Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

Soft logic can be completed in any order without affecting the outcome of the deliverables.

Soft logic is also known as preferential logic, preferred logic, and discretionary dependency. It is

defined on the basis of knowledge of best practices and standard procedures for the particular

application area. Soft logic is defined by the project management team based on well-

known practices in a specific desired sequence.

Answer options A, D, and C are incorrect. These are not valid definitions of soft logic.

Soft logic? Sounds like something a project manager would say to make their job sound more complicated than it is. I'll go with B.

Haha, I bet Tom wishes he could just "crash" the project activities and get it done faster! But I think B is the right answer.
