Will the tramp be able to be completed by the whitethorn 20 deadline? How long will it slang? Yes, the bemuse will be finished by March twenty-seventh 2009. That means 54 calendar long time ahead of schedule.It takes 695 twenty-four hourss to be completed. 2. What is the critical path for the project? There are two critical paths that share the same beginning and end. They differ from exactly two separate activities * Clear Stadium Site = Drive Support Piles = Pour pooh-pooh Concrete Bowl = Pour Main hoi polloi = Install Seats = Construct S teel Canopy = Light Installation = Inspection. * Clear Stadium Site = Drive Support Piles = Pour Lower Concrete Bowl = Construct Upper Steel Bowl = Install Seats = Construct Steel Canopy = Light Installation = Inspection.If the total project time has to be reduced, the length of the critical path has to be shortened. The length of critical path is equal to the sum of durations of critical tasks. Here, it is equal to 695 days. Any balk of a critical task will delay the entire project. The essential technique for using CPM is to construct a model of the project that includes the following * A list of all activities required to complete the project (typically categorized within a work breakdown structure), * The time (duration) that each activity will take to completion, * The dependencies between the activities. 3.Based on the schedule would you recommend that G&E pursue this contract? Why? Include a one page Gantt chart for the roll schedule. Yes as the estimated completion date is March 27th 2009. It is 54 calendar days ahead the deadline, 38 working days. It means that they have a pilot program of 38 working days. Moreover, even if there are two critical paths, as mentioned they differed from only two separate activities. Finally, if too much delay occurs, pass or over-time can be used to catch up. Defining the Project Project overview Project name Greendale Baseball Stadium.

Customer review Unknown, but it could be the city sportive commission. Step 2 Establishing the Project Priorities Quality and the ultimate victory of a project are traditionally defined as meeting and/or exceeding the expectations of the customer and/or upper management in toll of cost (budget), time (schedule), and performance (scope) of the project. A good trade-off has to be made among time, cost and performance. The objective of the project is a Baseball Stadium that we presume has to last for at least 50 years. Thus project priorities are especially performance but also time as the stadium has to be finished before season start of 2009. Cost has to be taken into account, but doesnt not represent the main focus within this project. Because of that, this project represent a risk for G&E as cost flexibility is really limited . Time Performance Cost Constraint Enhance brook Figure 1 Project Priority Matrix Time The schedule of the project has to be respected otherwise a penalty clause of $100,000 per day will be applied, which represents 5% of the estimated profits of the project. But it can be reduce. This is why it is a enhance priority. Performance Performance of the project is fixed, they cant be compromised and has to be respected. Cost Going over budget is acceptable though not desirable, especially considering the small estimated profit in comparison of the sizing of the project.Step 3 Creating the Work Breakdown Structure The WBS is a map of the project, it is an outline of the project with different levels of detail. We divided it into 3 main points 1. Initial prep and discussions with management team This category regroups the upper management decisions. It analyses the whole project and selects a project manager as well as a team. 2. Project management activities This category regr oups the middle management issues such as cost management, human resources managements, risk management 3. Building stadiumThis category specified in straddle the tasks needed for the construction of the stadium. They are the same as the ones used in the Gantt chart. REFERENCES Baker, S. (2004).
