1.4. Resource Constraints

Try these first

1. 1.

   What does 'float' mean in project management?

   Hint

   Think about project delays and their impact.

2. 2.

   What is a project network diagram?

   Hint

   Consider how activities in a project are organized.

3. 3.

   What is the critical path in project management?

   • A. The shortest path through the project
   • B. The longest path determining project duration
   • C. The path with the least float

   Hint

   Remember, it’s about the total time to complete the project.

4. 4.

   True or False: Float allows for an activity to be delayed without affecting the project timeline.

   • True
   • False

   Hint

   Think about managing project timelines.

5. 5.

   Given a project with three activities A, B, and C where A (5 days, float 2), B (3 days, float 0), and C (4 days, float 1). Allocate resources considering float and completion timelines. How does allocation affect the overall project timeline?

   Hint

   Consider the float for each activity when making your decision.

6. 6.

   Imagine a scenario where a new resource becomes available mid-project. How could this impact your ability to allocate resources? Redefine your project timeline based on the new availability.

   Hint

   Think about how overlapping activities could utilize new resources effectively.
