Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

A project has three activities: A (3 days), B (2 days), and C (5 days). Activity B must follow A and cannot start until A finishes. If A can float 2 days, how does this impact the overall project duration?

💡 Hint: Think about how the float of A interacts with the dependency on B.

Challenge 2 Hard

You have a project with multiple critical paths due to overlapping activities. If one path takes 20 days, and another takes 18 days, what is the minimum completion time, and how can you manage resource constraints?

💡 Hint: Consider the strategy for optimizing the work on the longest path.
