1.	One reason for project failure is taking shortcuts through or around the methodology. A. True B. False

2.	Scope creep is the uncontrolled addition of technical features to a system under development without regard to schedule and budget. A. True B. False

3.	Feature creep is the unexpected growth of user expectations and business requirements for an information system as a project progresses. A. True B. False

4.	A project is a sequence of unique, complex, and connected activities, having one goal or purpose and that must be completed by a specific time, within budget, and according to specification. A. True B. False

5.	Frederick Brooks, in his book The Mythical Man-Month (1975), suggests that adding more people to a late project only makes it later because the additional communication requirements causes the project to get further behind in schedule. A. True B. False

6.	Over-optimism is the tendency to promote technicians into management before they are ready for management responsibilities. A. True B. False

7.	The basic functions of a project manager include scoping the project, planning project tasks and staffing the project team, organizing and scheduling the project effort, and directing and controlling the project. A. True B. False

8.	On a Gantt chart, the vertical axis is a calendar timeline. A. True B. False

9.	Scoping identifies the amount of time it will take to complete a project. A. True B. False

10.	A PERT chart is a graphical, network model that depicts a project's tasks and the relationships between those tasks. A. True B. False

11.	Gantt charts were developed to make clear the interdependence between project tasks before those tasks are scheduled. A. True B. False

12.	Defining the scope of a project can occur at any point in time during the project life cycle. A. True B. False

13.	A work breakdown structure (WBS) is a hierarchical decomposition of the project into phases, activities and tasks. A. True B. False

14.	A milestone is the same thing as a task. A. True B. False

15.	Pessimistic duration is the estimation of the maximum amount of time that it would take to perform a task. A. True B. False

16.	The most likely duration of a project task is usually computed as a weighted average of the three estimates of duration: optimistic, pessimistic, and expected. A. True B. False

17.	Reverse scheduling establishes a project deadline and then schedules backward from that date. Tasks, their duration, interdependencies and resources must be considered to ensure that the project can be completed by the deadline. A. True B. False

18.	Backward scheduling establishes the start date and then a project manager schedules the tasks in reverse order of date required. A. True B. False

19.	Joint project planning is a strategy used to correct resource over-allocations by some combination of delaying or splitting tasks. A. True B. False

20.	An expectations management matrix is how management initially determines how to schedule resources and people to tasks on a project. A. True B. False
