A Gantt chart is a method $($developed by Henry L$.$ Gantt$)$ of illustrating a project schedule and has been made very popular by project management applications such as Microsoft Project.

The logical dependencies between tasks are shown within a Gantt chart using arrows to connect the related tasks. Different types of arrows represent the different logical relationships that can exist between tasks.

The next three questions ask you to identify how Gantt charts represent the three most common types of task relationships.

The following is an example of what type of logical task relationship?

Question $1$ options:

Finish to Start $($FS$)$ relationship

Start to Start $($SS$)$ relationship

Start to Finish $($SF$)$ relationship

Finish to Finish $($FF$)$ relationship

Question $2($Mandatory$)(1$ point$)$

Identify the following task relationship:

Question $2$ options:

Start to Start $($SS$)$ relationship

Start to Finish $($SF$)$ relationship

Finish to Finish $($FF$)$ relationship

Finish to Start $($FS$)$ relationship

Question $3($Mandatory$)(1$ point$)$

Identify the following relationship:

Question $3$ options:

Finish to Start $($FS$)$ relationship

Start to Finish $($SF$)$ relationship

Start to Start $($SS$)$ relationship

Finish to Finish $($FF$)$ relationship

Question $4($Mandatory$)(1$ point$)$

Network diagrams are used to show a project's critical path.

The critical path refers to the sequence of activities that represent the longest path through a project plan, and therefore determines the shortest possible project duration.

Is it possible to have more than one critical path on a project?

Question $4$ options:

Yes $-$ more than one critical path through a project is possible, as long the project has multiple paths.

No $-$ a project cannot have more than one critical path. The critical path is defined as the shortest possible path through a project, and there can only be one shortest path.

Question $5($Mandatory$)(1$ point$)$

Along with deliverables and tasks, project schedules also have milestones.

Which of the following statements about project milestones is not true?

Question $5$ options:

Within Gantt charts, milestones are represented by diamond symbols like this:

Milestones are moments in time, and as such, do not have durations like tasks do$.$

A milestone is a significant point or event in a project, program, or portfolio.

For example, making a major decision might be considered a milestone.

A milestone can be used to show work assignments to project team members.

Question $6($Mandatory$)(1$ point$)$

Many different approaches to project management are now available to us$.$

These include:

Traditional

Agile

Extreme

But how do you know which one to use?

Which one of the following statements is correct?

Question $6$ options:

The selection of a project management approach is based on budget considerations.

The selection of a project management approach is based on how clear the project's objectives and solution are.

The selection of project management approaches should be based on the formal training and experience the project manager has received.

If they are most skilled with one approach over another, then the approach that they are most comfortable with should be used.

Selection of a project management approach should be made by the customer and is based on how quickly they want the project completed.

Question $7($Mandatory$)(1$ point$)$

One of the models used to describe team development was created by Bruce Tuckman and describes five stages of team development $($shown below$).$

Is it possible for a team to degress?

$($That is to say, to move backwards from the norming stage into a storming stage.$)$

Question $7$ options:

Yes $-$ while most teams do progress linearly through each stage, it is possible for events on a project to push a team back to an earlier stage.

No $-$ while it might be possible for a team to get stuck in a particular stage, it is not possible to go back a stage.

No $-$ according to Tuckman, teams only progress through the stages, and going backwards is not possible.

Question $8($Mandatory$)(1$ point$)$

In the earlier chapters we encountered a project charter, and in lesson $4$ we introduced a Statement of Work $($SOW$),$ which is a description of products, services, or results to be delivered by the project.

How does a statement of work differ from a project charter?

Question $8$ options:

A project charter is used to initiate a project. It is used primarily within an organization.

A statement of work is often used as part of the procurement process and is used to bring goods and services onto the project from outside the organization.

A project charter and a statement of work are essentially the same document $$ just a different name for it$.$

A statement of work can be used as a replacement for a p
