Question

When activity times are uncertain, total project time is normally distributed by considering the overall mean being equal to the sum of the means of all of the critical activities. Group of answer choices True False

Answer 1

Answer: True

Explanation:

Management scientists developed the Project Evaluation and Review Technique(PERT) and Critical Path Method(CPM) to help organizations plan, schedule and control large projects like building a hospital or construction of a big factory.

The techniques are used in project management to get the duration a project will take before it's completed. The project evaluation and review technique gives room for uncertainty in activity durations through the use of statistical assumptions. In instances where the activity times are not certain, the amount of total time the project will take is normally distributed by considering that the total mean is equal to the addition of the means of all the critical activities.

Answer 2

Answer:

The statement is: True.

Explanation:

Project scheduling is the activity by which a company lists all the activities necessary to accomplish an objective and determines the length of each activity to find out the total time the project should take. The outcome is a document that allows managers and investors to find out when the plan should be finished. The activities, then, must be carried out following the schedule to deliver the work on time.

In case some of the activities' length is uncertain an average estimated for critical duties is set and multiplied by the total number of activities. The result will be the time it will take to complete the project.
