Question 1
Analyze as well as compare the performance of the following two projects in terms of cost, schedule, and efficiency. Make sure to show your calculations as well as analyze and explain the results
Project A: The EV is $92,000 and the actual cost is $175,000. The PV is $173,000
Project B: The EV is $68,000 and the actual cost is $69,000. The PV is $71,000
Question 2
An environmental consulting firm has been appointed to clean up contaminated ground water beneath the site of a former chemical factory. The clean-up design process contains of evaluating several alternatives, preparing a theoretical design for the most appropriate alternative, appraising the conceptual design by performing a small-scale pilot test on site and based on the results of the pilot test and preparing a final design.

The installation will contain of the following phases- recovery wells, treatment equipment, piping, and start up
The consultant will as well be responsible for system-performance monitoring, which consists of sampling the groundwater, monitoring wells on a periodical basis and sampling the groundwater treatment-system discharge
Create a work breakdown structure (WBS) for this project with activities corresponding to a two-level task as well as subtask hierarchy. Number the WBS codes therefore that the level of each activity is clearly identified. Don't worry about indentation
Question 3
You are a project manager at a bike shop and you just received a shipment of new bikes that need to be assembled. The frames essential to be set, which contains the bike frame, handlebars and seat. The wheels require to be mounted. The braking system require to be installed. Beforehand the bike can be sold, it required to be tested by the quality team and road tested. You have accumulated your team of experts, and they are worried to get started
a) To guarantee you have a clear scope for your team, make a two-level WBS. Don't forget to comprise your WBS numbering
b) In your WBS how many work posts have been created?
