Question 2 of 7
2. Question
You are the project manager for an interior design project. You have added time between the primary activity and the painting activity. This is an example of which one of the following?
CorrectIncorrectHint
As you have added time between activities, this is an example of lag. Lag is always positive time, since you are adding time to the project schedule. Lead is negative time, since you are subtracting time between activities. You can remember lag as waiting time and lead as hurry-up time. Crashing adds resources, typically labor, to activities so that they can finish faster. You can remember crashing, because as you add people to the project work, they may crash into one another. Fast-tracking changes the relationship between activities so that they can finish faster. Fast-tracking also increases project risk.

Question 4 of 7
4. Question
A project manager is managing his second project. It started one month after the First and both are on-going. Though his first project is small, it seems to be growing in size every day. As each day passes, the project manager is beginning to feel more and more in need of help. The project manager has recently heard that there was another project in the company last year that is similar to his project. What should he do?
CorrectIncorrectHint
Description Here again, there are many things the project manager could do. Choice A is not the best choice, as the other project manager might not be an experienced mentor. His advice might not be adequate to help this project manager. Choice C is reactive, while a project manager should be proactive. Choice D is not the best choice. It would be helpful, but does not specially address the issues in the situation. If the PMO is contacted, the project managers can obtain historical information from many projects and have the assistance of someone whose job it is to help.

Question 6 of 7
6. Question
As senior project manager, you are asked to explain to the Board of Directors the benefits of a projectized structure as compared to a strong matrix structure. Your company has a long history of successful projects, but projects have now become highly business-critical. Which argument is best?
CorrectIncorrectHint
Description Projectized structure reduces the conflict over resources. In a projectized environment, the team members work for the project manager, eliminating conflict over assignments. Projectized structures may generally produce better results in some cases, but not always. Projectized structure generally does not make better use of project resources than the strong matrix approach. In a strong matrix approach, the project manager has considerable authority over the resources and can use them effectively. Projectized structure may allow better control over costs in some cases, but a strong matrix structure can also control costs effectively.
