Question 1

The fact that you must pour foundation before you frame the house and that you have to frame the house before you can put on the roof demonstrates scheduling constraints.

Answer

true

Question 2

Too many parallel activities for one individual is an example of a resource constraint.

Answer

true

Question 3

The level of resources each activity will need to be completed in the given amount of time has been estimated; therefore, there are no resource constraints.

Answer

true

Question 4

Resource leveling or smoothing is only used on projects which are resource constrained.

Answer

true

Question 5

Resource bottlenecks are one of the three more common problems encountered in managing multiproject resource schedules.

Answer

true

Question 6

The inability to fit more than two earth movers on a construction site at the same time when more are needed to complete the activity on time is an example of a physical constraint.

Answer

true

Question 7

In a resource-constrained project, the completion date is most likely to change.

Answer

true

Question 8

Having too few programmers and too many engineers is an example of a people resource constraint.

Answer

true

Question 9

If a project needs one earth mover six months from now in order to complete one activity, and the organization has four such machines, there is no equipment resource constraint.

Answer

true

Question 10

A lack of readily available engineers is a technical constraint.

Answer

true

Question 11

Resource dependency takes priority over technological dependency but it does not violate it.

Answer

true

Question 12

To determine if a project is time-constrained or resource-constrained you would consult the project priority matrix.

Answer

true

Question 13

Sequential activities hold just as much potential for resource conflicts as parallel activities.

Answer

true

Question 14

All leveling techniques delay noncritical activities by using positive slack to smooth out the resource requirements.

Answer

true

Question 15

Since resource leveling or smoothing delays noncritical activities, a common result is a decrease in network sensitivity.

Answer

true

Question 16

Scheduling projects classified as resource-constrained focuses on completing the project as soon as possible under the given resource constraints.

Answer

true

Question 17

When resource constraints are added to technical constraints the original project network may change as well as the completion date.

Answer

true

Question 18

When scheduling activities in a resource-constrained project typically the activity scheduled first has the most amount of slack.

Answer

true

Question 19

A project budget report is showing our project as spending $35,000 against a budgeted amount of $40,000. We can assume that everything is going as planned and that we are under budget.

Answer

true

Question 20

Splitting is a scheduling technique used to get a better schedule or better resource utilization and should be used without hesitation.

Answer

true

Question 21

Without a time-phased budget a good project schedule and cost control are impossible.

Answer

true

Question 22

If resources are truly limited and activity time estimates are accurate, the resource-constrained schedule will materialize as the project is implemented, not the time-constrained schedule.

Answer

true

Question 23

Project managers should always assign the best people to the most difficult tasks.

Answer

true

Question 24

Resource constraints can be overcome by creative and efficient scheduling.

Answer

true

Question 25

Project management software is important because it will manage the project for the project manager.

Answer

true

Question 26

Comparing Planned Costs versus Actual Costs will give the project manager a quick understanding of the status of the project.

Answer

true

Question 27

Having individual staff members assigned to multiple simultaneous tasks is an efficient way to split tasks and get tasks accomplished more efficiently.

Answer

true
