1. Network diagram

a) Draw an AOA network diagram representing the project

Figure 1: AOA Network Diagram

b) Identif a!! of the paths on the network"iagram

Note: Assume all durations are in days.

in/e the /riti/al ath is the longest ath through the netor2 diagram3 Path !3 A – D – 

F – G – $ – % – L3 is the /riti/al ath #or this roe/t ith 4& days.

d) $hat is the shortest possib!e time needed to comp!ete this project%

(5en though the /riti/al ath is thelongest ath3 it reresents the shortest time re6uired

to /omlete a roe/t. 7here#ore3 the shortest ossi8le time needed to /omlete this roe/t is

4& days.&. 'antt chart

a) (sing the information in ab!e *+#, draw hori-onta! bars to i!!ustrate when ou think 

each task wou!d !ogica!! start and end. hen use roject &/1/ to create a 'antt chart and

network diagram based on this information.

b) Identif at !east two mi!estones that cou!d be inc!uded under each of the process groups

in ab!e *+#. hen write a detai!ed description of each of these mi!estones that meets the

0A2 criteria.
