[All PMI-SP Questions]

You have created the project network diagram for your project. Management is reviewing the network diagram and they are curious as to why you have included levels of effort activities as start- to-start and finish-to-finish successor activities for work that uses particular manufacturing equipment. You explained that the levels of effort activities are maintained for the equipment. This relationship and scheduling scenario is also known as what term?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

The limit on each work is an organizational policy for each project. Policies, rules, and

organizational requirements are the enterprise

environmental factors.

Answer option D is incorrect. Organizational process assets are things that have been created for the

project manager, such as software,

templates, guidelines, and other resources that will assist the project manager in completing the

project.

Answer option C is incorrect. While this could be a resource limitation, it is not a valid project

management term. Resource leveling heuristics

or a project constraint would have been acceptable answers.

Answer option A is incorrect. Expert judgment happens, when the project manager relies on

someone with more knowledge on a topic to help

the project manager make the best project decision.

I’m confused about the difference between a subproject and a hammock activity. I should have reviewed that section more thoroughly.

I feel like "finish-to-start" is a common term, but it doesn't seem to fit this scenario with levels of effort.

I remember practicing a question about scheduling and equipment usage, and I think "hammock activity" was mentioned there too.

I think the term we're looking for might be "hammock activity," but I'm not entirely sure how it relates to levels of effort.

The key here is understanding how the levels of effort activities are being used to maintain the equipment scheduling. I think if I can wrap my head around that, the answer will become clearer.

I'm a bit confused by the wording of the question. Can the levels of effort activities really be both start-to-start and finish-to-finish successors? I'll need to review my notes to make sure I understand that concept.

I'm pretty confident this is a hammock activity. The way the question describes the relationship between the work and the equipment makes me think that's the right answer.

Okay, let's see. I remember learning about hammock activities in class, so that's the first option that comes to mind. But I'll need to double-check the definition to make sure it fits the scenario.

Hmm, this seems like a tricky one. I'll need to think carefully about the different scheduling relationships and how they apply to the levels of effort activities.

I dunno, maybe C) Subproject? If the manufacturing equipment is a separate part of the overall project, that could fit the description.

I'm going with A) Project management overhead. Maintaining those levels of effort activities sounds like an administrative task rather than a technical one.

D) Finish-to-Start seems like the most logical choice here. The levels of effort activities are being used as successors, which is a finish-to-start relationship.
