2You are the project manager of the NHQ Project. Management has set a conformance to the project schedule for your project at 0.95. What does this term mean?
- It means the largest schedule variance you can have is five percent.
- It is the earned value divided by the planned value for your project.
- It is the expectation of management to be 95 on schedule at 95 percent of the project.
- It means you will need to earn at least 95 cents per dollar invested in the project.
Answer: A
3You are the project manager of the NHQ Project. You have created the project network diagram as shown in the figure: Based on the project network diagram, how much float is available for Activity H if Activity B is delayed by four days and Activity D is delayed by two days?
- One
- Five
- Four
- Zero
Answer: D

Answer: D
5You are the project manager of the NHG. The following figure represents your project network diagram. Management has asked that you add some features to the project scope. Through the change control system these changes are approved and they'll affect
Activity I. The duration of Activity I, which is on the critical path, will decrease by three days. What affect does this have on the critical path?
- The critical path will now take 26 days.
- The critical path will now take 17 days.
- The critical path will now take 23 days.
- The critical path will now take 20 days.
Answer: C

Answer: C
9You have created the project network diagram for the ABC project. You are exploring total float and free float for that project. Martin, a project team member, wants to know the difference between total float and free float. What is the difference between total float and free float?
- Total float is the amount of time an activity can be delayed without delaying any project successors, whereas free float is the amount of time an activity can be delayed without delaying the project completion date.
- Total float is the amount of time an activity can be delayed without delaying the project completion date, whereas free float is the amount of time an activity can be delayed without delaying any project successors.
- Total float is the amount of time an activity can be delayed without delaying the project completion date, whereas free float is the amount of time an activity can be delayed without delaying any project predecessors.
- Total float is the amount of time a non-critical activity can be delayed without delaying any project successors, whereas free float is the amount of time an
Answer: B
