Using Microsoft Project, compute the project network diagram and proper timing to complete the project.
Address all required information in the description presented in exercise 9. In addition, respond to the
following questions:
Determine which tasks are on the critical path. How long will it take to complete the project (hint:
note that Microsoft Project provides this information)?
a. After placing the data from exercise 9 into MS Project, the timeline estimated a total of 14
days needed to complete the product. It makes sense how the system consolidated the tasks
that have parallel relationships. It is not as simple as adding up all the days, because I tested
that theory, and by doing so, the project will be completed in 18 days, which is not the correct
answer.
A task that is on the critical path for this project has increased by 7 days. Will the project end date
be delayed? If so, by how much?
a. As the textbook stated in chapter 6, the critical path is the path that takes the longest duration
through the network; if an activity on the path is delayed, the project is delayed the same
amount of time. So, I used the last activity in the path and inflated the task from 1 day to 8
days (7 extra days). As a result, the project is now estimated to be completed by 10/28/2020,
which sets the project back a total of 9 days.
Complete Chapter 6, Exercise 18 (Optical Disk Pre-installation Project) in Larson and Gray. Use
Microsoft Project and create a project schedule based on the information provided in the problem.
Will the project be completed in 45 weeks? In your Microsoft Project file, insert a text box in the
Gantt bar area (go to FORMAT DRAWING TEXT BOX) and place your response in the text
box.
a. According to the estimate, the project can be completed in 6.28 weeks if no delays occur. I
also added my response in a text box as instructed.
