Which document typically contains the required delivery dates for project milestones?

The resource breakdown structure

The statement of work (SOW) or contract

A project manager is analyzing a schedule that has a critical path of 45 days. However, a key resource is only available for 30 days during the project, which would delay the critical path to 55 days. The project sponsor has set a hard deadline of 50 days. What should the project manager do to produce a feasible schedule?

Extend the project deadline to 55 days to match the resource constraint.

Add more resources to the critical path activities to compress the schedule to 50 days.

Remove the resource constraint and use the original 45-day critical path.

Accept the 55-day schedule and inform the sponsor the deadline cannot be met.

In the critical chain method, what is the primary focus when identifying the critical chain?

The longest path considering only task dependencies

The longest chain of dependent activities considering both task dependencies and resource constraints

The path with the highest risk of delay

The path with the most activities

What is the purpose of performing a forward pass in critical path method (CPM) analysis?

To calculate the latest start and finish dates for each activity

To allocate resources to activities based on availability

To determine the earliest start and finish dates for each activity

To identify the critical path by finding activities with zero total float
