The technical development working group has presented to you the network diagram to show the planned sequence of activities in a workstream they will be working on. Besides the diagram, they show you a summary table of the activities, predecessors, duration in days and the number of people assigned to each activity. 1 A = 2 B = 3 C = 3 2 Activity Predecessor A B C D E F G H A B B C D, E G F, H, I 4 3 D=6 2 E=4 Duration (Days) 3 3 6 4 1 5 3 4 2 G=5 5 F = 1 2 3 H = 3 No. of People (resources) 2 3 3 2 1 1 3 7 6 J = 2 1=4 Person-days 8 a. Compute the person days planned for each activity in the table above. Provide your answer in the last column of the Table above (2 marks) b. In the following table define each project path (by listing the Activities in order), the days they will take to complete the activities on each path, and the slack on each path (8 marks) Path Activities Path 1 Path 2 Path 3 Path 4 Path 5 Path 6 A, B, C, E, G, I, J Total Duration for Path in days 20 27 18 A, B, D, E, G, I, J A, B, C, E, G, I A, B, D, E, G, I 25 A, B, C, E, H, I, J 25 32 A, B, D, E, H, I, J 0 7 2 5 5 Slack on Path in days 12 c. What is the Critical Path illustrated by the ADM network diagram? List the Activities involved and the total duration? (2 marks) d. This part of the project should be completed over thirteen (13) working-days, and six (6) people are allocated to that team. The members of the working group have asked you to explain how this can be done. Here are some key considerations: . It will be impossible to start the earlier. The Project Sponsor has made it clear that the Go Live for the pilot node should be in 13 days and cannot be extended. . Number of People Begin your explanation by building a histogram in the following grid. Then phase the Activities and allocate the resources as required to meet the objectives. The final diagram that you provide as your answer must be clear, readily understandable, and illustrate how you can level/smooth this workstream to complete the activities in the allocated time with the available resources. Use colour shading to distinguish activities (10 marks) 9 8 7 6543 There is no funding available for additional staff or overtime. The general sequence of the activities shown in the ADM must be achieved. Fortunately, all members of the team can do any task that is required. 2 1 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Project Days 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 e. Finally, briefly explain how you have achieved this objective and your reasoning behind the leveling/smoothing
