Project Management Assignment Your company, Planners 'R Us, specializes in effectively managing projects. A new, intriguing project offers an opportunity to apply your project management expertise. The university you just graduated from wishes to put together a post-pandemic music festival, "Vanquish the Virus 2020" Your company has met with University officials to develop a list of activities required to make the festival a reality. The list includes twelve activities as well as their durations and immediate predecessors. Note that at the beginning of the project, activities A, C and D are available to start working on, as they have no predecessor activities. You have four (4) regular workers, although you do not need to use all of them every week, therefore no more than 4 activities can be happening in the same week. (Show Gantt chart activity by week.). There is also an extra available worker in case of emergency need, but this worker cannot be assigned a task of their own. They can only jump in to help on an existing task. For bookkeeping purposes, your company will charge $200 per week for each worker that you use. If you happen to use 2 workers on the same task the 2nd worker on that task will cost $500 due to training, additional coordination and administration costs but will shorten the task by one week for each week you do this. For example, a task that takes 7 weeks by one worker will cost $200 * 7 days = $1400 Putting a second worker on this task for 2 weeks will shorten the duration to 5 weeks but the overall cost of the task will be: $200 * 5 weeks = 1000 Plus $500 2 weeks - $1000 for a total cost of $2000. Each week you "double up" shortens the task by one week duration. To summarize, the most workers on any given task is two (2) per week, the most tasks per week is four and the total number of workers you may employ for any week is at most five (5).

What is the minimum number of days you will need to put together the festival? (crash as much as possible) but only if it shortens the time needed. The budget still matters.... Is there new critical path? What will the new cost be? Create a Gantt chart to show the new schedule Foco
