Question 1) See appendix 1
Question 2)
Timing of activities is found using the forward pass and backward pass method
...
Earliest finish of the prior activity is used as the earliest start of the
preceding activity
...
The backward pass is using the project completion period as
the latest finish and subtracted from its duration to determine the latest start
...
Each activity’s Float is determined by subtracting the latest start time from the earliest
start time (LST-EST)
...
It is the longest path that always has a float of zero
...
Question 4)
The project started on January 11th, 2010, therefore earliest completion date, using a five
day work week is on, Friday, April 2nd, 2010
...
Question 5)
a) A one day delay during activity P will result in the entire project to be completed in
sixty one (61) days because activity P is on the critical path
...
c) A two day delay of activity I may not affect the entire project as it is not on the critical
path and has six days float
...
Through display of clear and concise graphical representation of task relationships
and milestones
...
This aids
in planning and scheduling of large complex, one-time, non-routine infrastructure,
Research and Development and uncertain projects
...
A PERT is the actual performance of tasks consuming time
and required resources such as labour, materials, space, and machinery from one event to
another
...
CPM are made up of a number of
individual task using timings to form a complex web of activities to determine those that
are critical and needs priority to estimate cost for decision making
...

AOA represents activities direction of progress where as nodes are numbered connected
by these arrows to construct and represent stages of the project’s completion
...
Each path is assigned
numbers allowing revisions to be made easily
...
Network diagrams are events illustrating technological relationships and paths of
connected activities
...
Project managers using network diagrams can establish and determine team’s
responsibility, contract dates, risks, costs contingencies, and monitoring project progress
through allocation of resources from start to completion
...
