  1. What is the critical path in project management?

    Answer: Longest sequence of dependent tasks determining minimum duration

    The critical path determines the shortest possible project duration; delays on it delay the project.

  2. What is scope creep?

    Answer: Uncontrolled expansion of scope without adjusting time or cost

    Scope creep is uncontrolled growth through incremental unapproved changes.

  3. Which methodology uses time-boxed sprints?

    Answer: Scrum

    Scrum uses fixed-length sprints (2-4 weeks) to deliver product increments.

  4. What is a Work Breakdown Structure (WBS)?

    Answer: Hierarchical decomposition of deliverables into work packages

    WBS breaks total scope into manageable work packages for planning and estimation.

  5. What is earned value management (EVM)?

    Answer: Measuring performance by comparing planned work, completed work, and actual costs

    EVM integrates scope, schedule, and cost data for objective performance measurement.

  6. What is a project charter?

    Answer: Formal authorization document with initial requirements and stakeholders

    A charter formally authorizes the project, names the PM, and documents high-level requirements.
