GIAC Certified Project Manager (GCPM) — Question 5

Jane works as a project manager for HRM Inc. She needs to adjust the amount of time between two activities. She wants to delay the start of the second activity by 19 hours. What scheduling component should Jane add to the second activity?

Answer options

• A. Lead time
• B. Project slack
• C. Project float
• D. Lag time

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, Lead time, which is used to indicate the amount of time a task is delayed. The other options, including Project slack and Project float, refer to the total time that a project can be delayed without affecting its end date, whereas Lag time specifically addresses delays between tasks but is not used in the same context as Lead time.
