Question
100%

Consider the following activities for a project. Answer the questions below.

a. Assume the durations given are high confidence, create a network chart (don’t consider
resources yet), and identify the critical path. What is the duration of the project?

b. You aren’t quite ready to apply the critical chain project management yet, but you do want to
eliminate multi-tasking. Eliminate any resource contention in your network. Identify the critical
path now? What is the duration of the project?

c. Apply the critical chain project management approach to this project. Create a new view of
your project network, include a project buffer and any needed feeding buffers. What is the critical
chain? What is the duration of the project now?
