Problem and Exercises at the end of Chapter 6 (Methods of IT Project Management text).
Part 1. Create a network diagram from the data set in problem 5. Identify the critical path and the project duration.
(Create an activity on arrow diagram based on the following information: Task A, duration 2, no dependency Task B, duration 4, no dependency Task C, duration 7, no dependency Task D, duration 5, depends on Task A Task E, duration 3, depends on Task B and Task C Task F, duration 8, depends on Task C Task G, duration 10, depends on Task D and Task E Task H, duration 4, depends on Task E Task I, duration 7, depends on Task F Task J, duration 12, depends on Task H and Task I)
Part 2. Perform PERT calculations using the data set in problem 9. Did the project duration change with the PERT analysis? If so, why?
(Use the schedule created in question 5 but adjust the durations using PERT calculation from the three-point estimates below and recalculate slack. Task A, Optimistic = 1, Normal = 2, Pessimistic = 5 Task B, Optimistic = 2, Normal = 4, Pessimistic = 8 Tack C, Optimistic = 3, Normal = 7, Pessimistic = 12 Task D, Optimistic = 3, Normal = 5, Pessimistic = 10 Task E, Optimistic = 1, Normal = 3, Pessimistic = 6 Task F, Optimistic = 3, Normal = 8, Pessimistic = 15 Task G, Optimistic = 7, Normal = 10, Pessimistic = 22 Task H, Optimistic = 3, Normal = 4, Pessimistic = 6 Task I, Optimistic = 5, Normal = 7, Pessimistic = 12 Task J, Optimistic = 10, Normal = 12, Pessimistic = 15)
