  1. A construction project requires that concrete must cure for 72 hours before framing can begin. This waiting period is best represented as:

    Answer: A lag on the Finish-to-Start dependency

    Mandatory waiting time between activities is modeled as a lag on the Finish-to-Start relationship.

  2. Which output of the Sequence Activities process is a graphical representation of all scheduled activities and their logical relationships?

    Answer: Project schedule network diagram

    The project schedule network diagram is the key output showing activities and their dependencies graphically.

  3. A PMI-SP candidate reviews a network diagram and notices a 'dummy activity' represented by a dashed arrow. This construct is associated with which diagramming method?

    Answer: Arrow Diagramming Method (ADM)

    Dummy activities in ADM (also called Activity on Arrow) show logical dependencies without consuming resources or time.

  4. When sequencing activities, a scheduler uses 'best practices' from previous similar projects to define the preferred order of work. This represents which type of dependency?

    Answer: Discretionary internal

    Discretionary internal dependencies are based on knowledge of best practices within the team's domain and are within the team's control.

  5. Which input to the Sequence Activities process provides the project's high-level milestones that must be reflected in the network logic?

    Answer: Milestone list

    The milestone list identifies mandatory and optional milestones that constrain or guide how activities must be sequenced.

  6. An activity network shows Activity G with no successors. What term describes Activity G's position in the network?

    Answer: Terminal node (sink)

    An activity with no successors is called a terminal node or sink, representing the end of a network path.

  7. A scheduler is updating the network logic after a major scope change adds three new activities. Which document should be updated to formally capture these new sequencing relationships?

    Answer: Project schedule network diagram

    The project schedule network diagram must be updated whenever new activities are added or sequencing logic changes.
