   What does 'float' mean in project management?

   Hint

   Think of float as a type of buffer time.

2. 2.

   What is the critical path?

   Hint

   It defines how delays affect the entire project timeline.

3. 3.

   What does float represent in a project schedule?

   • The maximum time a project can run
   • The time an activity can be delayed without affecting the project
   • The total duration of the project

   Hint

   Consider how project timelines can adjust without a full delay.

4. 4.

   True or False: The critical path includes all activities in the project.

   • True
   • False

   Hint

   Think about which tasks are essential to maintain time.

5. 5.

   A project has activities A through E. Activity A has a duration of 4 days and a float of 2 days, B has a float of 0 days, C 1 day, D 3 days, and E 2 days. How would you prioritize resource allocation?

   Hint

   The critical tasks must be done first to avoid significant delays.

6. 6.

   A construction project encounters a delay on the critical path that increases activity B's duration from 5 days to 8. What are potential strategies to adjust the schedule?

   Hint

   Think about how reallocating resources can help recover lost time.
