Interactive Quizzes

Engage in quick quizzes to reinforce what you've learned and check your comprehension.

Question 1

What is the least total float approach?

  • Allocating resources randomly
  • Prioritizing tasks with the least float
  • Ignoring activity durations

💡 Hint: Remember, float indicates how critical a task is to the project timeline.

Question 2

True or False: A critical path can change throughout the life of a project.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Think about how project dynamics can influence task relationships.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

You are managing a project with 5 activities. Activities A, B, and C are critical, while D and E have floats. If A and B need 1 crane each and can't start till Activity C is done, how will you allocate resources to minimize delays?

💡 Hint: What happens if cranes are allocated inefficiently?

Question 2

Consider a construction project that originally planned to finish in 20 days without constraints but hit resource limitations. If your new timeline extends to 29 days due to equipment scarcity, evaluate how transitioning the least float activities first helps alleviate future scheduling.

💡 Hint: How does prioritizing reduce risk in project management?
