"TEN"ners for 8/2 as Match the following...

Hi All,


 


Please find "TEN"ners for 8/2/12. As again these are not the usual multiple choices but in the form of Match the following. What one needs to do is simpley write  1= A and 2 = B and so on as Answers.


 


Warmly, KK....


DEFINITIONS

Good Karthik. You are doing well. I would not say you are 100% correct still too good.


 


BTW, these were all on creating project schedule...

Hi All,


 


Great going.


 


And, as expected, RPS is true on all.


 


RPS, please explain how PDM is used as one-time estimate for schedule determination. Neither RD nor I understood it much. Though we could guess it right!


 


Thanks so much!


 


KK :) :) :)

 


As I understand


UNLIKE PERT (3POINT ESTIMATE TECHNIQUE) PDM HAS ONE TIME ESTIMATE FOR CALCULATING DURATION.


UNLIKE MONTE CARLO PDM, HAS NO ALTERNATIVE ESTIMATES OR DURATIONS.
