$1.$ Why does the scheduling function depend on the planning function? Which one must be done first? Why?$2.$ Describe what an activity estimated duration is$.$ How is it determined?$3.$ Why might a contractor prefer to state a project completion time in terms of number of days after the project starts rather than a specific date? Give some examples of instances when this would be appropriate$\mathrm{.}4.$ Refer fe orin $5\mathrm{.}4.$ Why is the earliest start time for "Review Comments & Finalize Questionnaire" day $33?$ Why is the earliest finish time day $38?5.$ Refer to Figure $5\mathrm{.}7.$ Why is the latest start time for "Mail Questionnaires & Get Responses" day $40?$ Why is the latest finish time day $105?6.$ Describe the different types of project slack and how each is calculated. Why is it important to determine the critical path of a project? What happens if activities on this path are delayed? What happens if activities on this path are accelerated?$7.$ From your experience, describe how you have used a project control process.If you did not use continual monitoring of the progress, how would it have helped improve the project's success if you did use it$?8.$ Why should a project have a regular reporting period? Should all projects have the same reporting period?$9.$ Why or why not? What types of data should be collected during each reporting period?$10.$ Who can initiate changes to a project schedule? Describe why and when changes would occur in a project. How are the network diagram and schedule updated to reflect the changes?$11.$ Describe how you would apply the four steps of schedule control to a proj$-$the primary focus? Why?ect.

What are some of the common problems that push information system projects beyond their due dates? How could using agile project management techniques help control a project's progression?$13.$ Calculate the ES$,$ EF$,$ LS$,$ and IF times and the slack for each activity in the figure below, and identify the critical path for the project. Can the project be completed in $40$ weeks? Assume that activity A actually finished at $3$ weeks,
