Which 14-Point Schedule metric measures the efficiency required
to complete a milestone on time? correct answers Critical Path Length Index (CPLI)
Which 14-Point Schedule metric consists of incomplete tasks with
missing predecessor and/or successor tasks, and helps determine
how well or poorly schedule tasks are linked together? correct answers Logic
Prior to using the 14-Point Schedule Metrics, the number of tasks
with a baseline finish date on or before the reporting period end
date needs to be calculated. This describes which of the following
data types? correct answers Baseline Count
Which time constraint solution is best used when there are
activities on the critical path that can be completed faster by
adding resources? correct answers "Crashing" the schedule
Which schedule time constraint solution is best used when it is realistically possible to conduct
certain tasks at the same time? correct answers Conducting some tasks concurrently
Which of the following components of the Precedence Diagramming Method (PDM) is
identified by locating the automatically generated red bars? correct answers Critical Path
Consider the differences among the three types of network schedules. Which network schedule
uses the "Activity-on-Arrow" method, and which network schedule uses the "Activity-on-Node"
method? correct answers Arrow Diagram Method (ADM), Precedence Diagramming Method
(PDM)
,Consider the differences among the three types of network schedules. Which network schedule
uses three time estimates ,and which network schedule uses only one time estimate? correct
answers Program Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT), Arrow Diagram Method (ADM)
In a Gantt chart, which of the following is signified by a solid black bar underneath a red,
crosshatched bar? correct answers Critical Task, In Progress
What is the difference between an intermediate schedule and a detailed schedule? correct
answers Intermediate schedules tie, or roll up, the detailed tasks in the detailed schedules to key
events and milestones in the summary schedule(s); whereas detailed schedules graphically depict
the effort at the work package and planning package level.
Summary schedules graphically depict the contractually required events and milestones to
accomplish program objectives, whereas detailed schedules do what? correct answers
Graphically depict the effort at the work package and planning package level
You are estimating how long it will take to complete component testing of your junction box.
Historically, there has been a relationship between the number of cables, the number of pins in
each cable, and the amount of time it took to test a junction box. 9-pin cables took 30 minutes,
15-pin cables took 45 minutes, and 32-pin cables took 90 minutes. You have five 9-pin cables
and two 32-pin cables. You use this information to help estimate the time to complete the testing.
Which type of estimating technique is most appropriate in this situation? correct answers
Parametric Estimate
Which task dependency is the rarest type of schedule relationship and involves the successor not
being able to finish until the predecessor starts? correct answers Start-to-Finish (SF)
Which task dependency involves the successor not being able to start until the predecessor starts?
correct answers Start-to-Start (SS)
How does the Integrated Master Schedule (IMS) extend from the information provided in the
Integrated Master Plan (IMP)? correct answers The IMP shows what accomplishments and
criteria need to be met, and the IMS breaks those criteria down into specific scheduled tasks.
, Which element is the foundation for the contractor's management efforts to develop and deliver
the product? correct answers Work Package
What is the lowest level of detail at which the cost and schedule for the work can be estimated?
correct answers Work Package
Which common element would include system requirements and architecture definition? correct
answers Systems Engineering
An administrative engineering is what type of common element? correct answers Integration,
Assembly, Test, and Checkout
A technical publication is what type of common element? correct answers Data
During the Materiel Solution Analysis (MSA) phase, proactive
activities to prevent technical risks focus on which of the
following? correct answers Developing requirements
Engineers are working on a fix to a seismometer that does not
meet the sensitivity requirements. Their research has shown
gradual improvement in the item's performance, though there is no
guaranteed date when the item will perform as required. What
would be an appropriate step to tracking the resolution of this
issue? correct answers Monitor the issue to collect actual vs. planned cost, schedule, and
performance information and review
the issue at regular meetings.
What would be the appropriate corrective action for the following
