1. You can start a project in which of the following ways?
   
   A. Using a template if you have Ajera, not ajeraCore
   
   B. From scratch
   
   C. By copying an existing project
   
   D. All of the above

   D. You can start a project in any of these ways. Firms using Ajera, not ajeraCore, often use templates so as to avoid entering similar information every time they start a project.

2. After you set up a project, which of the following happens?
   
   A. You can no longer enter a budget or schedule for the project.
   
   B. Ajera creates a draft invoice for the project, which you can view and change in Manage > Client Invoices.
   
   C. Ajera sends an alert to your email address letting you know what you just did.

   B. Ajera makes the draft invoice available immediately so you begin the billing process as soon as you are ready. However, the draft invoice is not available if the project status is Preliminary, Billing Hold, or Closed.

3. When you schedule employees on a project, you:
   
   A. Enter percentages for them on the Manage tab of the Project Command Center. Ajera automatically adjusts the values on the Manage tab when you update the % Complete column.
   
   B. Enter weekly hours for them in Schedule Manager. Budgeted hours and dollars from the Project Command Center appear to guide your scheduling efforts. Ajera automatically updates the actual hours and dollars when employees enter time to the project.
   
   C. Enter daily hours for them in Manage > Time & Expense. Ajera automatically adjusts the schedules when employees enter time to the project.

   B. When you use Schedule Manager, you can create weekly schedules for employees based on the budgeted hours from the Project Command Center. During the project lifecycle, you can change the schedules based on project performance and employee workload.

4. You would most likely use the top-down method of budgeting a project when:
   
   A. You know the contract amount or total number of hours needed to complete a project.
   
   B. You want to control the project hours and cost.
   
   C. It is an hourly based project.
   
   D. You want to produce a project proposal.

   A. The other choices apply to bottom-up budgeting.
