8.Work Breakdown Structure (WBS): It must cover the elements of the
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\




project's end product or deliverable and also all the elements of the
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\




project, including: |\




1 Planning
2 Implementing the project |\ |\




3 Closing out the project. |\ |\ |\




It should be as specific as possible.
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\




9.Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) Level 1 first position: Represents
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\




the overall deliverable of the project.
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\




10.Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) Second position: Represents
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\




summary tasks within the overall deliverable or project.
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\

|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\




pack- ages that are discrete activities within each summary task within
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\




the overall deliver- able of a project.

12.PERT developing a schedule finish to start: Finish -
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\




Start Pulling cable can't start until installing conduit
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\




finishes
13.PERT developing a schedule Finish - Finish: finish -
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\




finish Labeling outlets cannot finish until testing finishes
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\

16.What are the three estimates used in PERT for each activity?:
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\




Optimistic, Most Likely, |\ |\




Pessimistic
17.What does the Optimistic estimate represent in PERT?: Lowest
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\




projected cost or fastest time |\ |\ |\ |\

, 21.EVM (Earned Value Management): A methodology that combines
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\




scope, schedule, and resource measurements to assess project
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\




performance and progress. |\ |\




22.EVM (Earned Value Management) calulation: EVM = (percentage
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\




complete x total project budget) |\ |\ |\ |\




23.Using budget to Determine project Performance: Once project has
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\




been started 2 areas will be monitored
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\




EV and AC. |\ |\
