Examine the figure given below.
In this project network diagram, what is the total float for Activity I?
The float for Activity I is three days. The early start for Activity I is Day 17 and the late start for
Activity I is Day 20. Therefore, the difference of
the early start and the late start reveals the float as three days. It is possible, and acceptable, to use
the difference of the early finish and the late finish to find the float, as the value will be the same
amount. Answer options B, D, and C are incorrect. These are not the valid calculation for the total
float.
You are the project manager of the GHY project. Your project has a BAC of $675,000 and is forty percent complete though you were supposed to be forty-five percent complete. Due to some errors early in the project, you had to spend $278,000 of your project's budget to reach this point. Management is asking for a variance report. What part of your project has the largest variance?
Your schedule variance is -$33,750. You can find this by using the formula earned value-
minus planned.
Answer option C is incorrect. Cost is not the largest variance in the project.
Answer option A is incorrect. Cost is not the largest variance in the project (it is -$8,000).
Answer option D is incorrect. -$20,000 is the variance at completion for the project.
You work as a project manager for BlueWell Inc. Some of the activities in your project are not being completed on time. You reviewed these activities with your project team and discovered that the time estimates for the project are much more aggressive than what they are actually experiencing in the completion of the activities. You elect to create a new schedule for the project. What project anagement process are you working with when you create a new target schedule?
In severe cases, new schedule duration estimates with new forecasted start and finish
dates are needed. In these instances, it is an example
of using the control schedule process.
Control schedule process is a method of monitoring the status of the project to update project
progress and deal with the changes to the
schedule baseline. It is concerned with:
Determining the current status of the project
Influencing the factors that create schedule changes
Determining that the project schedule has changed
Managing the actual changes as they occur
Control schedule is a component of the Perform Integration Change Control process.
Answer option D is incorrect. The activity resources would only address the addition or replacement
of resources needed to complete the
project work.
Answer option B is incorrect. This is a tempting choice, but new schedules are a part of the control
schedule process.
Answer option A is incorrect. Develop schedule is not the best choice for this question.
