Description

Option #2: Schedule Chart Analysis

Download and examine the project task list from the link provided in the module. Based on this task list, you will create a PERT chart and write a paper that discusses the following:

  • Identify which set of tasks create the critical path.
  • Determine which task would be best to crash to reduce the critical path.
  • Determine if there is a change to the critical path by crashing the task. Is there a new critical path?
  • What other information would be beneficial to know to see if the selected task was the best option for crashing?

Your paper should be 2 pages, well written and in conformity with APA format for style and writing expectations. Your PERT chart is part of your page requirements. Include a title page and a reference page that includes at least two outside references to support your analysis.

So, task AB starts at point A and ends at point B. For tasks BC and BD, they both start Consider this your "dependency" for the project. While most traditional PERT charts have a weighted average, consider the days to complete and crash as the established weig You must create a PERT chart for both pre- and post-crashing.
