Please crete original Gantt chart for the project using project activities given in Conduct a critical path analysis and carefully apply the 3-point estimate technique on identified critical activities to develop an estimated project schedule. It is assumed that all critical activities will accelerate 10% if Project team performs to the best efficiency. On the other hand, without appropriate collaboration or control, the entire durations from Phase B will creep by 20%.
