   A project manager is evaluating the impact of a potential two-week delay in a non-critical activity that has four weeks of total float. The delay is caused by a supplier issue that is likely to recur. What is the most appropriate action?

   • AUpdate the baseline to reflect the new dates and inform stakeholders of a project delay.
   • BIgnore the delay because the activity has enough float and the risk is unlikely to materialize again.
   • CDocument the risk and monitor the activity closely, as the delay consumes float but does not yet affect the critical path.
   • DImmediately crash the activity to recover the two weeks and restore the float.

   A project has an SPI of 1.05, but the critical path is two weeks behind schedule. The project manager must report to stakeholders. What is the most accurate interpretation?

   • AThe project is on schedule because the SPI is above 1.0 and the critical path delay is not significant.
   • BThe project is ahead of schedule overall, but the critical path delay may still impact the completion date.
   • CThe project is behind schedule because the critical path is behind, regardless of the SPI.
   • DThe SPI is incorrect because the critical path is behind schedule.

   During a weekly schedule review, a project manager notices that the actual progress of a task is consistently less than planned, but the SPI is still above 1.0. What is the most likely explanation?

   • AThe task is not on the critical path, and the SPI is being calculated using the total project, not the individual task.
   • BThe task is on the critical path, and the SPI is calculated using the baseline, not the current forecast.
   • CThe task's actual progress is being measured incorrectly, and the SPI is not reliable.
   • DThe task has a large amount of float, so the SPI is not affected by its progress.
