The following is a table of activities associatedwith a project at Rafay Ishfaq’s software firm in Chicago,their durations, and what activities each must precede:
a) Draw an AON diagram of the project, including activitydurations.b) Define the critical path, listing all critical activities inchronological order.c) What is the project duration (in weeks)?d) What is the slack (in weeks) associated with any and allnoncritical paths through the project?
The
is a schedule forecast of the probable duration of a project.
What is the expected project duration? and What is the Standard Deviation of Expected Time?

- 4. Project managers have many resources that are not directly under their control, such as the designer and the owner. Provide at least 5 bulleted points describing in detail how project managers can manage (influence) resources outside of their control or above them in the contractual hierarchy. 5. For the following simple seven-activity project, develop a precedence network, calculate all relevant characteristics of each activity (ES, EF, LS, LF, TF), and calculate the project duration. Then draw a time-scaled network and under it a labor resource histogram for the ES. Do the same for the LS. In both cases, use the maximum allowable number of workers. Make adjustments to the noncritical activities, within the constraints of the ES and LF and the maximum and minimum workers allowed to provide what you feel is the best labor distribution. Please use Table B (Table B.pdf) Lastly, Explain in detail what do you feel is the biggest problem with the ES and LS configurations, and how has…arrow_forwardWhat are the benefits of the General Project Status Report?arrow_forwardThe target network for a project has a duration of 12 months at a budget of $120,000.

Draw a Cost vs. Time graph showing the BCWS, ACWP, BCWP, Cost Variance, Schedule Variance (in time and in $), BAC, and EAC. Label all elements of the graph clearly.arrow_forward
- During the life cycle inventory analysis, which is done as part of a life cycle assessment, the availability of data can impact your ability to complete the assessment. Therefore, as you develop a data collection plan and better understand what data you can collect or define you may need to alter or redefine what other part of the life cycle assessment? The ability to collect data may alter the type of LCA you plan to do (i.e. streamlined vs. comparative). The ability to collect data may alter your original choice of impact factors. The ability to collect data may alter your original reason for completing the LCA. The ability to collect data may alter the scope of the LCA you intend to complete.
