Part $3$ Planning Projects

Exercises

Label the box below to create a two$-$pass schedule legend.

If the learning rate is $60$ percent and the first time the activity was performed took $200$min utes, the second time performing the activity should take minutes, and the fourth time should take minutes.

In the example below, label which activities are predecessors and which activities are successors.

Create a logical network using the activities listed below.

Planting a Flower Bed

Purchase flowers, potting soil, and tools.

Water flowers.

Prepare soil by weeding and adding fertilizer.

Plant flowers.

Dig hole.

Calculate early start, early finish, late start, late finish, and float for each of the activities in the network below. The duration of each activity is given.

Identify the critical path for the network in Exercise $5.$ How long should the project take?

Display the schedule from Exercise $5$ on a Gantt chart showing critical activities, noncritical activities, and float.

Given the information below, create the project schedule network. Then, using the two$-$pass method, calculate and show the early and late starts and float for each activity and the critical path. Show the schedule on a Gantt chart showing critical and noncritical activities and float.

Given the information below, create the project schedule network. Then, using the enumeration method, calculate and show all of the paths through the network. Show how long each path will take. Identify the critical path. Show the schedule on a Gantt chart showing critical and noncritical activities and float.
