what level fits best with this image
- level 1 - Answer- - summarize overall project
- start & finish dates for major phases & key milestones
what level fits best with this image: level 2 - Answer- - preconstruction
- starts to focus on the primary activities and task by trade, looks at critical
components
what level fits best with this image : level 3 - Answer- - critical path
in this course, a critical path method is utilized, and will have a start and finish dates
and links for all activities. also called - Answer- level 3
in this course for level 3 construction the duration is set to - Answer- not be longer
than 10 days
Activities are represented daily and often called a three or four week "___" ecasue it
has weekly input from all trades - Answer- look-ahead
T/F: tasks can be in any phase of the project or any schedule level - Answer- True
Generally tasks can be in any phase of the project, to define a tasks two factors are
required - Answer- task-dependent, resource-dependent
a zero duration on the project that are important to watch - Answer- milestones
a task with fixed dates and duration, should not have predecessors or successors -
Answer- deadlines/constraints
what are the five keys to successful teams? - Answer- - established roles and
responsibilities
- defined goals and objectives
, - know the system in which you are working
- identify problems and barriers
- know your people
how can quantity of work be examined - Answer- SF, LF, EA, CY
define the term
- the average efficiency of a standard crew in a task - Answer- production rate
weather, congested space, area layout, material handling, crew expertise, safety
requirements, complexity are all factors for ___ - Answer- productivity
work hours = - Answer- quantity of work/production rate
adjusted work hours = - Answer- work hours x productivity factor
activity duration = - Answer- adjusted work hours / hours per workday
gantt charts - Answer- bars show the relationship between tasks
T/F: Testing assumption is key in the logical analysis phase of critical thinking -
Answer- TRUE
in project management describe activitiesthat depend upon one another to proceed.
These dependencies amongactivities will determine the order in which the project
plan proceeds.Predecessors in project management are activities that must begin
orend before a successor task can proceed. - Answer- predecessors and successors
which scheduling relationship types do we use in this class? - Answer- Finish to
Start,
Start to Start, Finish to Finish
which scheduling link extends duration without any critical paths? - Answer- float
which scheduling link has two activities that have delay but it not careful could
become critical - Answer- lags
which scheduling link used level 3 scheduling where you put a specific date for that
activity to start of finish, if not it is considered a delay - Answer- constraints
SS, FF, FS are also called - Answer- logic relationship
the amount of time required to complete a task in work days - Answer- duration
activities with no float connected to determine the amount of time to complete the
project - Answer- critical path
float is called - Answer- free float, total float
which software calls the schedule level tasks - Answer- MP
