Question 1. Carole Poland is working as a project manager on a project where the plan includes: high-risk tasks, tasks that require hourly billing for labour, tasks of relatively short durations and tasks where stakeholders have a very strong interest. Carole needs to track actual work at the most detailed level possible in MS Project. What strategy would you recommend to Carole?

2. Project manager Carole Poland is showing a member of the steering team (Donny) the project Network Diagram view in MS Project. Carole explains that Tasks are represented as boxes, which are also called nodes, and the relationships between tasks are drawn as lines connecting the nodes. Donny says that he has two questions: a) What do the nodes with an X dawn through them represent? b) What do the nodes shaped as parallelograms represent? Please answer these questions for Donny.
