Unit No. QCF731 Ensure that Work Activities and
Resources Meet Project Work
Requirements in the workplace
Q1 Explain ways that allows major work activities to be identified (AC1.4)
Creation of a communication flow, making a habit of continuous planning,
observation and asking questions and embracing of automated systems of
reporting are some of the ways which allows major work activities to be
identified.
Q2 Explain ways that can evaluate alternative work methods, resources and
systems.(AC2.3)
Assessing the available information of the project properly, identification of
the possible methods of work against the criteria of the project and analysis of
the method for it content of the activity are some of the ways.
Q3 Explain how draft programmes and schedules can be prepared and why they
need to be prepared. (AC1.6,3.2)
Draft programmes can be prepared by paying particular attention to items
which will be long leading and for pre contract activities.
They are needed to be prepared for all the approval programmes, delivery
programmes and for the client’s entire programme.
Q4 Describe how durations of programmes and schedules can be calculated. (AC 5.4)
Calculation can be done from the judgement by the experts, historical
information, and structure of the work breakdown and from all the
publications of the industry.
Q5 Explain methods that can make best use of resources when sequencing
activities logically and realistically. (AC5.6)
Method of the precedence diagramming, determination of the dependency and
all the lags and leads will be helping in making the best use of resources while
sequencing all the activities realistically.
Q6 Explain ways that systems for monitoring works programmes and schedules
can be implemented. (AC7.6)
Regular monitoring of the schedule of the project, monitoring of the
performance of the schedule and structure of the work breakdown are some of
the ways.
Job Knowledge Questions Unit No.
QCF731

Q7 Explain how alterations to works programmes and schedules can be identified
and meet changed circumstances (AC8.4,8.5)
It can be done by properly analysing all the activity’s sequential programming
against all the factors which are external as well as several resources for
meeting all the requirements of the project.
Q8 Explain how systems can be developed that monitor works programmes and
schedules.,(AC7.4,7.5)
Regular monitoring of the schedule of the project, monitoring of the
performance of the schedule and structure of the work breakdown are some of
the ways.
Q9 Explain how work activities can be analysed against project requirements. and
external factors (AC4.3,4.5)
Activities of work can be analysed against all the requirements of the project
as well as all the external risk factors by confirming whether all the rules as
well as regulations highly matter upon all the relationships in between all the
external factors and the construction management of risk.
Q10 Explain how systems for monitoring works programmes and schedules can be
developed. (AC7.5)
Systems of monitoring working for the schedules can be developed properly
by properly creating an outline of the project, establishment of both milestones
as well as goals, regular check in and finally the establishment of clear
deadlines.
Q11 Explain how needed resources can be determined from the information
available. (AC1.5)
All the needed resources must be comprising of all the materials, products,
construction tools, human resources, facilities and finance.
Q12 Describe how the best solutions to meet project requirements can be selected
(AC2.4)
A proper initiation, execution and monitoring will be helping to obtain the best
solutions for meeting all the requirements of the project.
Q13 Describe the factors that determine project requirements. (AC2.5)
Deadline, budget, members of the project, price and the demand are some of
the factors determining the requirements of the project.
Q14 Explain how clarification and advice can be obtained when the resources
needed are not available, and who with. (AC3.2)

When resources will not be available it is basically the duty of the managers
for identifying all the shortage in the resources, think holistically, utilise tools
and be realistic.
Q15 Describe ways that external factors can be identified and considered. (AC4.4)
External factors can be identified as well as considered by identifying all the
social, legal as well as the technological changes and also the political and the
economic environment.
Q16 Explain how to identify work activities that can influence each other (AC5.5)
The productivity of the project upon a particular period of time will be helping
in identifying all the activities of work influencing each other.
Q17 Explain methods that ensure programmes and schedules of planned activities
are consistent with the complexity of the project. (AC6.2,6.3)
Gantt chart will be actually the best method for ensuring both the schedules
and the programmes of all the planned activities which will be consistent with
the project’s complexity.
Q18 Explain how the using of monitoring results of work programmes and
schedules can improve production and planning. (AC7.7)
Using of the monitoring results of the work programmes can be improving
both planning as well as production by customizing the plan of the project by
the managers and also by addressing all the issues before it will be happening.
Q19 Explain how alterations to works programmes and schedules can be identified.
(AC8.4)
It can be done by properly analysing all the activity’s sequential programming
against all the factors which are external as well as several resources for
meeting all the requirements of the project.
Q20 Explain how work activities can be analysed against project requirements.
(AC4.3)
Activities of work can be analysed against all the requirements of the project
as well as all the external risk factors by confirming whether all the rules as
well as regulations highly matter upon all the relationships in between all the
external factors and the construction management of risk.
Q21 Explain how the production of detailed programmes and schedules are
ensured. (AC6.2)
With the help of several tools as well as techniques like the Gantt chart,
techniques of modelling and a scheduled analysis of network, the production
of the detailed schedules as well as programmes are ensured.
