Question

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.      You have Start and Finish nodes.

2.      That all nodes have connections (dependencies) on both sides (except the left-hand side of Start and the Right-hand side of Finish.

3.      You have no bars (float) running across your Gantt chart because of missing dependencies.
