Question 1.
What is an activity duration?
Show hintHide hint
Think about how long a task is completed.
Question 2.
Define float.
Show hintHide hint
Consider it as a safety buffer in scheduling tasks.
3Question 3.
What is the least total float approach?
- Allocating resources randomly
- Prioritizing tasks with the least float
- Ignoring activity durations
Show hintHide hint
Remember, float indicates how critical a task is to the project timeline.
4Question 4.
True or False: A critical path can change throughout the life of a project.
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Think about how project dynamics can influence task relationships.
Question 5.
You are managing a project with 5 activities. Activities A, B, and C are critical, while D and E have floats. If A and B need 1 crane each and can't start till Activity C is done, how will you allocate resources to minimize delays?
Show hintHide hint
What happens if cranes are allocated inefficiently?
Question 6.
Consider a construction project that originally planned to finish in 20 days without constraints but hit resource limitations. If your new timeline extends to 29 days due to equipment scarcity, evaluate how transitioning the least float activities first helps alleviate future scheduling.
