5A - Develop a Project Schedule Flashcards
The project team’s plan for starting and finishing activities on specific dates and in a certain sequence. The ___ also specifies planned dates for meeting project milestones.
project schedule
The network path that has the longest duration in a project or work package.
critical path
The amount of time an activity can be delayed from its ES without delaying the project finish date or the consecutive activities.
float (slack)
The total amount of time that an activity can be delayed without delaying the project finish date. It is obtained by subtracting an activity’s EF from its LF or its ES from its LS.
total float
The amount of time an activity can be delayed without delaying the ES of an activity that immediately follows it.
free float
Any technique that is used to calculate the theoretical early and late start and finish dates for all project activities
schedule network analysis
An analysis method that uses a sequential Finish-to-Start network logic and calculates one early and late start and finish date for each activity using a single-duration estimate.
CPM
What does CPM stand for?
Critical Path Method
An analysis method that allows you to consider resource limitations and adjust the schedule as appropriate to work within those limitations.
critical chain method
An analysis method that allows you to plan for unexpected issues or problems that will interfere with the schedule.
what-if scenario analysis
One of the four common methods for achieving schedule network analysis; a technique that is used to analyze the schedule model. ___ allows you to readjust the work as appropriate.
resource leveling
The visual representation of a project schedule in bar chart form. Activities are listed down the left side and dates across the top or bottom with bars to indicate start and finish dates. Time is represented with horizontal bars that correspond to the activities. ___s may also show the dependencies of the project activities, as well as the percentage of the activity, as well as the percentage of the activity completed to date and the actual progress in relation to planned progress.
