Test Practice Questions Session 7: Introduction to Project Planning and Network Analysis using PDM (AON) 6. 1. Briefly describe the term Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) and how would you create a WBS for a Project using an example 2. What are the key functions of a WBS? 3. Briefly explain the process of integrating Cost Breakdown Structure (CBS) and Organisational Breakdown Structure (OBS) with WBS 4. State the benefits of integrating WBS, OBS and CBS together in Project Management 5. What is a Linked Bar (Gantt) Chart? Use an appropriate sketch to explain your answer What are the two major categories of Scheduling Network Analysis? Briefly explain the difference between the two types of analysis 7. What are the key rules needed to be used when creating AON (Precedence diagram - PDM) logic- network? 8. What is a preceding activity? 9. What are the key elements would you estimate during the Network Analysis? 10. Define the following terms used in Network Analysis a. Dummy Activity b. Total Float 11. How would you identify a Critical Activity and the Critical Path during the Network Analysis? 12. What are the Four (4) Lag Factors? Briefly explain them using examples 13.
