Develop an activity$-$on$-$node $($AON$)$ network diagram for your project. This is usually a difficult assignment for students. Be sure to include the following information for each node $($If you have more than $10$ nodes, compress select activities to reduce the number of nodes.$)$:

$$ Duration

$$ Earliest start time

$$ Earliest finish time

$$ Latest start time

$$ Latest finish time

In addition, determine:

$$ Any slack or float for each activity

$$ The critical path for the project$$how much time does the project require to complete

Additional information:

$$ For the duration, use the Total Duration Hours from the Cost Spreadsheet $($which have factored in the duration and interruption factors$)$ divided by the resources assigned to the work package $($if Total Duration Hours $=24$ hours with three resources, then the duration for the work package is $24$ hours$/3$ resources $=8$ hours $[1$ day$]$ time duration$)$

$$ WBS activity levels should be at a level to reasonably complete an AON diagram with at least $610$ activities. If there are many work packages $($more than $20),$ do not use the work package level, unless the work packages can be combined into a manageable set of activities and$/$or use diagramming software, such as MS Project $($not required$).$ It is preferred that you perform this activity manually as you will have to perform this activity on the final exam.

$$ The assignment objective is to demonstrate understanding of network diagrams, critical path analysis, and the relationships between activities.

$$ Use the template to enter the key parameters of ES$,$ LS$,$ EF$,$ LF$,$ slack, and duration $($similar to final exam problem$).$

$$ Please check assignment documents before submission to make sure all documents are readable. Clearly identify the critical path $($including all activities$)$ and the duration $($including a discussion of how this schedule compares to the six months target duration$).$

$$ Convert hours to weeks $($divide by $40)$ or months $($divide by $160).$

$$ Convert days to weeks $($divide by $5)$ or months $($divide by $20).$

Also identify all paths thru your AON diagram.
