Question

1. There is no difference between the CPM and PERT technique when it comes to how the activity time for each node is determined. T/F

2. In Project Management, it is important to monitor activities that are not on the critical path. T/F

3. Which if the following statements regarding Critical Path Analysis is true?

a. The shortest of all paths through the network is the critical path.

b. Some activities on the critical path may have slack.

c. There cannot be more than one critical path in the network

d. The longest of all paths through the network is the critical path

Answer 1

1. TRUE
The considerations in both PERT and CPM are the same after the expected time and variance have been determined.

2. FALSE
We should focus on critical activities only unless we want to use fast-tracking to increase the resources on the critical activities from the noncritical activity.

3. D. Longest path through the network is the critical path.
The critical path is the longest path with 0 slack.
