CM 4101 FINAL PAPER 2025/2026 QUESTIONS WITH
SOLUTIONS MARKED A+
✔✔Work breakdown structure - ✔✔provides a framework for breaking a project down
into successively greater detail by level and organizing activities that make up a project.
✔✔wbs - ✔✔A ____ organizes the work of a project but does not address the
sequencing and the scheduling of project activities.
✔✔milestones - ✔✔are included in schedules to mark a particular point in time for
reference or measurement
✔✔True - ✔✔t or f: Milestones do not consume any time or resources
✔✔nodes - ✔✔_____ represent activities and may be drawn in any shape desired.
✔✔Lines - ✔✔____ represent activity links, which are used to represent the
dependencies between activities.
✔✔Lag time - ✔✔____ is the time that follows an activity or is delayed from the start or
finish of its predecessor
✔✔Lead time - ✔✔_____ is the time that precedes the start or finish of an activity.
✔✔Planning - ✔✔During which of the following process, questions such as what
acivities should be scheduled
✔✔False - ✔✔T of F: Using traditional barchars it' aliasseay to tel tie logic rebationships
betveen activites.
✔✔B - ✔✔Which of the following is correct regarding CPM and PERT?
Which of the following is correct regarding CPM and PERT?
A) The calculations in PM are non-deterministic and those in PERT are deterministic.
B) The calculations in CPM are deterministic and those in PERT are non-deterministic.
Probi ba li3
C) The calculations in both are deterministic.
d) The calculations in both are non-deterministic.
✔✔Five days after A is started, B can finish - ✔✔STF/5 meaning
, ✔✔EF= ES+Duration - ✔✔Early finish equation
✔✔FF= Late start-Early start - ✔✔Free float equation
✔✔LS= LF-Duration - ✔✔Late start equation
✔✔ES=(highest) previous EF - ✔✔ES equation
✔✔LF: lowest LS - ✔✔LF equation
✔✔Total float - ✔✔The maximum amount of time an activity can be delayed without
deglazing the project?
✔✔Free float - ✔✔The amount of time an activity can be delayed without impacting the
early start date of any of its immediate successors
✔✔Task B can't finish until task A has finished - ✔✔FF?
✔✔Task B can't start until task A has finished - ✔✔FS?
✔✔Task B can't start until task A has started - ✔✔SS
✔✔Task B can't finish until task A has started - ✔✔SF?
✔✔False - ✔✔T or F: A Free Float is determined as being the sum of the total float of
the following activity and the associated link lag value.
✔✔E - ✔✔Choose all that are true to a non-critical activity (Assume the total float of
critical activities is zero).
a) Total float is equal to zero.
b) Total float is smaller than free float.
c) Free float is always equal to zero.
d) Lag is always equal to zero.
e) None of the above
✔✔Activities - ✔✔A precedence diagram uses nodes to represent what?
✔✔B may stay 5 days after A is finished - ✔✔FS/5?
✔✔One day after A is finished, B must be finished. - ✔✔FF/1?
✔✔The latest of the early finish times - ✔✔The early activity start is determined by?
