Question

The amount of time an activity can be delayed and yet not delay the project is termed:_________

Answer 1

The correct answer is A. Total slack

Explanation:

Projects include multiple tasks or activities; moreover, each activity and the project itself have a specific due date. Besides this, activities can be delayed and this might affect or not the due date of the project. Indeed, some activities can have extra time without any effect on the date of the project, which is known as total slack or total float (delay in activities that does not delay the project.) Additionally, total slack is possible if activities or tasks are flexible, for example, if each task in a project should take 1 day and one of the tasks takes one day and a half, this can be compensated if another task takes less time. According to this, the correct answer is A.
