Are you good at your job and want to prove it? Do you wish to enhance your skill in Project Control? This is an opportunity you really do not want to miss – The Guild of Project Control has appointed an independent examiner (PeopleCert) to conduct a “Beta Test” for 200 candidates globally who are prepared to take the test and can give feedback on the test. PMtutor is giving 10 qualified candidates the opportunity to write the exam in our office on Wednesday 5th of August 2015. There will be no cost to the candidate for taking the exam and all candidates who pass the exam will be eligible to receive the Certification in Foundation Level, Planning and Scheduling, once they have joined the Guild as a member.
Please, kindly send CV or Resume to “support@pmtutor.org” with the subject: “Beta Test” before Wednesday 15th July, 2015 and we will get back to ASAP regarding procedures and formalities to write the exam.
Please Note: Priority will be given to those who have undergone any form of Project Management Training with PMtutor
Sample Beta Questions
Sample 1 – Sequence the following steps in the order recommended to build a credible schedule.
a) Identify available resources and productivities
b) Establish scheduling requirements
c) Create the logical relationships
d) Finalise WBS, CBS, RBS, control accounts, and activity codes e) Identify the schedule activities
f) Calculate the early/late dates, critical path, and completion dates
g) Optimize the schedule within or to meet the constrained or imposed parameters
h) Calculate the duration of each activity
Sample 2 – There are 6 types of date constraints found in most software packages. Match the definition that you believe to be the “most true” or “most complete” for each of the 6 types of constraints next to the name of that constraint. NOTE: It is possible that the same definition can apply to more than one constraint.
| Name of Constraint | Definition of Constraint |
| 1) Must Start On or
Mandatory Start;
2) Must Finish On or Mandatory Finish;
3) Start No Earlier Than or Start On or Before:
4) Start No Later Than or Start On or After;
5) Finish No Earlier Than or Finish On or Before:
6) Finish No Later Than or Finish On or After; |
a) Applies on BOTH the forward and backwards pass. Overrides all
logic. This constraint affects the late dates for all activities that lead to the constrained activity and all early dates for the activities that lead from the constrained activity.
b) Applies on BOTH the forward and backwards pass. Overrides all logic. This constraint affects the late dates for all activities that lead to the constrained activity and all early dates for the activities that lead from the constrained activity.
c) This constraint only affects late dates and can decrease total float. This constraint applies only on the backwards pass.
d) This constraint affects only early dates. This constraint applies only on the forward pass only.
e) This constraint affects only late dates. This constraint applies only on the backwards pass.
f) This constraint reduces float to coordinate parallel activities, ensuring that the finish of an activity is not scheduled before the specified date. It applies only on the forward pass. |
Sample 3 – Which of the following are the PRIMARY GENERIC criteria that a CONTRACTOR organization, working under a firm fixed price contract, commonly uses to determine whether a project was “successful” or not? (In any order) Select all that apply.
1) The project finishes on time
2) The project satisfies the business objectives of the owner or client
3) The project finishes within the contractors budget
4) No Lost Time Accidents
5) The project finishes within the owners budget
