- What does scope creep refer to in project management?
- Uncontrolled expansion of the project scope without corresponding changes to time, cost, or resources.
- Define the critical path in project scheduling.
- The longest sequence of dependent activities that determines the minimum project duration.
- What is schedule baseline in project management?
- The approved schedule for the project, used as a reference to measure and report schedule performance.
- Explain the purpose of resource leveling in project scheduling.

- A measure of cost efficiency, calculated as Earned Value divided by Actual Cost.
- What does the Schedule Performance Index (SPI) measure?
- Schedule efficiency, calculated as Earned Value divided by Planned Value.
- Define the purpose of quality assurance in project management.
- To audit the quality requirements and the results from quality control measurements to ensure standards are met.
