Answer the following:

| Activity | ES | EF | LS | LF | Slack |
| A | 0 | 10 | 0 | 10 | 0 |
| B | 0 | 12 | 4 | 16 | 4 |
| C | 10 | 14 | 10 | 14 | 0 |
| D | 12 | 20 | 16 | 24 | 4 |
| E | 12 | 21 | 27 | 36 | 15 |
| F | 14 | 24 | 14 | 24 | 0 |
| G | 24 | 36 | 24 | 36 | 0 |
| H | 36 | 51 | 36 | 51 | 0 |
Slack = LS-LF=EF-ES
Critical path is the longest path which is A-C-F-G-H with duration of 51 days
It will take 51 days to complete the project
Activity E has slack of 9 days so E can be delayed by maximum 9
days without delaying the completion of the project

A project has the following set of activities Activity Immediate Predecessor Duration (weeks) A - 8 B - 10 C A 3 D A 7 E B, C 6 F B, C 7 G D, E 5 H F 3 Draw the AON diagram Identify all the possible paths What is the critical path? Can activity B be delayed without delaying the completion of the project? If so, by how many days?
A simple CPM network has three activities, A, B, and C. A is an immediate predecessor of B and of C. B is an immediate predecessor of C. The activity durations are A=4, B=3, C=5. The network has no critical path. The critical path cannot be determined without knowing PERT expected activity times. The critical path is A-C, duration 10.5. The critical path is A-B-C, duration 9. The critical path is A-B-C, duration 12.
From this schedule of activities: Activity Immediate Predecessor Activity Time A --- 4 B A 2 C B 3 D B 5 E A 1 F C, D 3 G E, F 2 a. Draw the PERT/CPM network b. Complete the forward and backward pass c. Determine the critical path d. Determine the total duration of the project.

Which one is not correct about the critical path method (CPM) in project management? Duration of a project is equal to the duration of its critical path. There could be more than one critical paths. Crashing a project is shortening the duration of the critical activities. The tasks on the critical path can be delayed without delaying the project duration. Slack times of activities on a critical path are zero.
