty costs that
reduce profits.
- SCHEDULING SLIPPAGE
In reference to Project Management, particularly by using PERT-
CPM scheduling methodology This arrangement defines the
project and the activity precedence relationships. ________ are
usually drawn starting on the left and proceeding to the right.
- NETWORKS
In PERT/CPM, It is the tasks that logically follow a particular task is
__________.
- FOLLOWERS
In Project Management, there are several resources that may
need to be considered when scheduling. __________ __________
is the amount of resources of each kind that are to be devoted to
a specific activity in a certain time period.
- RESOURCE LOADING
In Project Management, scheduling is particularly important to
projects because of _______ coordination problems.
- COMPLEX
In PERT/CPM, It is the tasks that logically precede a particular task
is __________.
- PREDECESSORS
For multiproject scheduling, three important measures of
effectiveness are schedule slippage, resource utilization, and
_______ of in-process inventory.
- LEVEL
This phrase is Goldratt’s name for his view that students always
want more time to complete a project. Given more time, they
delay starting the project until the last possible moment. One of
the common occurrences is for activities with high slack to be
delayed and ignored until the slack is gone.
__________ is when an activity has slack, we can move that
activity to shift its resource usage. May also be possible to alter
the sequence of activities to levelize resources.
- RESOURCE LEVELING
In Project Management which among these given statements is
not one of the responsibility of Project Auditor?
- DETERMINE THE PROJECT’S MATERIAL REQUIREMENT
ON SITE

- STUDENT SYNDROME
When discussing project _______ _____ with senior management,
the PM should try to determine the probability that a project will
be completed by the suggested deadline—or find the completion
time associated with a predetermined level of risk.
- COMPLETION DATE
This may cause penalties. This is when time past a project’s due
date when the project is completed.
- SCHEDULE SLIPPAGE
Networks are usually constructed from left to right, indicating
activity precedence and event times as the network is
constructed. Through use of the network, critical activities and
events are __________ early and late activity start times are
found, available slacks for each activity are determined, and
probabilities of project completion by various times are
calculated.

The two fundamental purposes of project control are: 1)The
regulation of results through the alteration of activities. 2. The
stewardship of organizational assets
The project audit studies the financial, managerial, and technical
aspects of the project as an integrated set applied to a specific
project in a specific organizational environment started
appropriately

of a project, its methodology and procedures, its records, its
properties, its budgets and expenditures, and its degree of
completion.
- PROJECT AUDIT

This is possibly the most common cause of late projects. It is
certainly a major cause of frustration for anyone involved in a
project. Senior managers, firm in the belief that project workers
add extra time and resources to activity time and budget
estimates in order to insure a safe and peaceful life on their
portion of a project, routinely cut schedules and budgets.
