1. If the project starts on 1st January 2024, can it finish by the end of March 2024? (Develop a project network diagram, and do all necessary project time calculations to answer this question)

2. Which activities should be managed closely to avoid any delay in the project?

3. Project Management is usually involved in decisions about the project’s scope, time and cost, and trade-offs between them. Discuss what the scope-time, scope-cost, and cost-time trade-offs might mean in the project above.
