Joe and Noël have just gotten engaged. Seeing as they are both business students, they thought that they’d try to plan out their wedding preparation as a project. Here’s the WBS they’ve determined is necessary for a simple but elegant wedding. Assume all durations are deterministic. Although perhaps not realistic to real wedding planning, use the standard calendar in ProjectLibre (use default working days in software). Based on the project you created, answer the following questions. Please note that each question is independent and not built upon each other. a) If Joe and Noël start wedding planning on January 1, 2023, when is the wedding day? b) What is the critical path? List all critical tasks in chronological order. c) Will the critical path change if Noël decides she needs two extra weeks for the Bridal Diet? If yes, what is the new critical path and when should the wedding be held? d) Assume that band auditions take twice as long as expected. Does this affect the…
