Activity 15: Individual: Activities/Assessments
Given the activities of a project; their optimistic (to), most likely (tm) and pessimistic (tp) time
estimates; and their immediate predecessors shown below:
A - 1 4 13 5 3
B A 4 7 16 8 4
C A 2 2 2 2 3
D C 4 6 14 7 3
E - 1 3 5 3 9
F E 3 5 13 6 9
G - 7 10 13 10 0
H G 6 7 14 8 0
I B, D 1 1 1 1 3
J F, H, I 13 16 25 17 0
G-H-J 10+8+17 35
Earliest completion time= 35 months
A-B-I-J 5+8+1+17 31
A-C-D-I-J 5+2+7+1+17 32
E-F-J 3+6+17 26
G-H-J 10+8+17 35
The critical path are G – H – J, since it is the path that takes the longest time to finish.
3. Which activities are noncritical (can be delayed)?
The noncritical activities are the rest of the activities that are not critical. Therefore, the non-critical
activities are: A, B, C, D, E, F, and I.
4. How long can each of the activities be delayed without delaying the whole project (maximum
slack)?
A 3 MONTHS DELAY
B 4 MONTHS DELAY
C 3 MONTHS DELAY
D 3 MONTHS DELAY
E 9 MONTHS DELAY
F 9 MONTHS DELAY
G 0; CANNOT BE DELAYED
H 0; CANNOT BE DELAYED
I 3 MONTHS DELAY
J 0; CANNOT BE DELAYED
