In an earned value-based system, a schedule performance index of less than one for the project indicates the project is:
In order for a claimant to be entitled to an extension of contract time for a delay event (and further to be considered compensable):
Which of the following is NOT a tool or technique used to perform scope planning?
Scenario:
The entire network consists of the following activities and relationships. Activity A is twenty days long and is tied to Activity B, a ten-day activity, with a finish-to-finish tie with a lag value of five Activity B is tied to Activity C, a twenty-day activity, with a start-to-start relationship with a lag value of five.

Scope Known about Rock-Filled Dam Project:
The dam requires river diversion and work over two or more rainy seasons. The contract is lump sum, competitively bid, and will be self-performed. The owner has attempted to shift all risk to the contractor by employing "no differing sit conditions" and "no damage for delay" clauses. There is a bonus/penalty provision of $2,500 per calendar day for early or late delivery. The early completion bonus is capped at $500,000, with no cap for late delivery penalty.
Liquidated damages end at the finish of demobilization. Indirect costs per calendar day are $2,800 for the "normal" schedule and $3,200 for the "crashed" schedule. The winter/wet weather season is 151 days between October 15 and March 25 of each year, reduces the efficiency of the contractor's operations by 20% and costs the contractor $10,000 per day. Assume a start date of March 5, 2001 and use a 7-day work week.
The following table lists work activities as planned by the contractor.
Theoretically construct a summary activity for only those activities with a finish-to-start relationship for Activities 8001 through 10001. Using the "normal" schedule, what is the cost of this hammock?
Using the "normal" schedule, given Activity 3001 and the relationship with Activity 4001, what is indicated?
The characteristic of the precedence diagramming method that models construction projects differently than the arrow diagramming method is that it____________.
If all other work proceeds according to the Baseline plan, how many times will the critical path change?
For activity 11001. why would the crashed direct cost be greater than the direct cost of the normal schedule?
You are developing a detailed critical path schedule for a proposed petrochemical plant. The schedule will become a part of the project baseline document, which will be sent to the company's board of directors for its consideration. What document or resource is likely to be MOST valuable in determining the schedule's work activity durations?
If a detailed estimate is NOT available to assist in the formulation of activity durations but unit quantities have been identified, what information can be utilized to estimate work package/activity durations?
What day would Activity C complete if the duration of Activity B was reduced to zero?
When using a detailed estimate as the basis for work package/activity durations, which element does NOT need to be identified before the activity durations can be calculated?
An earned value-based project control system can use either of which two budgets as the basis of its calculations?
Management has determined the need to release the product 20 days earlier than planned. What tasks need to be expedited?
Assuming that you had only one crane capable of 30 lifts per day, 3 column pours requiring 28 lifts each, plus associated assorted work requiring an additional 150 lifts, what is the minimum planned working duration for this work?
In analyzing a logical chain of activities in a critical path method (CPM) schedule, what do differing total float values within that chain typically indicate?
Project schedules help control all of the following EXCEPT for_____________________.
If Activity A was delayed 5 days from starting, which of the following adjustments will NOT maintain the completion date of Activity C at Day 40?
Which of the following project planning situations is the most frequent contributor to cost overruns?
Which is NOT an industry-recognized methodology for quantifying critical delay?
Prior to the beginning work on Activity 6001, the scope is changed by executed change order to increase the activity duration by thirty days and rock fill by 100.000 cubic meters If the project has progressed as scheduled up to the point of the executed change order, what activities would be changed on the next project update?
Using the normal schedule, given Activity 3001 and the relationship with Activity 4001. what is indicated?
In its simplest form, what is the main drawback of critical path method scheduling?
When reconstructing a CPM schedule electronically from a hardcopy, which of the following is NOT required to determine the critical path?
Using the "normal" schedule, if you start Activity 7001 on April 1, 2002, and using a 5-day workweek, what the finish date for Activity 7001?
As a change to the network for the current update, activity 6002 is required to begin ten days after the beginning of activity 6001. Which is the simplest logic organization?
