Chapter 08 Scheduling Resources and Costs

66. All projects are usually either time-constrained or resource-constrained. True False 67. To determine if a project is time-constrained or resource-constrained you would consult the project priority matrix. True False 68. Scheduling time-constrained projects focuses on the optimal utilization of resources. True False 69. All leveling techniques delay noncritical activities by using positive slack to smooth out the resource requirements. True False 70. Scheduling time-constrained projects focuses on resource utilization. True False 71. Scheduling resource-constrained projects focuses on completing the project as soon as possible under the given constraints. True False 72. Heuristics are used in resource-constrained projects to develop the optimal schedule. True False 73. The top priority in using heuristics to allocate scare resources is those activities with the smallest duration. True False 74. The critical path in a resource-constrained schedule can be a group of disjointed unconnected activities. True False 75. Splitting is a scheduling technique used to get a better schedule or better resource utilization.

Without a time-phased budget good project schedule and cost control are impossible. True False 77. Many companies are using outsourcing as a means for dealing with their resource allocation problems associated with managing multiproject resources. True False
