A schedule has several goals. Which of the goals below are correct?

	establishing the total duration (determining the end time)
	assessing and establishing the consequences of delays in a certain activity
	determining the costs of the project (people and resources)
	listing all the activities that must be done

One or more answers are correct.

	Statement I:	To establish the total duration of a project, the end time of the project is taken as the departure point, and scheduling is carried out by 'counting backwards'.
	Statement II:	To establish the total duration of a project, the starting time is assumed and it is calculated how long the project will take.

	Both statements are true
	Statement I is true and statement II is false
	Statement I is false and statement II is true
	Both statements are false

	'As Soon As Possible' and 'As Late As Possible'
	'As Soon As Possible' and 'As Long As Possible'
	'As Small As Possible' and 'As Late As Possible'
	'As Small As Possible' and 'As Long As Possible'

	An activity that is not on the critical path has some slack.
	Delay in an activity on the critical path delays the whole project.
	If an activity that is not on the critical path overruns, the critical path can be shifted.
	There is only one critical path in the schedule.

	None.
	The project will take longer.
	The project will take less time.
	It is impossible to say.

	The total duration remains the same and two critical paths are created.
	The total duration is longer and the critical path remains the same.
	The total duration remains the same and the critical path remains the same.
	The total duration is longer and two critical paths are created.

	They indicate at what time an activity must begin and when it is over.
	The length of a bar is a measure of the duration of an activity.
	A Gantt chart makes use of arrows. An arrow is drawn for each dependency.
	The length of an arrow has no relation to duration.

	A – E – F
	A – C – D – F
	B – C – D – F
	A – C – D – E – F

	a circle as beginning and/or end point
	rectangles for milestones that have been realized
	vertical bars to indicate dependencies

	The arrows immediately make the duration visible.
	Manually producing a network diagram takes a long time.
	Manually making changes takes a long time.
	The arrows immediately make the dependencies visible.

	project team, Work Breakdown Structure, schedule
	schedule, project team, Work Breakdown Structure
	schedule, Work Breakdown Structure, project team
	project team, schedule, Work Breakdown Structure

	Statement I:	Planning software can indicate where the bottlenecks are.
	Statement II:	Planning software does not take into account the availability of staff and resources.

	finish to start
	start to start
	finish to finish
	start to finish

	As Late As Possible and As Soon As Possible
	As Late As Possible and Must Start On
	Must Start On and Start No Earlier Than
	Finish No Earlier Than and As Soon As Possible

	Apply the 'Do it now' principle.
	Plan weekly (and possibly daily).
	Determine which e-mails you will and will not answer.
