You have created the project network diagram for your project. Management is reviewing the network diagram and they are curious as to why you have included levels of effort activities as start-to-start and finish-to-finish successor activities for work that uses particular manufacturing equipment. You explained that the levels of effort activities are maintained for the equipment. This relationship and scheduling scenario is also known as what term?

Answer options

• A. Project management overhead

• C. Subproject
• D. Finish-to-Start

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, Hammock activity, which refers to a type of activity that spans across multiple tasks and is used to represent the effort required for managing resources or equipment.
