Question
Consider a software development project with the following information. Suppose the cost
rate for developer is $5000/week.
1)Construct the project activity network using AON methodology.
Pattern

ES: Early Start

EF: Early Finish
LS: Late Start
LF: Late Finish
SL: Slack (also called float value)
D: Duration
ID: Activity ID
AON

2)Calculate the early, late and float times for each activity. Identify the critical path.
Activity Duration ES EF LS LF Float
(weeks)
A 4 0 4 0 4 0
B 2 4 6 4 6 0
C 2 6 8 6 8 0
D 3 6 9 6 9 0
 E 5 8 13 8 13 0
F 7 0 7 0 7 0
Critical Path:
There are two critical oath in this network diagram, these paths are highlighted with red
color.
Critical path1: A-B-C-E
Critical path2: A-B-D

3)Develop the Cost baseline for the project based on the early start times(ES)
Cost Baseline
Developer cost= $5000/week
Activity Duration Number of Developer Fixed Cost $ Total Cost $
(weeks) Developer Cost $
A 4 2 40,000 40,000
B 2 1 10,000 10,000
C 2 2 20,000 20,000
D 3 1 15,000 15,000
E 5 2 20,000 20,000
F 7 1 10,000 10,000
