Answers

1. Answer A
2. Answer A
3. Answer D
4. Answer: B
5. Answer: C Activity attributes are an input for project schedule development; therefore, the scheduling information is not a part of the activity attribute.
6. Answer: A. Project document updates is an output to all processes in Project Time Management process area except Define Activities.
7. Answer: A
8. Answer: B
9. Answer: A
10. Answer: D Note that this dependency can be represented by both ADM and PDM techniques.
11. Answer: C
12. Answer: C
13. Answer: A
14. Answer: B
15. Answer: A One of the outputs of Estimate activity resources is Activity Resource Requirements. Sequence Activities establishes logical dependencies between activities. Activity Resource requirements do not play an important role in determining the sequence.
