(a). State TWO contrasts between Pure Project Teams and Matrix Project Teams. Give an example of each
(b). The following data relates to the activities required for a project. Since exact duration for each activity is not known for certain, three time estimates were made, namely: - the optimistic, most likely and pessimistic time estimates. The precedence relationships are also shown in the data below. TIME ESTIMATES (days) ACTIVITY PREDECSOR OPTIMISTIC MOST LIKELY PESSIMISTIC
A. -- 36 50 56
B. -- 45 60 84
C. A 36 45 46
D. A,B 26 40 42
E. C 24 36 36
F. D,E 58 70 82
Complete the following information Activity Expected Duration Variance of Duration A B C D E F
i. Draw (electronically) the AON network for this project. Using the expected durations as the activity duration, conduct CPM analysis of the network.
ii. What is the estimated (i) expected (mean) time and (ii) Standard Deviation for project completion? What is the probability distribution of the project completion time? Why? iii. What is the probability that the critical path for this project will be completed within 210 days? 200 days? iv. If the client is comfortable with a 98.50 % of completing the project, what completion time would you recommend? [Please show your work]. USE EXCEL AND SHOW FORMULAS.
