Question #1: Final Exam REVIEW

Mark decided to improve the project's completion date by doing activities in parallel that were originally scheduled sequentially, which is an example of fast tracking (A). Crashing a schedule means doing activities that were sequenced in parallel to shorten the project duration (C). Resource leveling will generally reduce the overutilization of resources (C). The critical path is Start – A – B – J - Finish (D). The float for activity F is 8 days (B). If the project is crashed by 4 days, the total additional cost will be $21,000. The cost performance index is 1.33 if the task was originally scheduled to take 2 people but after 2 weeks was only 75% complete with 1 person (C).
