however, you must also upload the original file as well. Clearly title each file with the name of the
assignment AND your name (first / last).
4.
Provide in the appendix all the relevant MS Project items.
a.
Attach a screen shot of each MS Project Scenarios (the original scenario each subsequent
variation as well).
b.
You must also attach the original .mpp file(s) as well. Clearly title each file with the name of the
scenario AND your name (first / last). The instructor may use this file to check and validate the
work submitted is the students own work and ensure that the xl is properly set up with the

30 marks for the attached and completed work (rough work / calculations
10.
The assignment is worth 4.5% of your overall mark.

Questions:
Question 1. (5 marks)
a)
Using the information provided in the table above, draw the AOA network diagram representing the project. Put
the node numbers in the circle and draw arrows from node to node, labelling each arrow with the activity letter
and estimated time.
b)
Identify all the paths on the network diagram. Calculate the estimated duration of each path.
c)
What is the critical path for this project and how long is it?
d)
What is the shortest possible time it will take the project to complete?
Question 2.
Using the Network Diagram (from above), fill in the table for each activity.
(8 marks)
Use the following Table format to summarize your answers. You will need to exoand the table to list all activities.
Please use the same order as above: A, B, C, etc.
for the rows. NOTE, this table will be on your summary page.
However, you must provide all the relevant information for your network diagram in the appendix. You must
show each of the values for each activity in on the network diagram.
Activity
Early Start (ES)
Early Finish (EF) Late Start (LS)
Late Finish (LF)
Free Float (FF)
Total Float (TF)
A
B
etc.
Question 3.
Using the information for the small project in the first table above, create the project within MS
Project. Once you have created the original project, make the following changes, and answer the applicable
questions. ALL these scenarios are to be modeled in MS Project with applicable screen shots for each of the
scenarios (original, change a), change b), and change c)) provided in your submission (appendix) as well as the
.mpp file for the initial network diagram.
(12 Marks)
a)
The duration for
activity I
is extended, and the new estimate is
I = 5 days
. What is the impact to the critical
path and/or the critical path duration (if any)?
b)
Revert to the initial state (original network diagram and reset I = 3 days). Now, the duration for
activity D
is extended, and the new estimate is
D = 4 days
. What is the impact to the critical path and/or the critical
path duration (if any)?
c)
Revert to the initial state (original network diagram and reset D = 2 days). The project team had a change
order that resulted in
descoping of
activity I
from the project. What is the impact to the critical path
and/or the critical path duration (if any)?
