Time Management

Correct Answer: Decomposition

Decomposition is the most effective technique in the Activity Definition process for a software development project such as creating a health app. This technique involves breaking down the project work into smaller, more manageable components. This would allow the team to define specific activities required to develop the app. Parametric Estimating, Analogous Estimating, and Three-point Estimating, on the other hand, are techniques primarily used for cost or duration estimating, not for defining the specific activities of a project. Therefore, these options are not the most effective in the Activity Definition process in this case.

Correct Answer: Delegate tasks to others when possible

The most effective way to improve time management skills according to the given options is to 'Delegate tasks to others when possible'. This allows for prioritizing tasks, focus, and increases efficiency in completing tasks. The option 'Work more hours each day' is not a good time management skill as it could lead to burnout and decreased productivity. 'Multitask as much as possible' is also not advisable as studies have shown multitasking can lead to decreased efficiency and more errors. The option 'Don’t take breaks during the workday' is also incorrect. Breaks provide necessary relaxation for the mind and hence actually increase overall productivity.

Correct Answer: The Eisenhower Matrix

The correct answer is 'The Eisenhower Matrix'. The Eisenhower Matrix is a time management technique that involves a grid of four squares, which allows users to prioritize tasks based on their urgency and importance. Each square represents a different combination: Important & Urgent, Important & Not Urgent, Not Important & Urgent, and Not Important & Not Urgent. The other mentioned techniques are not as closely related to the process of prioritizing tasks on both urgency and importance. 'The Pomodoro Technique' is a method where work is broken into intervals, traditionally 25 minutes in length, separated by short breaks. 'The Pareto Principle', also known as the 80/20 rule, suggests that 80% of effects come from 20% of causes, and while this can be related to prioritizing tasks, it doesn't directly involve prioritizing based on urgency and importance. Lastly, 'The Schedule Network Diagram' is a graphical representation of the sequence of activities and their dependencies in a project but it is not a task prioritization technique based on urgency and importance.
