Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

CCPM recognizes that people often add extra time to their estimates to account for unpredictable events, but this can lead to unnecessary delays and inefficiencies. By focusing on the critical chain (the longest sequence of dependent tasks in the project), CCPM aims to streamline the project schedule and reduce the impact of unforeseen delays. Options B and C are incorrect because PERT/CPM is still widely used today and Precedence Diagramming can account for non-critical paths in the project.
