If it is necessary to crash to 250 or 240 days, how would Hill do so, and at what costs? As noted in the case, assume that optimistic time estimates can be used as crash times.
How do i fully crash a critical path when given the following question. a) Fully crash the critical path taking the work package back to the shortest possible duration. You should thwith the activity with the lowest cost per unit crash time and progress to the activity with the highest cosp per unit crash time. Show the crash sequence of cost against time using suitable form of graphical representation. b) Summarize the main sources of duration estimating data used by organizations when assembling project schedules.

[Chapter 14. Managing Projects] The US Defense Department has planned to develop an intelligent warfighting capability by providing continuous wireless communication capability to update the current battle situation, which opens the way for the warfighters to out-smart opponents. In consideration of its importance, the Army started as a big program that contains numerous projects from small-sized tank development for fast deployment, wireless communications equipment development, software development, logistics system development, to training system development, all at once. The necessary technologies of the combined wireless communications are yet to be developed. Software development was not easy to convert the operational concept into software programming with no precedent experience. In this case, what kind of problems or risks would arise as the program proceeds? The new warfighting concept is novel, but development details are not easy to accomplish. In this…
