PK0-004 Question #404: Real Exam Question with Answer & Explanation

The correct answer is D: Critical path method. The Critical Path Method (CPM) is a deterministic scheduling technique that focuses on the duration of each activity to identify the longest path through the project network (the critical path) and calculate float/slack for all non-critical activities. PERT (A) uses probabilistic

Question

Which of the following network scheduling techniques is focused mainly on the duration and stack of each activity?

Options

AProgram evaluation review technique
BPrecedence diagramming method
CArrow diagramming method
DCritical path method

Explanation

The Critical Path Method (CPM) is a deterministic scheduling technique that focuses on the duration of each activity to identify the longest path through the project network (the critical path) and calculate float/slack for all non-critical activities. PERT (A) uses probabilistic time estimates (optimistic, pessimistic, most likely) to handle uncertainty. The Precedence Diagramming Method (B) defines logical relationships between tasks (Finish-to-Start, Start-to-Start, etc.). The Arrow Diagramming Method (C) uses arrows to represent activities. CPM is specifically designed around duration analysis and slack calculation.
