This case study is a continuation of the case study started in Chapter $4.$

CASE QUESTIONS

$1.$Develop an estimated duration for each activity.

$2.$Using a project start time of $0($or January $1)$ and a required project completion time of $180$ days $($or June $30),$ calculate the ES$,$ EF$,$ LS$,$ and LF times and TS for each activity. If your calculations result in a project schedule with negative TS$,$ revise the project scope, activity estimated durations, and$/$or sequence or dependent relationships among activities to arrive at an acceptable baseline schedule for completing the project within $180$ days $($or by June $30).$ Describe the revisions you made.

$3.$Determine the critical path, and identify the activities that make up the critical path.

$4.$ Produce a bar chart $($Gantt chart$)$ based on the ES and EF times from the schedule in item $2.$
