The manager, Jenny provided you with the information of the expected availability of resources (e.g. funds, workers, supplies, approval of permits) for the jobs of another similar project to Problem 1 (a renovation rather than construction). Clearly, a job cannot start processing until after the resources needed are available. With the above understanding, the earliest dates for each job to start at are listed in Table 3. Jenny designed her schedule for the project as shown in Table 4. Answer the following questions, Q1, and Q2:.

The origin of the time axis should be labeled as 3/1/2020. Q2: To ensure everything is correct, you review Jenny's schedule for any dates in Table 4 that appear to be infeasible. Since Jenny already announced the finish date of the project based on her schedule, you would try not to change this finish date. That is, if you don't see any issue with Jenny's schedule after your review, there is no need to change anything. Otherwise, you will need to reschedule the project. In this case, you will make the finish date of the project as close to Jenny's as possible. So, what is the finish date of the project after your review? mm/dd/yyyy Show your schedule including start and end dates for each job, IF you change Jenny's schedule.
