The table below shows the relevant task data for a future design project. The work is scheduled to start on Monday, January 4, 2016. Use MSP to create a complete project plan, including WBS, for this project. Assuming there is no overtime or work on weekends, on what date will the project be completed? In grading your work, I will pay attention to both the Gantt chart view and the network diagram view.

1. Create a plan for this project in MSP following our usual conventions and use MSP’s Project Summary Task to compute the overall project duration. Make sure there are no dangling ends in the resulting network. Assign the workers to each project activity, assuming that each activity starts as soon as possible. Make sure the view in MSP shows the resulting resource loading graph, then save your project plan under the file name ‘T2a’.
2. For the project plan you generated in part (a), rearrange the timing of individual activities to reduce the overall fluctuation in resource demand. Assume that the project duration cannot be extended. Save your revised project plan under the file name ‘T2b’.
3. If there are only 12 workers available for the project, rearrange the timing of individual activities to ensure that the project can be completed as quickly as possible but without violating the resource limit. In this case, the project duration may be extended if necessary. Save your revised project plan under the file name ‘T2c’.
