PMI-SP Activity Sequencing 3

Question 1

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

Accepted Answer

A lag on the Finish-to-Start dependency

Answer

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

Question 2

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

Accepted Answer

Project schedule network diagram

Answer

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

Question 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?

Accepted Answer

Arrow Diagramming Method (ADM)

Answer

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

Question 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?

Accepted Answer

Discretionary internal

Answer

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

Question 5

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

Accepted Answer

Milestone list

Answer

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