- 1.You’re managing a project to install 400 windows in a new skyscraper and need to figure outyour budget. Each week of the project costs the same: your team members are paid a total of $4,000every week, and you need $2,000 worth of parts each week to do the work. If the project isscheduled to last 16 weeks, calculate theBAC, PV, EV, AC, SPI, SV, CPI, SPI, CV for the project? 2.You’re managing a highway construction project. Your total budget is $650,000, and there isa total of 7,500 hours of work scheduled on the project. You check with your accountingdepartment, and they tell you that you’ve spent a total of $400,000. According to the schedule,your crew should have worked 4,500 hours, but your foreman says that the crew was allowed towork some overtime, and they’ve put in 5,100 hours of work. Calculate theBAC, PV, EV, AC, SPI, SV, CPI, SPI, CV for the project?Image of Diagram included Using the diagram, find: The critical path. How long it will take to complete the project? How does simulation determine the probabilities of various project completion times? What is "slack" and why is it important? Why is activity-on-arrow (AOA) or activity-on-node (AON) of significant value to the project manager? How is the uncertainty in project scheduling dealt with? Should the critical path activities be managed differently from noncritical path activities?
