Consider the project information in Table $1,$

showing the WBS elements comprising the entire

scope of a project, planned dates in baseline

schedule, and actual$/$planned in updated schedules.

The project$$s planned duration was $100$ days.

Measurement of work element progress is by the

duration method.

i$.$ Draw the baseline schedule of the project as a

bar chart.

ii$.$ Draw the updated schedule for $3$rd update as a

bar chart; Data Date $($DD$)=75$d

$($Hint: you can combine bar charts for baseline

and updated schedules in one chart, if you

prefer$)$

iii. Calculate the planned project progress by time from the baseline schedule.

iv$.$ Calculate the actual project progress on the DD of $75$d$.$

v$.$ Comment on the project time performance using:

a$.$ Project progress

b$.$ Project updated completion date

vi$.$ Analyze the reasons of delay

vii. Suggest suitable managerial actions to mitigate $($overcome$)$ the delays
