In project management, what is 'lag'?

The amount of time a successor's start or finish is delayed from the predecessor’s start or finish
The speed at which a project proceeds
The delay in project completion due to resource limitation
Time taken to assess project risks

The correct answer is: The amount of time a successor's start or finish is delayed from the predecessor’s start or finish

In project management, 'lag' refers to the amount of time a successor's start or finish is delayed from the predecessor’s start or finish. This delay between activities is crucial in determining the sequencing and timing of tasks within a project. Option B is incorrect because 'lag' does not refer to the speed at which a project proceeds. Option C is incorrect as 'lag' is not specifically related to delays in project completion due to resource limitations. Option D is also incorrect as 'lag' is not about the time taken to assess project risks but rather the time delay between linked activities in a project.
