path or precedence relationship or crashing? Expediting the completion of a task or group of tasks, to finish a project sooner. Page 206 Click here for Hint

critical path The longest path through a project network; critical path or milestone or expected value? critical path The longest path through a project network; determines the length of the entire project. Page 201 Click here for Hint

deterministic Fixed and known in advance, representing a critical path or deterministic or expected value? deterministic Fixed and known in advance, representing a high level of certainty when planning. Page 192 Click here for Hint

expected value The mathematical expectation of a random expected value or probabilistic or Central Limit Theorem? expected value The mathematical expectation of a random variable, calculated as the weighted average of all possible values that may occur. Page 210 Click here for Hint

forward scheduling or backward scheduling or critical path? forward scheduling Starting an activity as soon as possible, regardless of its deadline. Page 204 Click here for Hint

path or precedence relationship or Gantt chart? Gantt chart A scheduling diagram that illustrates activities across a horizontal time line. Page 204 Click here for Hint

precedence relationship? immediate predecessor or milestone or precedence relationship? immediate predecessor A task that must be completed before another task can start. Page 190 Click here for Hint

crashing or incident or AON? A project with no previously planned timing and a high degree of dependence on its immediate environment for successful resolution. Page 191 Click here for Hint

iterative planning Adjusting plans at short intervals, to reflect backward scheduling or PERT or iterative planning? iterative planning Adjusting plans at short intervals, to reflect emerging information. Page 191 Click here for Hint

precedence relationship PERT or precedence relationship or path? precedence relationship A dependency between two tasks, usually requiring that one task be completed before the other task is started. Page 193 Click here for Hint

probabilistic Variable or not well standard normal distribution or incident or probabilistic? probabilistic Variable or not well known in advance; subject to randomness. This represents uncertainty in planning. Page 209 Click here for Hint
