It is a set of principles, tools and techniques that are
used to plan, execute and manage projects.

Answer 2

Project Management Methodology

Question 3

This help project managers lead team members and
manage work while facilitating team collaboration

Answer 3

Project Management Methodology

Question 4

What are the 3 Project Management Methodologies?

Answer 4

• Waterfall
• Agile
• Scrum

Question 5

It is a process in which the phases of the project flow downward.

Answer 5

Waterfall Methodology

Question 6

This model requires that you move from one project phase to another only once that phase has been successfully completed.

Answer 6

Waterfall model

Question 7

It is a way to manage a project by breaking it up
into several phases.

Answer 7

Agile Methodology

Question 8

It is an iterative approach that consists of delivering a project through short time cycles called sprints where
agile teams plan and execute project tasks.

Answer 8

Agile Project Management

Question 9

It is an agile development methodology used in the
development of Software based on an iterative and incremental processes.

Answer 9

Scrum Process/Methodology

Question 10

It is a timetable showing the forecast start and finish dates for activities or events within a project, programme or portfolio.

Answer 10

Project Scheduling/Schedule

Question 11

Scheduling comes into project planning
and there are principally two types of
scheduling: (blank) and (blank)

Answer 11

Critical Path ; Critical Chain

Question 12

This approach places emphasis on the activities in a project and understanding the shortest time to complete all activities in a logical order. It is a sequence of activities through a precedence network from start to finish, the sum of whose durations determines the overall duration

Answer 12

Critical Path

Question 13

It is an activity-based scheduling technique that determines the overall duration of the identified work
based on estimates and logical dependencies

Answer 13

Critical Path Analysis

Question 14

It is a resource-based approach to scheduling, useful when time is critical. It is derived from the critical path that protects critical chains of activities with buffers.

Answer 14

Critical Chain

Question 15

It is a system which plans the projects by analyzing the project activities. Projects are broken down into individual tasks or activities, which are arranged in logical sequence. It is also decided that which tasks will be performed simultaneously and which other sequentially

Answer 15

Network Analysis

Question 16

What are the 4 Network Analysis Techniques?

Answer 16

(1) PERT, (2) CPM, (3) PCS, (4) GERT

Question 17

Project managers use what technique as a tool to help them determine how much time it’ll take to complete a project. This is an essential step toward developing an
accurate schedule.

Answer 17

Program Evaluation and Review Technique or PERT

Question 18

This is used to determine the earliest possible starting time for each task in the project. It’ll also help a project manager determine the critical tasks and non-critical tasks. This helps when executing the project. If you’re behind schedule, you know which tasks can be skipped without impacting the integrity of the work.

Answer 18

Critical Path Method or CPM

Question 19

This provide a meticulous approach to managing risk. By preemptively identifying risks, monitoring risk continuously, and developing contingency plans to address and mitigate issues, it becomes possible to
reduce impact on budget and schedule. It also helps prevent some risks from happening in the future.

Answer 19

Project Control System (PCS)

Question 20

This is a network analysis technique that’s used in project management to bring probabilistic treatment
to both network logic and duration estimates. The technique was first described in 1966 by Dr. Alan B. Pritsker of Purdue University and WW Happ.

Answer 20

Graphical Evaluation Review Technique or GERT

Question 21

In order to fulfill deadlines and make the best use of
available resources, these diagrams are used during
the planning stage of project management to arrange
the activities that are represented by the arrows.

Answer 21

Arrow Diagram

Question 22

This diagram is also known as the Arrow Diagramming
Method (ADM), which is illustrated by arrows. This type of diagram only shows finish-to-start dependencies between activities.

Answer 22

Activity on Arrow or AOA

Question 23

It is also known as the Precedence Diagramming Method (PDM). The activities are represented by nodes in this diagram. Arrows are used to connect the nodes to one another. The relationship between the activities is depicted by these arrows. All four forms of dependencies—finish to start, start to start, finish to finish, and start to finish is shown unlike the AoA.

Answer 23

Activity on Node or AON
