M6-1 Assignment (See below) 2. M6-2 Assignment (See below) 3. M6-3 Assignment (See below) 4. M6-4 Assignment (See below) M6-1 Assignment Create the following schedule using Microsoft Project (Set the start date as January 6, 2020 Activity Expected Duration Predecessors 2 day B 3 days A 4 days A 4 days B. C 5 days B 6 days D 4 days C, E, F and then answer the following questions: 1. Show the critical path (Task/Format/Check Critical Path box). Set current data as baseline schedule (Select Project/Set Baseline and accept defaults). Show comparison to baseline (Click Project/Format/Baseline and check Baseline box). What is the critical path, its duration, and expected finish date? Include a copy of the Gannt Chart 2. Assume that activities B and C are linked with a "finish to finish" relationship. Does that change the expected completion date for the project? How did the schedule change? 3. For activity F, add a lag of three days to its predecessor relationship with activity D. By adding the 3-day lag to F, what is the new expected duration for the project? How did the schedule change? 4. Suppose you now added a start to start relationship between activities F and G to the new Gantt chart. How does this additional relationship change the duration, expected completion date schedule? 5. Submit your project file and a copy of the final Gannet Chart. Use the attached Template document file to present your answers.

M6-2 Assignment When deciding on whether to crash project activities or not, a project manager was faced with the following information, Activities of the critical lath are highlighted with an asterisk: m- 1. What is the project's normal critical path and duration of project? 2. Calculate the 'Per week cost' for crashing each activity. 3. Identify the sequencing of the activities to be crashed in the rst four steps. Which of the critical activities should be crashed rst? Why? 4. After four iterations involving crashing project activities, what has the critical path shrunk to? (Assume all noncritical paths are
