network diagram

 You created network diagram for your project based on a chart when all of a sudden the person completing activity C says you must plan for a lag of 2 weeks after the completion of  the activity  before starting the next actvity. Which of the following is the FIRST thing to do?

A) Make Start, A,D,G,End the critical path in order to save the time

B)See if the duration of activity H can be shortened

C)Calculate project float after the insertion of the lag

D)Nothing, because the 2 weeks could be assigned to activity E

 

Activity                            Preceding Activity                             Duration

Start                                   None                                                        0

A                                         Start                                                          1

B                                        Start                                                           2

C                                        Start                                                           6

D                                         A                                                                10

E                                         B, C                                                           1

F                                           C                                                              2

G                                          D                                                              3

H                                          E                                                               9 

I                                            F                                                               1

End                                     G,H,I                                                          0

D?


 


ading lag of 2 weeks doesn't change the critical path, insteadactivity will start 2 weeks later compared to earlier critical path of C-->E-->H

Answer is given as C.

The very first immediate action that a PM has to do is recalcualtion of Float due to insertion of lag, then only he come to know the further effects which is given in option D. This question is asking about immediate action not effect.

 Thank You!!!

hi vijayavadrevu. i'm just curious if this network diagram refers to the actual network on the floor? i mean sorry to ask but hope you can also provide us with schematic diagram. likewise, is this has something to do related to your work or project perhaps? hope it's alright to inquire but i get really interested on it. cheers. buying soundcloud plays

 This problem was from one of the mock tests. I tried to paste the table containing the above details, but failed to do so. Hence typed but a very bad work done. No schematic diagram was provided in the question
