Exercises

The document provides four examples of project management exercises involving the critical path method (CPM) and program evaluation and review technique (PERT). For each example, key information like the activities, their durations, and predecessors are given. The exercises then ask questions about determining the critical path, project duration, impact of delays, and resource management.

Draw the PERT network and the Gantt chart. What is the critical path? When will the offering be available (completion of the project) What is the critical path to event 4 (legal documents, end of activities c and e)? What is the earliest time that this event can be reached? (e) What is the effect on the project if activity e (approvals) takes an extra week? Two extra weeks? Three extra weeks? 4. Construct a network for the following training and development project: Activity A B C D E F G H TE (Weeks) 3 5 14 5 4 7 8 5 Preceding Activities none none a a b b d, e g, f

(a) Draw the PERT network and the Gantt chart. (b) Find the critical path? (c) Assume activity a (hire trainers) took five weeks. Replan the project. (d) From where would you suggest transferring resources, and to what activities, so that the original target training date may be maintained?
