MS Project Problem - Suppose we have a complete activity predecessor table (shown below). Using MS Project, enter the activities, their durations and predecessors (use default Fixed Units). Submit the MS Project Plan based on the activities below to the appropriate Dropbox (10 pts.). Duration Predecessors 3 -- Activity B C 2 A A A, B, C D D 2 3 E F 3 E G 1 F H 5 G Activity Description Conduct competitive analysis Review field sales reports Conduct tech capabilities assessment Develop focus group data Conduct telephone surveys Identify relevant specification improvements Interface with marketing staff Develop engineering specifications Check and debug designs Develop testing protocol Identify critical performance levels Assess and modify product components Conduct capabilities assessment Identify selection criteria Develop RFQ (Request for Quote) Develop production master schedule Collaborate with sales staff Prepare product launch 4 1 J H 3 G 2 J K L 6 M N O 12 3 4 I, K L M M NO P 5 Q 1 R 3 Q 6. Identify the total Duration: A) 34 days B) 55 days C) 57 days D) 62 days 7. Identify the Critical Path: A) A-(C through 1) -L-M-O-P-Q-R B) A- (C through 1) - L-M-O-Q C) A-(C through 1) -L-M-P-Q D) A-(C through G) - L-M-O-P-Q-R 8. If Activity B, Review field sales reports, takes 7 days to complete instead of the 2 days estimated, what happens to the total Duration and why? A) Total Duration does not change because slack not totally used up B) Total Duration does not change because only used up slack that was available C) Total Duration increases by 2 days, because used up 3 days of slack plus 2 additional days D) Total Duration increases by 2 days, because of critical path change, slack not used over available amount 9. Assume Activity B takes 7 days as stated in the previous question. Activities A through I are now 100% complete. What is the total project percent complete? A) 42% B) 46% C) 53% D) 57%
