1. Project Network Diagram

Try these first

1. 1.

   What is the purpose of a project network diagram?

   Hint

   Think about what a flowchart does for processes.

2. 2.

   Define float in project management.

   Hint

   Consider how delays can impact timelines.

3. 3.

   What does float indicate in project management?

   • A measure of resource availability
   • The time an activity can be delayed without delaying the project
   • The total duration of the project

   Hint

   Focus on how much delay is permissible.

4. 4.

   True or False: The critical path has activities that can be delayed without delaying the project.

   • True
   • False

   Hint

   Consider the definition of the critical path.

5. 5.

   A project has activities A, B, and C with durations 4, 8, and 3 days respectively. Activity B is critical. If resource constraints limit work to one crane, how would you schedule these activities?

   Hint

   Consider the critical nature of activity B.

6. 6.

   You have identified a project with multiple critical paths. Discuss how you would manage resources effectively across these paths to ensure project completion.

   Hint

   Think about dependencies and parallel activity management.
