The Activity Breakdown For A Certain Project Is As Under.: Example:1

The document describes a project with 14 activities and their durations in days. It provides dependencies between activities - for example, activity 2 can start after activity 1, while activities 4 and 5 can start concurrently after activity 3. Given a start date of October 14th and 5 working days a week, the solution is: (1) Total project duration is 34 days; (2) Project completion date is November 30th; (3) By November 10th, operations 1-3 and 5 will be complete, operation 4 half done, and operations 6-7 a third done.
