A construction project has four paths through its network diagram. Path A takes 42 days, Path B takes 38 days, Path C takes 45 days, and Path D takes 40 days. The project sponsor asks the project manager for the earliest date the project can be completed. What should the project manager report?

38 days, because that is the shortest path and represents the fastest possible completion

45 days, because that is the longest path through the network

40 days, because that is the median path duration

42 days, because that is the average of the four path durations

What does a Schedule Performance Index (SPI) of 0.8 indicate?

The project is ahead of schedule by 20%

The project is under budget by 20%

The project is progressing at 80% of the planned rate

The project is over budget by 20%

In a project network diagram, which activities are considered critical?

Activities that have zero total float

Activities that are the first in the network

Activities that have the most dependencies

Activities with the longest individual duration

What is the primary purpose of a Work Breakdown Structure (WBS)?

To list all project risks and their mitigation strategies

To decompose the total scope of work into manageable sections
