Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
You are managing a project with 5 activities. Activities A, B, and C are critical, while D and E have floats. If A and B need 1 crane each and can't start till Activity C is done, how will you allocate resources to minimize delays?
💡 Hint: What happens if cranes are allocated inefficiently?
Consider a construction project that originally planned to finish in 20 days without constraints but hit resource limitations. If your new timeline extends to 29 days due to equipment scarcity, evaluate how transitioning the least float activities first helps alleviate future scheduling.
💡 Hint: How does prioritizing reduce risk in project management?
