Question: Differentiate between i . Critical Path Method ( CPM ) and the Project Evaluation and Review Technique in project network analysis ii . Risk Register

Differentiate between
i. Critical Path Method (CPM) and the Project Evaluation and Review Technique in project network analysis
ii. Risk Register and Risk Breakdown Structure
Briefly explain the role of the following: in project network analysis:
i. Pessimistic time
ii. Optimistic time
iii. Most likely time
State and discuss the rules applied to a "Forward Pass" in Network Analysis
Use the Table 1 on the next page to answer the following questions:
i. Using Network analysis determine the Critical Path of the Project
ii. Calculate the planned duration on the project in months
iii. Identify any non-critical tasks and the floats/slack time on each task
TABLE 1: Network Activities
\table[[ACTIVITY,PREDECESSOR,\table[[OPTIMISTIC],[TIME],[(Months)]],\table[[MOST],[LIKELY],[TIME],[(Months)]],\table[[PESSIMISTIC],[TIME],[(Months)]]],[A,-,5,7,9],[B,A,14,15,16],[C,B,23,25,27],[D,B,13,15,17],[E,B,28,30,32],[F,C,D,8,10,11],[G,E,F,10,12,14],[H,G,3,5,7],[I,H,2,4,6],[,,,,]]
Using Table 1, draw the network diagram and determine the critical path in months
Given the Pessimistic and Optimistic Times, compute the expected times for each activity and
a) the probability of completing the project in 72 months; b) for a probability of 95% how many months will it take to complete the project?
i. Compute the expected time (te) and the variance S2 for each activity
ii. What is the standard Deviation of the Critical Path
iii. What is the probability that the project will be completed in
A)72 months
B)78 months
Explain the implication of each probability of completing the project within the giv0.en time.
 Differentiate between i. Critical Path Method (CPM) and the Project Evaluation
