The interactive table for the On$-$Safari project $($as described in Section $3\mathrm{.}2$ of Block $3$ Part $5)$ is over a week late because some essential components were late being delivered. Listed below are three critical path activities the Project Manager, Jane, has identified in the interactive table schedule, with their possible solutions to reduce their length. From each description, identify the method that has been selected to bring the project back on track.

a$)$ Design and build prototype. Jane has previously used a contractor, James, for short$-$term additional development work. He is free at the moment and could be asked to help develop the prototype.

Approach to solving the problem described in part a$)$: Blank $1$ Question $7$

b$)$ Analyse findings. This was scheduled to take Mustafa and Sofia five weeks, but Jane has had a chat with Mustafa and he thinks he could reduce his effort on this task by a week and make a start on recommend changes before the findings are completely analysed and so complete on time.

c$)$ The interactive table. Instead of allowing the children to rearrange their photos, this would be done automatically by the system in a prescribed manner.
