Draw a project network from the following information. What activity(s) is a burst activity? What activity(s) is a merge activity? (10 marks) 4. You are creating a customer database for the Hillsboro Hops minor league baseball team. Draw a project network given the information below. Complete the forward and backward pass, compute activity slack, and identify the critical path. How long will this project take? How sensitive is the network schedule? Calculate the free slack and total slack for all noncritical activities. (20 marks) a. The slack associated with each project activity can only be derived following the completion of the forward and back-ward passes. Explain why this is true. b. Discuss in detail why the shortest total length of a project is determined by the longest path through the network. Why does the longest path deter-mine the shortest project length? (10 marks) 2. Use the information to create a Gantt chart for the project. 3. Given the project network and baseline information below. Create a phase time-phased budget for the project. (4 marks) Cost Per Week (Rands) 4. Develop a status report for the project at the end of period 8 given that at the end of this period, activities A, B, C, D, E are 100;100;100;25\%; and 33\% complete respectively. Activity F has not started at this stage. The actual costs for incurred for these activities are R300; R2200; R1500; R300;300. What information are you prepared to tell the customer about the status of the project at the end of period 8 ?
