Question

6. If negative float appears on a partial path (until certain activity), the most likely explanation is: a. One or more activities on that path is running late. b. The project is not meeting its expected completion date. c. The project is meeting its expected completion date but a certain activity/ event on that path is not meeting its expected completion date. d. It must be a software glitch.

Answer 1

c. The project is meeting its expected completion date but a certain activity/ event on that path is not meeting its expected completion date.

Step-by-step explanation:

• Float is the total amount of a project delay. A negative float means a delay longer than the intended or allowed float at a given time. This means that a float is an activity that takes longer than initially thought.
• Some projects have built-in standard floats, which are calculated based on previous experience of similar projects, with allowances given for some different expected backstory.
