need things like good working conditions, a
satisfying personal life, and good relations with
their boss and coworkers - things he labeled
"hygiene factors."They don't motivate you,
but you need them before you can be
motivated. Until you have them, you don't
really care about "motivational factors" like
achievement, recognition, personal growth, or
career advancement.

7. You are managing a construction project. You have just finished defining your
activities and you are now estimating their durations. Obtaining government permits
is one of the project activities that is critical to the success of your project. You obtain
expert opinion regarding time requirements for this activity, and you have
determined that the duration will most likely be 15 days. It would be very optimistic
to expect to obtain the permits in 10 days. In addition, taking the current
environmental factors into consideration, it may take up to 30 days to obtain the
permits. What estimate should you use for this activity if you want to put more
weight on the most likely duration with a further 10 percent contingency reserve?
(Round to the nearest day.)
a. 17 Days
b. 18 Days
c. 20 Days
d. 33 Days
*Hint: Use the PERT formula to determine your initial estimate.
Sample PMP® Exam Question

8. The correct answer is B
As you want to put more weight on the most
likely estimate, you should use the PERT
formula for your initial estimate rather than
taking a simple average of the three values.
Your PERT estimate will be (10 + 4*15 + 30)
/ 6 = 16.67 days.Adding a 10 percent
contingency reserve to it will give 16.67*1.1
= 18.33 days. Rounding your estimate to the
nearest day will give 18 days.

technology, lack of background

to read the message due to its small font,
this is an example of noise for you.
