PMI-SP Exam - Topic 2 Question 74 Discussion

Actual exam question for PMI's PMI-SP exam
Question #: 74
Topic #: 2
[All PMI-SP Questions]

You are the project manager for your company. You are working with the activities defined in the figure below.

What will happen to your project if Activity F takes five additional days to complete than what was expected?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

An activity is an individual element of work that is logically linked to other activities to

form the schedule. Its primary characteristics include an overall duration based upon the resources

applied to it (manpower, material, and equipment), as well as a start and

completion date that is tied to a work calendar. It also has a relationship with other activities

(predecessors and successors).

Shifting to ACFI makes sense if F is delayed.

Totally agree, it’ll push us back by five days for sure!

Wait, how can we still be on time if F is delayed? Sounds off.

I think the float on Activity I could save us, though.

If Activity F takes five extra days, the project will definitely be late.

I’m leaning towards the idea that we might end up with two critical paths if F is delayed, but I need to double-check that concept.

I feel like there's a chance we could still finish on time because of the float on Activity I, but I can't recall the specifics.

I remember a practice question where we discussed critical paths, and I think if F is delayed, it could change the critical path.

I think if Activity F takes longer, it might push the whole project back, but I'm not sure if it's exactly five days late.

This seems straightforward. If Activity F is on the critical path, a 5-day delay will push out the project end date by 5 days. I'll select that option.

I'm a little confused by the question. I'll need to walk through the activity network and calculate the new project duration to determine the correct answer.

Okay, I think I've got this. If Activity F takes 5 more days, it will push out the critical path. I'll need to double-check the options to see which one best matches that scenario.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. I'll need to review the activity network and calculate the new critical path to see how it changes.

This looks like a classic critical path analysis problem. I'll need to carefully examine the activity dependencies and float to determine the impact.

Hmm, I'm not sure about this one. The DRS threshold or the resync throttling could also be factors, but I'm not totally sure how those would impact the backend IOPs. I'll need to think this through carefully.

This seems like a straightforward question about evaluating the effectiveness of requirements reviews. I think the key metrics we need are the number of defects found during the requirements review and the total number of defects attributable to requirements that were found throughout the testing process.

Ah, the joys of project management. It's like a game of Tetris, but with deadlines instead of blocks. I'll go with B and hope the client doesn't throw a fit.

Two critical paths? That's like having two left feet - it's just not going to work. D is definitely not the way to go here.

I don't know about you guys, but I'm feeling a bit float-y after looking at this question. All joking aside, I think C is the correct answer here.

Five extra days for Activity F? That's going to put a serious dent in the project's timeline. B is the way to go, no doubt about it.

Looks like Activity F is the culprit here. Shifting the critical path to ACFI seems like the obvious choice, but I wonder if the float on Activity I can really save the day.
