PROJECT MANAGEMENT; PRACTICE PROBLEMS

Q 1. Activity A has no predecessor activity, it is the first, for activity B, the predecessor is
activity A, for activities C and D have B as the predecessor activity, for activity E has D as
the predecessor activity, for activity F has D as the predecessor activity, for activity G has E
and F as the predecessor activities and G is the las activity. Draw a network diagram?
Q 2. Activity A and B have no predecessor activity, for activity C the predecessor is activity
A, for activity D has B as the predecessor, for activity E the predecessor is activity A, for
activity F has C and D as the predecessor activities and F is the last Activity. Draw a
network diagram?
Q 3. Activity A has no predecessor activity, activity A has B and C as the successors, for
activity D has B as the predecessor, the successor of activity D is activity E, for activity F has
E and D as predecessor activities and F is the last activity. Draw a network diagram?
Q 4. Activity A and B precede activities C and D respectively. Draw a network diagram?
Activity Predecessor Duration
A - 2
B - 6
C - 4
D A 3
E C 5
F A 4
G B, D, E 2
For above table, Draw a network diagram? Compute forward and backward pass?
Q 5. Within a large city, some factors influence, how long it takes to drive from home to
office, the weather, the time of day, and any vehicle accidents on the road can impact the
duration to get from home to office on those roads, the most likely to come the office is 60
minutes, and to be optimistic is 30 minutes, but one of employees who had problems for
those roads said it is impossible to come the office for less than 120 minutes. Calculate the
expected duration and variance?
Q 6. Abdulkadir wants to paint his house because of Eidul-adha. Abdulkadir has full
confidence that the painting of the house can be completed for five days, and his brother
Ahmed argues that the most possible of painting the house completely cannot be less than
eight days, however his sister Amran says the house is big and cannot be painted completely
for five or eight days and it is needed much more time of at least twelve days to paint the
house completely. Calculate the expected duration and variance?

Q 7. Public health students are going to sit for the final exam of Project management course,
the students anticipated how will be easy the exam, Ahmed who is their class-monitors says
“the exam is easy and can be answered for 20 minutes” and Ali says “ 20 minutes is
impossible but 30 minutes is possible” but Yasmin who has a problem for the calculation sys
“not less than 60 minutes possible, because, the calculations are too long”. Calculate the
expected duration, variance, and standard deviation?
Q 8. Calculate the expected duration and variance?
Activity optimistic Most likely Pessimistic
A 2 5 8
B 4 10 16
C 6 9 12
D 5 7 12
