Create the following schedule using Microsoft Project (Set the start date as January 6, 2020)

Activity Expected Duration Predecessors
A 2 days
B 3 days A
C 4 days A
D 4 days B, C
E 5 days B
F 6 days D
G 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.
