Question #: 50
Topic #: 6

[All C_TS412_2021 Questions]

You used reductions to reduce the scheduled duration of all internally-processed activities in your project. However, the duration did not changed after overall network scheduling. What do you check? Note: There are 2 correct answers to this question

AIf the maximum reduction level is less than 100

BIf the reduction strategy is set in the network header

CIf the reduction strategy is set in each activity

DIf the appropriate reduction type is set in the parameters for network scheduling

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A, D

The possible reasons to check if reductions did not reduce the scheduled duration of all internally-processed activities in your project after overall network scheduling are if the maximum reduction level is less than 100 or if the appropriate reduction type is set in the parameters for network scheduling. Reductions are functions that allow you to reduce the scheduled duration of activities and networks by changing their work or capacity requirements based on various strategies and criteria. Reductions can help you optimize your project schedule and meet deadlines or milestones. The possible reasons to check if reductions did not reduce the scheduled duration of all internally-processed activities in your project after overall network scheduling are:

If the maximum reduction level is less than 100: The maximum reduction level is a parameter that defines how much an activity or a network can be reduced as a percentage of its original duration. The maximum reduction level can be specified in Customizing for Project System under Structures Operative Structures Networks Define Reduction Strategies

I thought it was all about the activity settings, though.

Don't forget about the reduction type in the scheduling parameters!

Wait, can the max reduction level really be less than 100?

I'm a bit confused about where to check for the reduction strategy. Is it really necessary to set it for each activity, or can it just be in the network header?

I feel like the reduction type in the scheduling parameters could be important too. We discussed that in class, right?

I think we might need to verify if the maximum reduction level is set correctly. That sounds familiar from our practice questions.

I remember something about checking the reduction strategy, but I'm not sure if it should be in the network header or for each activity.

This seems straightforward. The key is to make sure the reduction strategy is set properly, either in the network header or for each individual activity. And the reduction type used for scheduling needs to be appropriate. I'll mark those two options.

Alright, I think I've got an idea. If the reductions didn't change the duration, it could mean the maximum reduction level is less than 100% or the reduction strategy isn't set correctly. I'll double-check those options.

I'm a bit confused on this one. I know reductions are used to shorten activity durations, but I'm not sure why that wouldn't impact the overall network scheduling. I'll need to review my notes on this topic.

Okay, let's see here. The question is asking what we should check if the duration didn't change after applying reductions. I'm thinking it might have to do with the reduction strategy or the reduction type used.

Haha, this is a classic case of 'Garbage in, Garbage out'! You gotta make sure the settings are right in both the header and the individual activities. B and C are the way to go.

I'm going with B and D. If the reduction strategy is not set correctly in the network header and the parameters, it won't make a difference. This is like trying to run a marathon with your shoes on the wrong feet!

I think the answer is B and C. The reduction strategy needs to be set in the network header and in each activity for it to take effect. Anything less than 100% reduction won't change the overall duration.
