What else can I help you with?
What would you do if you got behind schedule with your part of a project?
rush on it
Which activities would you perform during project execution?
Documenting information about employee performance, which will be used to update the plan for managing human resources Recommending that the plan be changed so that an extra team can be hired to work at night, when work falls behind schedule Supervising the construction schedule
What characteristic would a project schedule need in order to qualify as a schedule baseline?
start and finish dates for each activity
How would you address the conflict with regards to your project schedule?
You have various options: * Get more resources * Defer one of the tasks * Work overtime And don't forget to inform everybody that the project schedule has slipped.
How would you know if a project was on schedule?
To determine if a project is on schedule, you can compare the current progress against the project timeline and milestones outlined in the project plan. Regularly reviewing project status updates and conducting progress meetings can help identify any delays or issues. Additionally, utilizing project management tools to track tasks and deadlines can provide a clear visual representation of the project's timeline adherence. If deliverables are completed on time and milestones are met, the project is likely on schedule.
What are two techniques that can be used to compress the Project Schedule?
Crashing - This is a project schedule compression technique in which cost and schedule tradeoffs are analyzed to decrease the project duration with minimal additional cost. A number of alternatives are analyzed, including the assignment of additional resources. Approving overtime pay for project resources is another example of crashing.Fast tracking - This is a project schedule compression technique used to decrease the project duration by performing project phases or some schedule activities within a phase in parallel that would normally be performed in sequence. For example, testing of a product can start when some of its components are finished, rather than waiting for the whole product to be completed.
What baselines would you include in a performance measurement baseline?
A performance measurement baseline typically includes the cost baseline, schedule baseline, and scope baseline. The cost baseline details the project's budget, the schedule baseline outlines project milestones and deadlines, and the scope baseline defines the project's deliverables and requirements. These baselines serve as a reference for measuring and comparing actual project performance.
What are the options available to the Project Manager to reduce the duration of the project?
Schedule compression is an attempt to shorten the project schedule without changing the project scope. It may be necessary in order to deal with schedule-related constraints and objectives. It is true that you, the project manager, build the schedule through cold, hard mathematical analysis, and you don't just accept whatever schedule goals come down the pipeline from elsewhere (usually the top), such as from the customer or the project sponsor. However, once you have the schedule built through analysis, you can attempt to accommodate some critical stakeholder expectations or hard deadlines, such as a predetermined project finish date.In the previous section we already saw about Resource Leveling that can be used to accommodate hard deadlines for certain activities. There are two other techniques that can be used for compressing the project schedule. They are:Crashing - This is a project schedule compression technique in which cost and schedule tradeoffs are analyzed to decrease the project duration with minimal additional cost.

How would you assess the preparation feasibility relevance and schedule of the project in question?
This is usually asked for on letters of recommendation. All this means is how well you prepared, scheduled, and executed your plan for the specific project.
What is a project constraints?
A constraint is a restriction (or a limitation) that can affect the performance of the project. For example, there could be a schedule constraint that the project must be completed by a predetermined date. Similarly, a cost constraint would limit the budget available for the project. IT is usually noted down in the Project Charter and tracked throughout the life of the project
Why would a project manager benefit from distinguishing between primary tasks and dependent tasks?
This would enable the manager to draft a dependency schedule -Apex
What is constraints in project management?
A constraint is a restriction (or a limitation) that can affect the performance of the project. For example, there could be a schedule constraint that the project must be completed by a predetermined date. Similarly, a cost constraint would limit the budget available for the project. Constraints are usually identified at a high level when the Project charter is written
