is still over allocated. (See Gantt chart 3.1) 3. What is the impact of leveling within slack on the sensitivity of the network? Include a Gantt chart with the schedule table after leveling within slack. The sensitivity of the network is increased. The slacks are reduced which lead to a loss of flexibility. The probability of activities delaying the project is increased because the reduction of slack creates more critical activities and critical paths. As in the Gantt chart 3.1‚ there are more critical

4. Include a Gantt chart with the schedule table after leveling within slack. As in the Gantt chart‚ there are more critical activities (marked on red). 5. Assume the project is resource constrained and resolve any over allocation problems by leveling outside of slack. What happens? Using leveling outside of slack‚ the over allocation problems are resolved. However‚ the length of the project has increased and the new end date is now 19/7/2012. 6.

using the Gantt chart view in MS Project. This appendix provides a similar explanation of how to build a project schedule‚ but it is based on using a PERT/CPM chart or diagram for the schedule format. A Gantt chart and a PERT/CPM chart both provide essentially the same information about project activities and tasks. Each chart has unique strengths and weaknesses. As you learned in Chapter 3‚ a Gantt chart is a type of bar chart that is superimposed on a calendar. The primary strength of a Gantt chart

path is made up of a series of tasks that must be completed by a schedule date and/or time. Any task on the critical path that will affect whether the project finish date is delayed is called a critical task. You can view the critical path using any Gantt Chart (McDonough‚ 2012) view. Knowing when a task is slipping or late or when a project ’s end date must be adjusted enables managers to make important decisions for their team. A couple of advantage to using Critical Path Method (CPM) is it is helpful
