PK0-003 · Question #110

The project's network map has a loop with multiple project outcomes. This is the result of which of the following scheduling tools?

The correct answer is D. Graphical evaluation and review technique. A network map with loops and multiple potential outcomes is characteristic of the Graphical Evaluation and Review Technique (GERT), which allows for conditional logic and probabilistic branching.

Why each option

A network map with loops and multiple potential outcomes is characteristic of the Graphical Evaluation and Review Technique (GERT), which allows for conditional logic and probabilistic branching.

AEstablishing project schedule baselines

Establishing project schedule baselines is about freezing the approved schedule for performance measurement, not a technique for modeling complex network logic with loops.

BCritical Path Analysis

Critical Path Analysis (CPA) uses a deterministic approach to find the longest path through a network without loops or conditional branching, focusing on a single project outcome.

CCritical Chain Method

The Critical Chain Method (CCM) focuses on resource leveling and adding buffers to mitigate uncertainty, but it does not inherently create network diagrams with loops and multiple outcomes.

DGraphical evaluation and review techniqueCorrect

The Graphical Evaluation and Review Technique (GERT) is a network analysis technique that allows for probabilistic treatment of both network logic (e.g., loops and conditional branches) and activity duration estimates. This enables modeling complex projects with multiple possible outcomes and decision points.
