11-16 Jean Walker is making plans for spring break at the beaches in Florida. In applying techniques she learned in her quantitative methods class, she has identified the activities that are necessary to prepare for her trip. The following table lists the activities and the immediate predecessors. Draw the network for this project. 11-17 The following are the activity times for the project in Problem 11-16. Find the earliest, latest, and slack times for each activity. Then find the critical path.  These problems go together and are deterministic times.
A project consists of the activities in the following list. Times are given in weeks. Activity Preceding Time A -- 8 B -- 4 C A, B 7 D A, B 3 E C, D 5 F C, D 6 G E, F 4   Draw the project network diagram. Calculate each activity's ES, EF, LS, LF, and Slack using the project activity nodes on the project network diagram. What is the project completion time? Identify the critical path
Suppose you are the project manager for the following project: First, draw a network diagram for the project. Determine the critical path and slack times for all of the tasks. This completes your plan for the project schedule. During project execution, you become aware of the need to change the duration of Task 4 to five days. Meanwhile, Task 3 has been finished one day early, so it only took one day to do. What, if any, effects do these changes have on your project? What would have happened if you had not been monitoring the status of the project?
