PMP Question of the Week: Critical Path Method

The correct answer is D.

Crashing or fast tracking should be done by the project manager to eliminate negative float. Negative float means the project will deliver after an imposed deadline, so it is behind schedule.

With answer A, a dummy represents a logical relationship, so it can be run over by a critical path. With B, a project can have more than one critical path, which makes it riskier. Answer C is also true because any time that the project’s current performance is later that the approved schedule baseline, the project is experiencing negative slack.
