150 Waterfall Questions & Review: 31-40 (Schedule Management)

Master schedule planning, critical path, float, and control in predictive projects. Watch PMP Exam Prep video series: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLaZjaTadwi1sDBAXtUd6JI5_FUsIJjpAT How do predictive projects ensure on-time delivery through structured scheduling and baseline control? In this video, we’ll explore Waterfall Project Schedule Management, covering how project managers plan, sequence, estimate, and control activities to meet deadlines and manage dependencies effectively. This is the fourth video in our 15-part Waterfall Review & Question series. You’ll learn about Critical Path Method (CPM), float calculation, resource optimization, and schedule compression techniques such as fast tracking and crashing. Then, you’ll test your knowledge with 10 scenario-based practice questions (Questions 31–40) and detailed explanations. ✅ You’ll learn how to: • Define and sequence project activities using the Precedence Diagramming Method (PDM) • Estimate durations with techniques like bottom-up, analogous, and three-point estimating • Identify and analyze the critical path and calculate total and free float • Apply schedule compression and resource optimization effectively • Control schedule variance and manage baseline performance through earned value analysis By practicing these questions, you’ll gain confidence in building and controlling predictive project schedules — essential knowledge for PMP® exam success and real-world delivery.
