 Activity 3:
For the network below with all times indicating weeks, answer the following questions and justify
your answers:
a. What is the impact on the end date of the project if activity B slips by two weeks?
B has a slack of 9 weeks so a slip of 2 weeks would not impact the project end date.
b. What is the impact on the end date of the project if activity E slips by one weeks?
Since E is on the critical path, if it slips by one week the project end date will also decrease
by one week.
c. What is the impact on the end date of the project if activity D slips by two weeks?
D has a slack of 3 weeks so a slip of 2 weeks will not impact the end date of the project.

A, 6 D, 9

Start C, 6 End

B, 3 E, 6

Activity 4:
For the network below with all times indicating weeks, answer the following questions and justify
your answers: Critical Path= A-C-E-G
a. What is the impact on the end date of the project if activity F slips by seven weeks?
If F slips by 7 weeks, there will be no impact on the end date.
b. What is the impact on the end date of the project if activity E slips by one week?
Since E lies on the critical path, if it slips by one week then the end date for the project will
increase by one week
c. What is the impact on activity H if activity C were to slip by two weeks?
If C slips by 2 weeks, then H will also slip by two weeks as H depends on C.
d. What is the impact on the end date of the project if activity B slips by two weeks?
Slack of B is 3 weeks so a slip of 2 weeks will have no impact on project completion time.

 Activity 5:
For the network below with all times indicating weeks, answer the following questions and justify
your answers: Critical Path= C-F-H-K 28 weeks
a. What is the impact on the end date of the project if activity I slips by three weeks?
If I slips by one week its only path (C-F-I-K) will now take 27 weeks to complete, this will
have no impact on the project as its critical path takes 28 weeks.
b. By how many weeks can activity D slip before the project end date gets extended?
D can slip by one week max to finish on the 28-week mark, if it slips by 2 weeks the new
critical path will then take 29 weeks to complete.
c. If activity A slips by one week, how will the slack in activity G be impacted?
By A slipping 1 week, G will now take 6 weeks to complete as opposed to 7 so G will
decrease by 1 week.
d. If activity H can somehow be compressed from seven weeks to two weeks, perhaps by
adding a significant number of resources, what will be the impact, if any, on the end date of
the project?
If H=2 weeks the completion time will decrease from 28 weeks to 24.
