Question 1 - Answer

The document provides a table with project activities, durations, predecessors, and resource requirements. It asks to: 1) Draw the network diagram and identify critical path and floats. The critical path is A-E & H-K-L-M with total float of 3 weeks on tasks G and J. 2) Create a Gantt chart showing the critical path, total and free floats. The Gantt chart identifies the critical path and floats. 3) Draw a resource histogram and cumulative curve using the Gantt chart and resource requirements. The resource histogram shows resource requirements over time.

Session 6A – Project schedule management

Question 1 - answer
Using the information given in table 1:
a) Draw a network of the activities given in the table; identify the critical path, the total and free floats.
b) Use the network constructed in part (a) above to draw a bar (Gantt) chart. Indicate the critical path, total float
and free float on the chart.
c) Using the Gantt chart drawn in (b) and the resources shown in the table draw a resource histogram and
cumulative resource curve (“S” curve). Note – the resources given are the number of resources used per task per
week.
