Project Management Case $9\mathrm{.}2$ Whitbread Sailboat

This case presents you both schedule and budget challenges. You will need to apply crashing techniques and factor in indirect costs in the form of a hammock in the project network. Create a project schedule and then use the time$-$cost method to determine whether it is possible to meet the schedule deadline and budget. Use the crash cost table included in the assignment instruction attachment below and not the table in the text.
