Free PMI Project Management Professional (PMP) Practice Question
A project manager is calculating the Late Finish (LF) for an activity. The Late Start (LS) is day 15, and the activity duration is 7 days. What is the Late Finish for this activity?
The correct answer is 21 days. To calculate the Late Finish (LF), we use the formula: LF = LS + Duration - 1. In this case, LF = 15 + 7 - 1 = 21. It's important to remember to subtract 1 from the sum of LS and Duration because the activity starts and finishes on the same day. For example, if an activity starts on day 15 and lasts for 7 days, it will finish on day 21, not day 22. This calculation is crucial for determining the latest time an activity can finish without delaying the project end date.
