Chapter 06 Developing a Project Plan Answer Key
Multiple Choice Questions
1. Information to develop a project network is collected from the
A. Organization breakdown structure
B. Work breakdown structure
C. Budget
D. Project proposal
E. Responsibility matrix
The network is developed from the information collected for the WBS and is a graphic flow
chart of the project job plan.

2. Which of the following represents an activity on an AON project network?
A. An arrow
B. A line
C. A node
D. Both A and B are correct
E. A, B, and C are all correct
The two approaches used to develop project networks are known as activity-on-node (AON)
and activity-on-arrow (AOA). Both methods use two building blocks— the arrow and the
node. Their names derive from the fact that the former uses a node to depict an activity.

3. Arrows on an AON project network represent:
A. An activity
B. Project flow
C. Dependency
D. Both B and C are correct
E. Both A and B are correct
The node depicts an activity, and the arrow shows dependency and project flow.

4. When translated into a project network, a work package will become
A. A single activity
B. One or more activities
C. A milestone
D. A critical path
E. An arrow
Work packages from the WBS are used to build the activities found in the project network.
An activity can include one or more work packages. The activities are placed in a sequence
that provides for orderly completion of the project.
5. Which of the following is provided by a project network but not by the work breakdown
structure?
A. Dependencies
B. Sequencing
C. Interrelationships
D. Both A and B are correct
E. A, B, and C are all correct
Project networks are developed from the WBS. The project network is a visual flow diagram
of the sequence, interrelationships, and dependencies of all the activities that must be
accomplished to complete the project.

6. On a project network, the activity times are derived from the
A. Organization breakdown structure
B. Work packages
C. Budget
D. Project proposal
E. Responsibility matrix
Work packages from the WBS are used to build the activities found in the project network.
An activity is an element in the project that consumes time—for example, work or waiting.
