  1. Uncertain activity duration (P14) Consider the IS development project network given below: C 3 2 E A G D 1 5 6 F B 4 The systems analyst has made estimates of the optimistic, most probable, and pessimistic times (in days) for these activities as follows:

Show the PERT/CPM network for this project. b. What are the critical path activities and expected project completion time? c. Prepare the activity schedule for this project. d. If the analyst wants a 0.99 probability of completing the project on time, how far ahead of the scheduled meeting date should she begin working on the project?

  4. Critical and non-critical paths (p16) Q1- Why the probability of completing a project on time is based on the analysis of the critical path? Q2- In what case, if any, would it be desirable to make the probability computation for a non-critical path?
