The Define Activities process is the first process in the project time management knowledge area. The Define Activities process creates just three outputs as a result of decomposition, rolling wave planning, templates, and expert judgment.
Which one of the following is not an output of the Define Activities process?

  1. Activity list
  2. Milestone list
  3. Activity attributes
  4. Project document updates

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

Project document updates are not an output of the Define Activities process. Project document updates are the outputs for estimate activity resources. Project document updates include the following:
Activity list Activity attributes Resource calendars
Answer option A is incorrect. The activity list is an output of the define activities process.
Answer option C is incorrect. The activity attributes is an output of the define activities process.
Answer option B is incorrect. The milestone list is an output of the define activities process.



Examine the figure given below:



If Activity B takes eight days to complete instead of five days as schedule, how long can you now delay Activity H?

  1. Three days
  2. One day
  3. Four days
  4. Zero days

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

Activity B is not on the critical path and it has a total of four days of float. If Activity B takes a total of eight days, it will consume three days of float. However, the total duration of the path ABEHJ may not exceed 26 days, as this is the total duration for the project. Although Activity H has a total of four days of float available, the consumption of three days of float on this path will reduce the total float for Activity H to just one day. If Activity H is delayed by more than one day, then the project will be late.
Answer option D is incorrect. There is one day of float still available for Activity H. Answer options A and C are incorrect. These are not the valid answers, as there is just one day of float available for Activity H.



You are the project manager of the GHT Project. Ben, one of your project team members, does not understand the idea of a milestone.
Which of the following best describes what a milestone is?

  1. A significant point in the project
  2. A goal of reaching a significant delivery of project benefits by an identified date
  3. An imposed date for the project to reach a given point
  4. The completion of a project activity that is crucial to project completion

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

A milestone is simply a significant point or event in the project. It does not have to be assigned to a specific date, but is usually assigned to the completion of project phases. A milestone is the end of a stage that marks the completion of a work package or phase, typically mark d by a high level event such as completion, endorsement or signing of a deliverable, document or a high level review meeting. In addition to signaling the completion of a key deliverable, a milestone may also signify an important decision or the derivation of a critical piece of information, which outlines or affects the future of a project. In this sense, a milestone not only signifies distance traveled (key stages in a project) but also indicates direction of travel since key decisions made at milestones may alter the route through the project plan. To create a milestone, enter 0 (zero) in the Duration field. The task will automatically be classified as a milestone.
Answer option C is incorrect. This is a project constraint.
Answer option B is incorrect. A project goal is an objective for time, cost, scope, and other metrics.
Answer option D is incorrect. All activities must be completed in order to complete the project work. Activities that are not completed are quality issues that prevent the project from completing the project scope.



You are the project manager of the GHY Project. Management wants you to create a process improvement plan for your project. Your project will be studied by management and will become a standard for all future organizational projects based on your project's performance, approach, and implementation of project processes.
All of the following should be included in your project's process improvement plan except for which one?

  1. Process boundaries
  2. Process configuration
  3. Targets for improved performance
  4. Identification of project risks

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

Identification of the project risks is not part of the process improvement plan. Identify risks is a risk management process, and risks are recorded in the risk register. Answer options A, B, and C are incorrect. Process boundaries, Process configuration and Targets for improved performance are parts of the process improvement plan.
