DİPLOMATİK YAZIŞMA VE PROTOKOL - Deneme Sınavı - 9

To draw an AON project network, one needs to obey the following general rules:

The answer is E.

Burst activity: This activity has more than one activity immediately following it (more than one dependency arrow flowing from it). The answer is A.

In the backward pass, one begins with the last project activity/ies and goes along the other sequential activity/ies through the network through the first activity/ies. Moving from right to left, the predecessor activity times are subtracted from the activity times along the path to find the LS and LF. The answer is D.

In AOA diagrams, a dummy activity depicts the precedence relationships. It behaves as a link, but it is not a “real” activity, so it does not have time duration. In the following example, the requirement for dummy activities in an AOA network can be observed. The answer is D.

Total slack time is the maximum allowable delay that can occur for noncritical activities. Once this slack is used up, noncritical activities become critical and further delays of these activities will delay the project completion. The answer is A.

It is an activity with a specific and unique objective.

The major aim of the project is to satisfy the requirements of customers; to achieve this, a project needs to have some characteristics.

A project is not related with every day’s routine and repetitive/ordinary work. While the routine work, often called Business As Usual (BAU), occurs/repeats in cycles, a project is performed just once, and when the desired result is reached, the project ends.

What is not a Project? A project is not related with every day’s routine and repetitive/ordinary work. While the routine work, often called Business As Usual (BAU), occurs/repeats in cycles, a project is performed just once, and when the desired result is reached, the project ends.

Scope definition is the process of developing a detailed description of the project and product.

Milestone: A significant point or event in the project. A milestone is a point with zero duration that indicates a cumulative sequence of events while performing the project. It also symbolizes an important achievement in a project.

The WBS organizes and defines the total scope of the project, and represents the work specified in the current approved project scope statement (PMI®, 2008).

A work package may include several milestones.

In the project network, the logical sequence of project activities which sum up to the longest total duration, gives the “critical path.” The critical path is the shortest possible time to complete the project, which also includes the interdependencies of activities and their start and finish times. The project network gives information to the project managers with respect to whether the project is on time, within budget and the performance measure.

Merge activity: This is an activity that has more than one activity immediately preceding it (more than one dependency arrow flowing to it).

A project is not related with every day’s routine and repetitive/ordinary work. While the routine work, often called Business As Usual (BAU), occurs/repeats in cycles, a project is performed just once, and when the desired result is reached, the project ends.

All the options except E are the examples of ordinary work. Creating a new yoga video on Youtube is a project.

Writing the scope statement is done in the second phase of the scope management.

While developing project networks, there are two approaches that can be used: activity-on-node (AON) approach is one of the methods to be used. To draw an AON project network, one needs to obey certain rules. One of them is:

There should be no conditional statements between activities. Therefore, option A is NOT true.

Path: A sequence of connected, dependent activities.
