2. Most projects have one path through a network diagram.

True or False

3. To make milestones meaningful, some people use the ____________________ criteria to help define them.

4. ____ involves analyzing activity sequences, activity resource estimates, and activity duration estimates to create the project schedule.

a. Estimating activity durations

b. Developing the schedule

c. Controlling the schedule

d. Estimating activity resources

5. ____ results in supporting detail to document important product information as well as assumptions and constraints related to specific activities.

a. Defining activities

b. Sequencing activities

c. Estimating activity resources

d. Estimating activity duration

Answer 1

Dear student, according to the questions, the solution is as follows:

1.  Duration estimates are often provided as a discrete number, such as four weeks, or as a range, such as three to five weeks, or as a(n) Three - point estimate

  In three-point estimation, three figures are produced initially for every distribution that is

• The Best-case estimate. (Optimal)
• The Most likely estimate. (Most Likely)
• The Worst-case estimate (Pessimistic)

2.  Most projects have one path through a network diagram. False

Most projects have multiple paths through a network diagram. The longest path or path containing the critical tasks is what is driving the completion date for the project.

3. To make milestones meaningful, some people use the SMART criteria to help define them.

The SMART criteria means

• Specific
• Measurable
• Assignable
• Realistic and
• Time framed

4. Developing the schedule involves analyzing activity sequences, activity resource estimates, and activity duration estimates to create the project schedule.

Answer : Option B.

We need to develop the schedule to maintain accurate and timely project schedule

5. Defining Activities results in supporting detail to document important product information as well as assumptions and constraints related to specific activities.

Answer : Option A.

If you well define the activities, it will provide support to document the important document information.
