SCHEDULE 4 Flashcards
Process of analyzing activity sequences, durations, resource requirements, and schedule constraints to create a schedule module for project execution and monitoring and controlling.
DEVELOP SCHEDULE PROCESS
The key benefit of this process is that it generates a ____ ____ with planned ____ for completing project activities, this process is performed ___ project.
SCHEDULE MODULE; DATES; THROUGHOUT
What are the Develop Schedule process inputs?
PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLAN (Schedule management Plan, Scope Baseline), PROJECT DOCUMENTS, AGREEMENTS, EEF’s, OPA’s
What are the components of Develop Schedule project documents?
BASIS OF ESTIMATES; DURATION ESTIMATES; L.L. REGISTER; MILESTONE LIST; PROJECT SCHEDULE NETWORK DIAGRAM; PROJECT TEAM ASSIGNEMENTS; RESOURCE CALENDARS; RESOURCE REQUIREMENTS; RISK REGISTER
What are the Develop Schedule process T&T’s?
SCHEDULE NETWORK ANALYSIS; CRITICAL PATH METHOD; RESOURCE OPTIMIZATION; DATA ANALYSIS; LEADS AND LAGS; SCHEDULE COMPRESSION; PMIS; AGILE RELEASE PLANNING
The overarching technique used to generate the project schedule model.
SCHEDULE NETWORK ANALYSIS
What other methods does Schedule Network Analysis employ?
CRITICAL PATH; RESOURCE OPTIMIZATION TECHNIQUE; MODELING TECHNIQUE
A method used to estimate the minimum project duration and determine the amount of schedule ____ on the logical network paths within schedule module.
CRITICAL PATH METHOD; FLEXIBILITY
The critical paths is the sequence of activities that represents the ___ path through a project, which determines the ____ possible project duration.
LONGEST; SHORTEST
The critical path method is used to calculate the critical path(s) and the amount of ___ and ___ ___ or schedule flexibility on the logical paths within the schedule module.
TOTAL AND FREE FLOAT
The amount of time a schedule activity can be delayed without delaying the early start date of any successor or violating a schedule constraint.
FREE FLOAT or SLACK
The amount of time that a schedule activity can be delayed or extended from its early start date without delaying the ____ ____ ____ or violating a schedule constraint.
TOTAL FLOAT; PROJECT FINSH DATE
A critical path is normally characterized by ____ ___ ___ on the critical path.
ZERO TOTAL FLOAT
Positive Total Float is caused when the backward pass is calculated from a schedule constraint that is later than the early finish date that has been calculated during forward pass calculation.
POSITIVE TOTAL FLOAT
Negative float analysis is a technique that helps to find possible accelerated ways of bringing a delayed schedule back on track.
NEGATIVE TOTAL FLOAT
Assign a start date to the start milestone, moving through the network from activity to activity (left to right), assign start and finish dates for each activity. The start and finish dates for each activity is called ___ __ and ___ ___ dates.
FORWARD PASS; EARLY START; EARLY FINISH
Assign a finish date to the end milestone, then moving back through the network (right to left) it arrives back at the start milestone.
BACKWARD PASS
The ___ ___ and ___ ___ dates represent the latest dates that each task can start and finish without causing a delay in the finish date of the ____.
LATE START; LATE FINISH; PROJECT
These techniques are used to adjust the start and finished dates of activities to adjust ____ resource use to be equal or less than resource ____. (Leveling and Smoothing)
RESOURCE OPTIMIZATION; PLANNED; AVAILABILITY
A resource-optimization technique in which adjustments are made to the project schedule to optimize the allocation of resources and which may affect critical path.
RESOURCE LEVELING
A technique that adjusts the activities of a schedule model such that the requirements for resources on the project do not exceed certain predefined resource limits.
RESOURCE SMOOTHING
In resource smoothing, as opposed to resource leveling, the project’s critical path is ___ ___ and the completion date may not be ____.
NOT CHANGED; DELAYED
Two most often used data analysis techniques?
WHAT-IF SCANARIO ANALYSIS; SIMULATION
The outcome of the what-if scenario analysis can be used to assess the ___ of the project schedule under different conditions, and in preparing schedule ___ and ___ ___ to address the impact of unexpected situations.
FEASIBILITY; RESERVES; RESPONSE PLANS
Simulation data analysis technique - models the combined effect of individual ___ ___ and other sources of ____ to evaluate their potential impact on achieving project objectives.
PROJECT RSCKS; UNCERTAINITY
Simulation technique in which risks and other sources of uncertainty are used to calculate possible schedule outcomes for the total project.
MONTE CARLO ANALYSIS
Leads are used in limited circumstances to ____ a successor activity with respect to the predecessor activity.
ADVANCE
Lags are used in limited circumstances where processes require a set period of time to ____ ___ the predecessor and successors without work or resource impact.
ELAPSE BETWEEN
Schedule compression techniques are used to ____ or ____ the schedule duration without reducing the project scope in order to meet schedule constraints, imposed dates, or other schedule objectives.
SHORTEN; ACCELERATE
A schedule compression technique used to shorted the schedule duration for the least incremental cost by adding additional resources. Examples: overtime, bringing additional resources, etc.
CRASHING
A schedule compression technique in which activities or phases normally done in sequence are performed in parallel for at least a portion of their duration.
FAST TRACKING
What are the Develop Schedule process outputs?
SCHEDULE BASELINE; PROJECT SCHEDULE; SCHEDULE DATA; PROJECT CALENDARS; CHANGE REQUESTS; PMP UPDATES; PROJECT DOCUMENTS UPDATES
The process of monitoring the status of the project to update the project schedule and managing changes to the schedule baseline.
CONTROL SCHEDULE PROCESS
The key benefit of Control Schedule process is that the ____ ____ is maintained throughout the project, this process is performed ___ the project.
SCHEDULE BASELINE; THROUGHOUT
