Reference the preliminary project schedule (see figure below), answer the following questions.

Reference the preliminary project schedule (see figure below), answer the following questions.

NOTE: The critical path of this project comprises of Tasks 3, 4 and 6.

Question 1: Perform resource leveling for this project (without delaying the project). How many workers would you need?

Question 2: Using the smallest-slack-first rule, perform a resource-constrained leveling of the project for a scenario where only three workers are available to work on this project. What is the new project completion date?

Instructions: You can copy/paste the grid multiple times to document each iteration of the resource leveling heuristic. Add rows and columns as needed. You are free to use another format to do this assignment, if you like. Crtitical Path is 3-4-6
