Question 1 of 30
1. Question
You are an HR representative and have been asked by your firm to assist a certain manager in sequencing the activities for a certain project. Which among the following is not true for sequence activities process?
Correct
Sequence Activities is the process of identifying and documenting relationships among the project activities. The key benefit of this process is that it defines the logical sequence of work to obtain the greatest efficiency given all project constraints. Every activity and milestone except the first and last should be connected to at least one predecessor with a finish-to-start or start-to-start logical relationship and at least one successor with a finish-to-start or finish-to-finish logical relationship. Logical relationships should be designed to create a realistic project schedule. It may be necessary to use lead or lag time between activities to support a realistic and achievable project schedule. Sequencing can be performed by using project management software or by using manual or automated techniques.

Question 4 of 30
4. Question
You are a project manager in a firm and are currently on the stage of sequencing the activities for your project. You have decided to use precedence diagramming method for this. Which among the following defines PDM?
Correct
The precedence diagramming method (PDM) is a technique used for constructing a schedule model in which activities are represented by nodes and are graphically linked by one or more logical relationships to show the sequence in which the activities are to be performed. Activity-on-node (AON) is one method of representing a precedence diagram. This is the method used by most project management software packages.

Question 12 of 30
12. Question
You are currently handling the activity sequencing process. You have to decide the mandatory dependencies for the project. Which among the following defines mandatory dependency?

Question 14 of 30
14. Question
You are currently handling the activity sequencing process. You have to decide the discretionary dependencies for the project. Which among the following defines discretionary dependency?
Correct
Discretionary dependencies are sometimes referred to as preferred logic, preferential logic, or soft logic. Discretionary dependencies are established based on knowledge of best practices within a particular application area or some unusual aspect of the project where a specific sequence is desired, even though there may be other acceptable sequences. Discretionary dependencies should be fully documented since they can create arbitrary total float values and can limit later scheduling options. When fast tracking techniques are employed, these discretionary dependencies should be reviewed and considered for modification or removal.
