Solution
Please follow the data and description :
1) A critical path refers to a term that is related to the field of project management describing a
set of tools and a methodology. In a simpler term, the critical path is the sequence of tasks that
will take the longest to complete to deliver the project.
So the answer is OPTION B (a sequence of task activities whose order and durations directly
affect the completion date of a project.)
2) A scheduling technique where the order and duration of the sequence of activities directly
affect the completion date of a project refers to the critical path scheduling.
So the answer is OPTION A (critical path scheduling).
3) A technique that uses optimistic, pessimistic, and realistic time to calculate the expected time

evident later in the project, an unforeseen change in personnel due to sickness, resignation, or
termination.
So the answer is OPTION E (All of these).
8) Determining the strengths and weaknesses of project deliverables, the processes used to create
them, and the project management process is done during conducting post project reviews.
So the answer is OPTION C (conducting post project reviews.)
