Project Management

1. A project is summarized below with duration and predecessor.

Duration Immediate
Activity
(weeks) Predecessor
A 5
B 4
C 4 B
D 8 A, C
E 2 B
F 5
G 4 E, F
H 4 D, G
I 2 H

1. Draw a network diagram of the project. Find the critical path and duration of the project
2. Calculate float/slack time of the non-critical activities

2. The network diagram and estimated activity time (days) of a project are given below.

Activity a b m Predecessor
A 9 9 9

B 5 11 8 A
C 1 5 3 A
D 2 4 3 B
E 3.5 8.5 4.5 B
F 3.5 8.5 6 C

G 3 9 4.5 E, F

H 2 4 3 E, F

I 3 5 4 D, G

J 5 7 6 H, I

Find
(a) The probability of completion in 30 days.
(b) The minimum number of days needs to assure 100% completion.
(c) The probability to completion the activities A, C & F in 22 days.
3. . The estimated activity and time of a project are given below.

Activity a b m Predecessor(s)

A 8 12 10
B 5 11 6.5
C 2 6 5.5 A
D 3 11 7 A
E 6.5 15.5 8 B
F 2 4 3 C
G 3 9 4.5 E, D

Find:
(a) The probability that the project can be completed in 20 days.
(b) The completion time with a 95% chance of completion.
(c) If pessimistic time prevails during completion of activities D and G, optimistic
time prevails in activity B and most-likely time for other activities then, what
would be the project time and critical path.

4.Activities and duration of a project are given below.

Duration (Week)
Activity Predecessor(s) Optimistic Pessimistic Most likely
(a) (b) (m)
A 7 11 9
B A 5 11 8
C A 1 5 3
D B 2 4 3
E B 5.5 8.5 4
F C 3.5 8.5 6
G D, E, F 3 9 4.5
H E, F 2 4 3

(a) Draw a network diagram and find the critical path and project completion time considering
expected time as duration.
(b) Find the probability to complete the project in 23 days.
