The start and finish flags indicate where the network begins and ends and have 0 duration. Activities A and D are implemented with resource type R1. Activities B, C and E are implemented with resource type R2. The duration of each of the activities is given inside parenthesis. The calculated duration of the project is A-D: 14+10=24 weeks.

We assume a rectangular course for the work load. This means that there is no up and down (fluctuation) period. 650 work hours in 14 weeks means that activity A requires 9100 work hours in total. This amount is the planned value at project start PVT. The planned value for the use of resource type R1 in activities A and D is: 9100 + 8000 = 17100 work hours Activity D has a duration of 10 weeks and demands 800 work hours per week. Therefore, activity D requires 8000 work hours in total. Http://www.prosjektledelse.ntnu.no

We then aggregate the PVT of R1 and R2, which gives us 35380 hours as the total planned work hours of the project. 17100 + 18280 = 35380 work hours Activity B requires 980 work hours per week for 8 weeks. This gives a PVT equal to 7840 work hours. The total planned value for use of resource type R2 in activities B, C and E is: 7840 + 3960 + 6480 = 18280 workhours Http://www.prosjektledelse.ntnu.no

In the highest part of diagram, we have created a Gannt chart with the activities. This chart follows the time labeled on the lower axis. First we draw the resource profile of R1. We see that there are 650 work hours per week for 14 weeks and 800 work hours per week for 10 weeks. Therefore, a small break in the curve is formed in week 14 and the ascent of the line becomes steeper. We see that activities A, B and C happen in parallel. When A is finished, activity D starts, and when B and C are finished, activity E starts. The durations, resource use and resource types for the different activities are given as well.

This happens during the first eight weeks. This results in a work load of 1360 work hours per week. Afterwards, activity C is executed alone until activity E starts in week 11. At this time, only activity E is implemented with resource type R2, which results in a work load of 720 work hours per week. If we aggregate curves R1 and R2, we get a curve for the planned value of the project. We see that this curve has breaking points from both resource catagories and ends at 35380 work hours.

For activity A there were 650 work hours per week for 11 weeks, which equals 7150 work hours. Now let’s assume that we come to the start of week 11 and implement a project follow-up. We set up a table and find the planned value at time t = 11 for all activities. For activity D, the PVt, AVt and EVt values are 0. This is natural since Activity D is not due to start before week 15. We then perform a physical count on how much the work is over schedule. We find the earned value EVt. for activity A, which it is 6800 workhours. Http://www.prosjektledelse.ntnu.no

Activity A will be implemented at a rate of 980 workhours for 8 weeks. This gives a planned value of 7840 work hours.

Productivity is poor, and there is little variance in work magnitude. For R1, the values are the same as in activity A, since only activity A has influence. We will now calculate the productivity and variance in work magnitude for all of the activities. Productivity is equal to the ratio of earned value and actual value. Variance in work magnitude is equal to earned value minus planned value. We can not say the same thing for activity B, since B has not yet started and is not planned to start for some time.

Although the activity has miserable productivity, we see that A is on schedule since we supply more resources to it. Now we will find the new duration for all of the activities, T’, and for the entire project. We will continue to use the rectangular workload prerequisite. For activity D, we should assume that in reality the magnitude is 25% more. The average productivity for R1 is 0,80, therefore, the activity’s time will rise 25% from 10 to 12.5 weeks. 10/0,80 = 12,5 weeks Http://www.prosjektledelse.ntnu.no

On the other curve, we see that activity C is still longer than activity B, and that C has an extension of 3,8 weeks. Therefore, activities C and E become determinant of the duration of the BCE complex. Activity C has an extension of 0,3 weeks, so the extension of this part becomes: 3,8 + 0,3 = 4,1 weeks We see that A and D are expected to last respectively 0,7 and 2,5 weeks more. Altogether, this adds 3,2 weeks to branch A-D. Here, however, we have a float of 4 weeks. We subtract this from 4,1, so the total extension becomes 0,1 week in relation to the critical path The A-D branch then remains the critical path and the total extension of the project becomes 3,2 weeks.
