Option #2: Resource Schedule

You have determined the following schedule for a project in which the key resource is a backhoe. You receive a call from your partner, Delvin, who desperately needs one of your backhoes for four days. You tell Delvin you would be willing to let him have a backhoe if you are still able to project in 13 days.

Develop a resource schedule in the Resource Load Chart Download Resource Load Chartwhich follows to see if it is possible to lend Delvin a backhoe for four days and still complete your project in 13 days. Be sure to record the order in which you schedule the activities, using scheduling heuristics. No splitting of activities is possible.

Can you say yes to Delvin's request? If yes, which days would you lend him the backhoe? If not, why not? Thoroughly address the question but include the chart as an Appendix to your paper.
