Your schedule has a critical path of tasks A-D-E-F. A team member tells you that task B, which was originally planned to take 6 days with 5 days of float, has been re-estimated to take 9 days. What effect would you expect this to have on the schedule?
Select one:
a. Task B would have 1 day of lag
b. The project completion date would be increased by 3 days.
c. Task B is now part of the critical path
d. The critical path would still be A-D-E-F

Consider the following project, all durations are in days. Find the critical path and which tasks have slack. What is the probability the project will be done in 50 days? How about in 53 days? Suppose any task can be crashed for up to two days for the same cost per day, but that tasks A and N cannot be crashed at all. Which tasks should be crashed if the project needed to be completed in 45 days with at...

The following activities are part of a project to be scheduled
using CPM.
Determine the critical Path.
How many weeks will it take to complete the project?
Suppose F could be shortened by two weeks and B by one week.
How would this affect the completion date?

Question #1: Some of the tasks in this project can be done in
parallel. Prepare a diagram showing the required network of tasks
and define the critical path. What is the length of the project
without crashing? Do not just answer, but show the whole
process.
Question #2: If the critical path is longer than 29 days, what
is the least additional amounting that Dr. Watage can spend and
still achieve this schedule objective (29 days)? Do not just
answer,...
