Projects: Planning & Gantt — Assessment

1. You try to add a dependency and AWRA refuses it, citing a cycle. What is the right response?

Add the dependency in the reverse direction to bypass the check Delete one of the tasks to force the link Report a bug — dependencies should always be allowed Rethink the ordering; a loop (direct or transitive) makes "what finishes first" unanswerable

2. Two tasks are late. Task A has zero slack; Task B has four days of slack. Which should you protect first?

Task B, because it has more room Neither — lateness never matters on a Gantt chart Whichever has the earlier start date Task A, because a slip on a zero-slack task moves the whole finish date

3. A task has no start or due date. How does it appear on the Gantt timeline?

It does not plot — the timeline reflects the schedule you entered It plots as a full-width bar It plots at today's date by default It blocks the timeline from rendering

4. What does setting a baseline do?

Snapshots current start/due dates so later variance (ahead/behind days) can be shown Locks all tasks so dates can no longer change Deletes the current schedule and starts over Automatically extends every due date by a week

5. How is the critical path determined?

The tasks assigned to the project owner Manually flagged by the project owner Computed from forward/backward passes over the dependency graph — the zero-slack tasks The tasks with the most comments
