Develop a network diagram and identify the critical path. You may use Excel to develop the network diagram or draw this by hand. Create a schedule (gantt chart) using a scheduling tool such as Project Libre, MS Project or Project Plan 365 or similar. You may not use Excel for the development of the schedule and your schedule should demonstrate understanding of key scheduling tools, such as relationships, lags and leads, based on the activities list in Appendix 2. You have one new developer and one very experienced developer who may work on B3 File Validation module and B4 Desktop validation module. Assume that the very experienced developer can achieve 110% productivity, while the new developer is only able to achieve 45% productivity as he will need to ask a lot of questions. Apply threepoint estimation to B3 File Validation module and B4 Desktop validation module, The current estimations were based on previous similar projects (analogous estimates) and can be applied as the most likely duration. You have very experienced staff working on each remaining module so can safely accept the estimates based on similar previous development projects. Adjust your schedule to comply with the requirement to deliver the project within six weeks (you will note that the activities list has a total duration of eight weeks) so it is expected that you will apply and justify tools to compress the schedule appropriately. Create the Schedule management plan and include the components listed above within your schedule management plan
