- Hi, I need help answering the last question. Rob Smith is managing a small project at Boston University. He is under pressure to shorten the overall duration of the project by 4 weeks and he wants to do so at the lowest cost possible. In order to meet this objective a number of activities must be crashed. Activity Normal Time (weeks) Crashed Time (weeks) Normal Cost Crashed Cost Predecessor(s) A 5 3 $800 $1,200 - B 6 5 $300 $450 - C 6 5 $550 $775 - D 3 2 $750 $950 A E 6 3 $1,350 $2,250 C F 5 3 $675 $875 B What is the total cost of crashing the project 4 weeks (just the additional cost, not total project cost)? (Display your answer to two decimal places.)The following represents a very simple project. The calendar allows for 5 work days (M-F) per week. To keep things simple we won’t separate capital expenses and labour. The cost per activity shown below is total (i.e. not per day). Activity Duration (days) Precedent Cost A 5 None* $500 B 7 None* $1000 C 3 A , B $400 D 4 C** $500 E 6 C** $800 * Except for ‘Start’ ** The project can only be signed off once D and E have been completed. Enter the data into a software tool such as GanttProject, and generate the Gantt chart. Please ensure that: 1.…please help, project management. I need part D,Eand 2 1) Given the following information for a one-year project, answer the following questions. Recall that PV is the planned value, EV is the earned value, AC is the actual cost, and BAC is the budget at completion. PV=$22,000 EV=$20,000 AC=$25,000 BAC=$120,000 a) What is the cost variance, schedule variance, cost performance index (CPI), and schedule performance index (SPI) for the project? Show your calculations. b) How is the project doing? Is it ahead of schedule or behind schedule? Is it under budget or over budget? Explain. c) Use the CPI to calculate the estimate at completion (EAC) for this project. Is the project performing better or worse than planned? Explain. d) Use the SPI to estimate how long it will take to finish this project. e) Sketch the earned value chart for this project. 2) Write a one-page summary explaining how is project cost management different when using an Agile approach? Make sure to document any cited…
- A student has been put in charge of a new garden design. The new design will involve five different activities. Per project management guideline, activities “a” and “b” start on day 0. Draw the network diagram. Calculate ES/EF/LS/LF and Slack for all activities. Activity A: Immediate Predecessprs (-) Duration days (3) Activity B: Immediate Predecessprs (-) Duration days(5) Activity C: Immediate Predecessprs (a) Duration days(3) Activity D: Immediate Predecessprs (b) Duration days(7) Activity E: Immediate Predecessprs (C,D) Duration days(3)Please Answer the following questions:- How does earned value give a clearer picture of project schedule and cost status than a simple plan versus actual system?- Schedule variance (SV) is in dollars and does not directly represent time. Why is it still useful?- In month 9 the following project information is available: actual cost is $2,000, earned value is $2,100, and planned cost is $2,400. Compute the SV and CV for the project.- On day 51 a project has an earned value of $600, an actual cost of $650, and a planned cost of $560. Compute the SV, CV, and CPI for the project. What is your assessment of the project on day 51?Dave is the project manager for a construction project that is building agazebo. When the project first started, he met with the stakeholders to definethe scope. The sponsors mentioned that the gazebo is a really important partof their daughter’s wedding ceremony that was planned for 7 months fromthen. In fact, they said that if the gazebo couldn’t be completed in 7 months, itwouldn’t be worth it for them to even start the project. Dave wrote down the7-month deadline to put in his Project Scope Statement. In which section ofthe document did the deadline appear?”A. Project ConstraintsB. Project DeliverablesC. Project ObjectivesD. Project Assumptions Which of the following is a “hygiene factor” under Herzberg’s Motivation-Hygiene Theory?A. Recognition for excellent workB. Self-actualizationC. Clean clothingD. Good relations with coworkers and managers
- Dave Fletcher was able to determine the activity times for constructing his laser scanning machine. Fletcher would like to determine ES, EF, LS, LF, and slack for each activity. The total project completion time and the critical path should also be determined. Here are the activity times: Activity Time (weeks) Immediate Predecessor(s) Activity Time (weeks) Immediate Predecessor(s)A 6 - E 5 BB 8 - F 6 BC 2 A G 9 C, ED 3 A H 7 D , F Dave's earilest start (ES) and earliest finish (EF) are: Activity ES EF A 0 6 B 0 ?
