1.2. Resource Allocation Assumptions

Try these first

1. 1.

   Define float in project management.

   Hint

   Think about the flexibility of scheduling.

2. 2.

   What does the critical path represent?

   Hint

   Focus on the longest sequence.

3. 3.

   What is float in project management?

   • The quickest time to complete a project
   • The amount of time an activity can be delayed
   • The total duration of the project

   Hint

   Think about scheduling flexibility.

4. 4.

   True or False: The critical path can change during a project's execution.

   • True
   • False

   Hint

   Consider the dynamic nature of project management.

5. 5.

   Your project has five activities, A with a float of 0 days, B with 1 day, C with 4 days, D with 2 days, and E with 3 days. Outline how you would prioritize resource allocation based on float and provide justification.

   Hint

   Focus on the float values.

6. 6.

   If activity B is delayed by 3 days, how might that affect your project’s timeline considering resource allocation has been optimal?

   Hint

   Assess the impact on the critical path directly.
