Introduction to Time Management Flashcards
What is Activity Definition ?
Identifying the specific activities that the project
team members and stakeholders must perform to produce the
project deliverables.
What is Activity Sequencing?
Identifying and documenting the relationships
between project activities.
What is Activity resource estimating?
Estimating how many resources a
project team should use to perform project activities.
What is Activity Duration Estimating?
Estimating the number of work
periods that are needed to complete individual activities.
What is Schedule Development ?
Analyzing activity sequences, activity
resource estimates, and activity duration estimates to create the
project schedule.
What is Schedule Control?
Controlling and managing changes to the project
schedule.
What is an activity (Aka task)?
An activity or task is an element of work required to create a WBS work

activity
What is the purpose of a milestone?
Milestones are useful tools for setting schedule goals and monitoring
progress
Does a milestone have duration?
No
What are the three types of dependencies?
Mandatory dependencies (hard logic)
* Discretionary dependencies (soft logic)
* External dependencies
What are the preferred technique for showing
activity sequencing?
Network Diagrams
What is a network diagram?
A network diagram is a schematic display of the logical
relationships among, or sequencing of, project activities.
What is another name for the precedence diagramming method?
