Accepted Answer

Project schedule

Answer

The project schedule is the output that contains planned start and finish dates for all activities.

Question 3

A scheduler identifies that two activities on the critical path have a total float of zero. A third activity has total float of +3 days. What does this indicate?

Accepted Answer

The third activity can be delayed up to 3 days without delaying the project

Answer

Total float of +3 days means the activity can be delayed up to 3 days without delaying the project end date.

Question 4

When applying the critical chain method, buffers are placed at which locations?

Accepted Answer

At the end of the project and at feeding chain junctions

Answer

Critical chain method uses a project buffer at the end and feeding buffers where non-critical chains merge into the critical chain.
