Question 1: Mandatory dependencies are legally or contractually or technologically constrained relationships between executing activities in a project. Type: True or False Points Awarded: 1.000/1.000 User Answer(s): TRUE Question 2: A drainage services manager assigns one crew to process three sewer maintenance job orders A, B, C distributed over three locations in the city. The crew decides to work on Job C first, followed by Job A, then Job B. The precedence relationships among activities are not due to mandatory dependencies. Type: True or False Points Awarded: 1.000/1.000 User Answer(s): TRUE Comment: they are Discretionary dependencies, which are soft or preferential logic, are established based on knowledge of best practices within a particular application area or some unusual aspect of the project where a specific sequence is desired, even though there may be other acceptable sequences. Question 3: Crew availability, safety measures, working area readiness and material on time delivery are identified as prerequisites to proceed with a concrete pouring activity on site. All the mentioned factors present discretionary dependencies for the construction planner to factor in planning and Comment: present mandatory dependencies Question 4: The work plan used for identifying resource links can be made by trial and error given the project is of small size and must show activity time schedule. Type: True or False Points Awarded: 1.000/1.000 User Answer(s): FALSE Comment: only identifying and defining resource constrained precedence relationships is relevant while the time schedule itself can be ignored. Question 5: Any precedence relationships due to resource use sequencing and allocation can be defined and added into RACPM analysis. Type: True or False Points Awarded: 1.000/1.000 User Answer(s): TRUE comment: Based on RACPM, resource availability constraints imposed for CPM can be represented with additional precedence relationships between activities. Question 6: The resource constrained precedence relationship does not exist in light of discontinuity in resource utilization between consecutive activities. Type: True or False Points Awarded: 1.000/1.000 User Answer(s): FALSE comment: in this case, the resource constrained precedence relationships between activities do exist and need to be factored in updating project network and schedule. Question 7: Certain blank cells in the resource-activity bar chart denote float specific to resources and activities in critical path analysis. Type: True or False Points Awarded: 1.000/1.000 User Answer(s): TRUE Question 8: It is advisable to apply resource constrained scheduling to AON with complex precedence relationships and lags such as SS/FF/SF. Type: True or False Points Awarded: Comment: resource constrained scheduling is restricted to AON with FS=0; AON with complex precedence relationships and lags needs to be converted to AON with FS=0 lag prior to resource constrained scheduling. The reason is because smart relationships can have implicit resource links embedded. Question 9: Which one of the following statements is not true about critical path? Type: Multiple Choice Points Awarded: 1.000/1.000 User Answer(s): Critical Path is the shortest path of activities that have Total Float of zero. Question 10: What does the technique used to adjust the project schedule based on resource availability and resource demand called? Type: Multiple Choice Points Awarded: 1.000/1.000 User Answer(s): resource leveling Question 11: Assigning resources to find the shortest project schedule accounting for fixed resource limits is called Type: Multiple Choice Points Awarded: 1.000/1.000 User Answer(s): Resource activity critical path method. Question 12: Mike is a first-time project manager and is applying a project schedule. He wants to level the resources and has been given the following guidelines on resource leveling. Which of these four statements is incorrect? Type: Multiple Choice Points Awarded: 1.000/1.000 User Answer(s): Resource leveling is applied to a schedule before it has been analyzed by the critical path method Question 13: Which one of the followings could be a discretionary dependency between activates in a project schedule? Type: Multiple Choice Points Awarded: 1.000/1.000 User Answer(s): A constraint based on trade availability Question 14: Precedence relationship between activities depends on the: Type: Multiple Choice Points Awarded: 1.000/1.000 User Answer(s): All of the above Question 15: Which of the following is NOT correct: Type: Multiple Choice Points Awarded: 1.000/1.000 User Answer(s): Total float is owned by one activity and thus it remains unchanged as long as the activity is not finished yet. Question 16: Which of the following is NOT correct in regards with CPM: Type: Multiple Choice Points Awarded: 1.000/1.000 User Answer(s): None of the above Question 17: Which of the following is correct in regards with resource link between activities? Type: Multiple Choice Points Awarded: 1.000/1.000 User Answer(s): All of the above Question 18: Which one is NOT correct? Type: Multiple Choice Points Awarded: 1.000/1.000 User Answer(s): None of the above Question 19: Which of the following statements is NOT correct? Type: Multiple Choice Points Awarded: 1.000/1.000 User Answer(s): Over allocated resources can be leveled by increasing duration on critical activities while reducing resource required Question 20: Transform the following relationship to be embedded in an AON. Type: Essay Points Awarded: 0.000/1.000 User Answer(s): FF-10 A(10) B(20) SS=4 Question 21: Construct an AON represent the following relationships. First display all the relationships, then remove redundancies. Technology-constrained precedence relationships: A must precede D E cannot be started until B is done F succeeds B 's predecessor activities are B and C Resource-constrained precedence relationships: A follows B B follows C F follows E, G D, E follow A succeeds D,G ST Type: Essay Points Awarded: 0.000/1.000 User Answer(s): A -Tech.Links- Res.Links- E F FN G
