The scheduling tool is used in combination with manual methods or further project management

software to carry out the schedule network

analysis to produce an updated project schedule.

Answer option C is incorrect. The project management information system is the complete project

management software package beyond just

the scheduling portion.

Answer option D is incorrect. This is not a valid answer.

Answer option A is incorrect. While the software may be made available as a part of organizational

process assets, the best answer is the

scheduling tool.

I'm a little confused on this one. Is Microsoft Project considered a Project Management Information System or just a scheduling tool? I'll have to review my notes to make sure I understand the difference between those two concepts.
