1. Construct a network diagram using AON notation.
Answer:
Section: Project Management Concepts
Subsection: Step 2: Diagram the Network
LO: 16.2 Describe project management concepts.
Bloom’s: Application
AACSB: Analytic
Time on task: 2 minutes
2. Using the network diagram constructed in Problem 1,
a) Calculate the completion time for the project.
b) Determine which activities are included on the critical path.
Answer:
a) There are only two possible paths for this project:
A, B, C, E, G and A, B, D, F, G
Duration for the first path: 3 + 4 + 2 + 4 + 2 = 15 weeks
Duration for the second path: 3 + 4 + 5 + 3 + 2 = 17 weeks
b) Critical path: The critical path is therefore the second path, with the longest duration:
A, B, D, F, G
Section: Project Management Concepts
Subsection: Step 3: Estimate the Project’s Completion Time
LO: 16.2 Describe project management concepts.

3. Jack’s Floating Banana Party Company is planning to add a new party vessel for the
upcoming season. Jack has identified several activities that must be finished before the
start of the season. Using the following information,
Activity Activity Time (weeks) Immediate Predecessor(s)
A 6 none
B 5 none
C 3 A
D 3 B
E 6 C, D
F 9 D
a) Draw the network diagram for this project.
b) Identify the critical path.
c) Calculate the expected project length.
Answer:
a)
b) The paths are either: A, C, E or B, D, F and B, D, E
The respective durations are: 6 + 3 + 6 = 15 weeks; 5 + 3 + 9 = 17 weeks or 5 + 3 + 6
= 14 weeks.
The critical path is therefore B, D, F.
c) Expected project length = critical path = 5 + 3 + 9 = 17 weeks
