- You are managing a large construction project that’s been broken down intosub-projects (or phases). Each of these sub-projects is scheduled to takebetween three and six months to complete. At the end of each sub-project,you plan to go through the closing processes and document lessons learned.Which of the following BEST describes what you must do at the beginning ofeach sub-project or phase?A. Develop the preliminary scope statement for the phaseB. Make sure you don’t involve the team, to avoid introducing too much projectmanagement overheadC. Use the Earned Value Technique to decide whether or not to finish the projectD. Release all resources from the project and contact sellers to renegotiate allcontractsYou are in charge of a project at the local community center. The center needs to remodel one ofthe rooms in time for the start of a new program. Delays in the project mean that the center mustrent other space at a nearby church at additional cost. Time and cost data for your project arecontained in below table. Your interest is in minimizing the cost of the project to the communitycenter.Using the normal times for each activity, what is the earliest date you can complete the project?Suppose the variable overhead costs are $50 per day for your project. Also, suppose that thecenter must pay $40 per day for a temporary room on day 15 or beyond. Find the minimum-costproject schedule using below format.The AON diagram for the community center project is below. Crash 4 times and find total cost.Select the best answer for the following questions: 1) An ongoing process that evaluates and implements functions that drive a business is: a) Mission impossible b) Continuous improvement c) Quality control d) Cost effectiveness 2) Project Schedules are meant to provide a path forward to guide the project planning process, but not all activities are on the 'critical' path. Those activities not on the Critical Path are distinguished by including: a) Cost of activity b) Total Float c) Long Lead time d) Negative Lag 3) At what point in an engineering project is the Engineer involved? a) Conceptual Development b) Providing specifications c) Design Development d) Financial pro-forma 4) Engineers are characteristically good at all of the following but: a) Analyzing critical data b) Providing alternate solutions to process development c) Delegating tasks for a project d) Provide Quality control during design.
