Deliverables: Use the project described below to create the following: 1. Network Diagram (activity-on-node type) /4 2. List all the possible paths available to complete the project (from activity A to K) /2 3. Identify the critical path - provide the total duration for the critical path /3 4. Identify the shortest time (duration) needed to complete any one of the three outcomes for the project /1 Project Description: The novel coronavirus COVID-19 was first isolated in Dec 2019 and quickly became a world-wide medical emergency. As a result, many countries and many health-related organizations set to work trying to uncover both effective treatments as well as a vaccine. Developing any of these three possible remedies is useful - developing all three would be wonderful. The three are: a vaccine, isolation of the antibody, and a treatment. One of these organizations is Toronto's University Health Network. J.Z. Smith, the project manager assigned to organize the employees involved, has asked you to develop a network diagram to outline the efforts being undertaken. The project team gathered the activity time estimates and the dependencies shown below.
