What is the critical path and how long is the project expected to take?
(a) Develop a network diagram for the project. What is the critical path and how long is the project expected to take? (6 m)
(b) Which activities have a slack time of 8 weeks or more? (2 m)
(c) Discuss five challenges a project manager faces in events such as this one. (12 m)
(d) Why is a work breakdown structure useful in a project such as this? Take the 26 activities and break them into what you think should be level-2, level-3, and level-4 tasks. (5 m)

Which one is not correct about the critical path method (CPM) in project management? Duration of a project is equal to the duration of its critical path. There could be more than one critical paths. Crashing a project is shortening the duration of the critical activities. The tasks on the critical path can be delayed without delaying the project duration. Slack times of activities on a critical path are zero.

To develop a schedule for a project, we use the concept of a project network diagram, which shows work activities taken from the work breakdown structure and organized according to the logical flow in time and relationships governing when the work will be performed. Address the following questions. How is that useful? How does it help to organize the tasks in the project? How will it help in formulating the budget?
