Question 1: Forecast the duration of the activities that are currently in progress assuming their current rate of progress will continue till the end of the project. Find out the remaining duration as per the forecasted duration.

Step 1 - Determine activities in progress (ID 30 and ID50) - Less than 100% complete

Step 2 - Calculate actual duration from activity start date to status date for each activity in progress. The remaining duration calculation must be computed using the % of work completed to date.

ID 30 - Activity 30 Super Substructure

Actual Duration up to status date = ____#weeks to status date (Activity start date -7/20) thru (Project Status Date - 10/28)

% of work Complete = 75% (From Chart above)

New Duration at 100% = 100 * _ #weeks to status date / 75 (% of work complete) = ______ #weeks to complete 100%

Remaining Duration at 25% = _____ weeks to complete 100% - #weeks to status date __________

ID 50 - Activity 50 Interior

Actual Duration up to status date = ______#weeks to status date (Activity start date -8/31) thru (Project Status Date - 10/28)

% of work Complete = 50% (From Chart above)

New Duration at 100% = 100 * _____#weeks to status date / 50 (% of work complete) = ______ #weeks to complete 100%

Remaining Duration at 50% = _____#weeks to complete 100% - #weeks to status date ___________
