Can I please get help with each question since most are individual-based?

Joe and Nol have just gotten engaged. Seeing as they are both business students, they thought that theyd try to plan out their wedding preparation as a project. Heres the WBS theyve determined is necessary for a simple but elegant wedding. Assume all durations are deterministic. Although perhaps not realistic to real wedding planning, use the standard calendar in ProjectLibre (use default working days in software).

Based on the project you created, answer the following questions. Please note that each question is independent and not built upon each other.

  1. If Joe and Nol start wedding planning on January 1, 2021, when is the wedding day?

  1. What is the critical path? List all critical tasks in chronological order.

  1. Will the critical path change if Nol decides she needs two extra weeks for the Bridal Diet? If yes, what is the new critical path and when should the wedding be held?

  1. Assume that band auditions take twice as long as expected. Does this affect the wedding day? If yes, when should the wedding be held?

  1. If they want to get married on 10/1/2021, when do they have to start the wedding planning?

  1. Determine what predecessors need to be listed to make sure everything is done by the wedding day without needlessly checking things? Nol is going to be nervous enough without having to check to see if each of the 18 tasks are complete at the end!
