Respond to the following questions:
- Determine the unconstrained critical path and its length (use days for Question 2, use weeks for question 3; use project days only, no weekends).
- Determine the total hours and the hours per person required to complete the work?
- Determine the total labor cost and the labor cost per person?
- Prepare a Gantt chart illustrating the project length using constrained resource assignments and illustrating logical precedence diagramming for each activity (e.g., show finish-start relationships). Include color-coding by resource for each bar of the Gantt chart.
- Develop a responsibility histogram for each resource over the length of the project and describe what adjustments, if any, were made to the project schedule to effectively deal with resource overloads or other schedule conflicts related to precedence (logic) requirements
- Prepare a resourced-constrained (yet resource-leveled) critical path and its length.
- Prepare a figure similar to Exhibit 9.9 (CPM) illustrating a cumulative cost curve.
