1) Using the table below, calculate the expected time for all the activities (20 points).
Expected time = (o+4r+p)/6
2.
a. Using above data, manually draw a network diagram for the above activities. (10 points).
b. Calculate the earliest completion times for each of the activities listed above (15 points).
Earliest completion times:
A = 6
B =6+7 = 13
C = 6+6= 12
D = 6+5 = 11
E = 11+8 = 19
F = 19+7 = 26
G = 19+5 = 24
H = 19+4 = 23
I = 26+4 = 30
J = 30+8= 38
c. Calculate latest completion times for each of the activities listed above
A =11-5 = 6
B =30-13 = 17
C =19-12 =7
D = 19-8 = 11
E = 26-7 = 19
F = 30-4= 26
G = 30-4 = 26
H = 30-8 = 30
I = 38 -8 = 30
J = 38
d. Calculate slack times for each of the activities listed above
A =6-6 =0 B =38-8 = 30
C =26-7= 19
D = 11-11=0
E = 19-19=0
F = 26-26 =0
G = 26-24 =2
H = 30-23= 7
J = 30-30=0
I = 38-38=0
e. Indicate the activities that is/are in the critical path
A – D- E- F- I = J
f. Using project management software, draw a Gantt chart for these activities
g. Using project management software, draw network diagram for these activities

h. Compare your hand-drawn network diagram with the one generated using project
management software
A hand-drawn network diagram makes it easier to see what activity must be completed before starting a new activity. It looks more ‘3D’. It looks more ‘busy’ with all the calculations, but it provides a good context of the order of activities. The diagram generated with project management software looks more ‘flat’ and clean. It is a bit harder to identify what activities must be completed first before moving to the next one. This diagram shows critical paths in different colors, and it makes it stand out.
