OPS 571T Wk 4 – Practice: Week 4 Activities
What type of chart compares the current project schedule with the original baseline schedule so that deviations from the original plan can be easily noticed?
Multiple Choice
Tracking Gantt chart
Project task tree
Bar chart
Milestone chart
Project calendar
Schedule the following activities using CPM:
ACTIVITY IMMEDIATE PREDECESSOR TIME (WEEKS)
A — 1
B A 4
C A 3
D B 2
E C, D 5
F D 2
G F 2
H E, G 3

- What is the critical path?
A-C-D-F-G
A-C-E-H
A-B-D-F-G-H
A-B-D-E-H
- How many weeks will it take to complete the project?
b.
A-B-D-E-H, also shown in the network above as the bold path.
d.
All tasks on the critical path (CP) will have zero slack. All other tasks will have slack equal to the difference between their early and late start times, which is the same as the difference between their early and late finish times. In this problem those tasks are C, F, and G.
What was the first major project management information system that is now commonly used for managing very large projects?
Multiple Choice
PERT
IBM Projects
CPM
Microsoft Project
Primavera Project Planner

You have the following time and cost information for use in a time-cost CPM scheduling model.
What are the three costs per unit of time to expedite each activity?
Multiple Choice
A = $300, B = $200, C = $300
A = $100, B = $200, C = $400
A = $200, B = $200, C = $200
A = $100, B = $400, C = $300
A = $200, B = $300, C = $400
You have just performed a CPM analysis and have found that more than one path through the project network has zero slack values. What can you conclude?
Multiple Choice
You have incorrectly performed the analysis.
You have multiple critical paths.
Only one path is optimal.
More than one path is optimal.
The project will not be completed by the desired time.
You are looking at a chart that has the terms BCWS, BCWP, and AC indicating lines on the chart. What kind of chart are you looking at?
