developing the project team, and managing the project team
2. Discuss the difference between resource loading and resource leveling, and provide an
example of when you would use each technique.
Resource loading shows the amount of individual resources an
existing schedule requires during specific time frames. Resource
leveling is a technique for resolving resource conflicts, such as
overallocated resources, by delaying tasks.
3. Describe three types of software that can assist in project Quality management.
4. Provide examples of when you would use the Seven Basic Tools of Quality on an

used to find variances in projects based on the comparison of worked
performed and work planned. EVM is used on the cost and schedule
control and can be very useful in project forecasting
7. Give examples of when you would prepare rough order of magnitude (ROM),
budgetary, and definite cost estimates for an information technology project.
examples of when you would prepare rough order of magnitude
(ROM) solution could be a rough order of magnitude (ROM) -75 to
