---|---|
In a resource constrained project, the work must be finished by a certain time, or date, as efficiently as possible. | False |
There is, for almost all projects, usually a dominant constraint that serves as the final arbiter of project decisions. | True |
The best method for establishing the existence of resource conflicts across project activities uses resource-loading charts. | True |
The idea behind resource leveling is to avoid huge swings in utilization of labor and equipment. | True |
Because resource management is typically a multivariate, combinatorial problem (i.e., one that is characterized by multiple solutions involving literally dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of activity variables) truly correct answers are not possible. | False |
A resource loading table is created through identifying the project activities and the resources required for completion and applying this information to the project schedule baseline. | True |
Resource loading charts are used to display the amount of resources required as a function of time on a graph. | True |
If an activity can be split, only the functional portion of the original activity needs to be accomplished for the project to be fully completed. | False |
The problem of resource underutilization that a project manager faces when managing a single project disappears in the multi-project environment. | False |
In-process inventory represents the amount of work waiting to be completed but delayed due to unavailable resources. | True |
A project that must be finished by December 31st is: | time-constrained |

Which of the following would NOT typically be displayed in a resource loading table? | the expenses allocated to the activities |
A resource loading chart displays: | the amount of resources required as a function of time. |
Splitting activities refers to: | starting an activity, interrupting it to use a resource elsewhere, and then returning to work on the activity. |
The amount of work waiting to be completed but delayed due to unavailable resources is known as: | in-process inventory. |
Mathematical programming is sometimes used to generate optimal solutions to resource constrained problems in a multi-project setting but suffers from: | problem complexity. |
