9. C. The total work day duration is eight days. The first day counts as one full day.

10. A. Float is always zero for the critical path activities, so early start and late start are
the same date.

11. A. Fast tracking is a technique where you perform multiple tasks in parallel that
were previously scheduled to start sequentially.

12. B. If you didn’t know the quantity and rate, option C or D would be acceptable. In
this case, you’d use the parametric estimating technique because you do know the
quantity and rate; 30 hours times 4 miles is a total duration of 120 hours.

13. E. Governance gates might include go/no-go decisions, client sign-off, management
approval, and legislative approval.

14. C. The task will take 15 business days to complete (not counting weekends or
nd
holidays) so that makes the task completion date the 22 . Day 1 counts as the first
full day of work.
15. D. Milestone charts list the major deliverables, key events, or project phases and

show the scheduled and actual completion dates of each milestone. They may
include other information, but that information would not be displayed as bar
charts.

16. A. After the WBS is developed, the next step involves creating an activity list that
describes the activities required to complete each work package on the WBS.

17. B. Once the schedule is approved by the sponsor, customer, and stakeholders, the

schedule baseline is set. The baseline is the approved project schedule and shows
task start and end dates and resource assignments.

18. A. Finish-to-start is the most commonly used logical relationship in network and
schedule diagrams.

19. B. Eliminating Task B leaves you with the longest path through the network
diagram, which is path A-C-E for a duration of 20 days.

20. C. Tasks A, B, D, and G represent the longest dependent path through the network
diagram at 41 days.

Chapter 6: Resource Planning and Management

1. A. When a new team member is introduced on the project, the team development
stage starts again at the forming stage, no matter which stage the team was in
before.

2. A. Team-building activities help to build effective and efficient teams, improve
morale, and build social bonds. Trust building will help form high-performing work
teams but doesn’t directly lead to building social bonds or effective and efficient
teams.
