BADM 425 -- Problem Assignment #10
Project Management (20 pts.)
Due: by 11:59 P.M. (CT) 05/04/15

This assignment has two separate problems. Complete the following problems and submit the file (in MS Word format) to the appropriate D2L drop box for this assignment. You must show me your work (computations) in this document in order to earn the credit. Handwriting on the screen or uploading a photo of handwritten work is unacceptable. I expect you to use the editing capabilities of MS Word to complete this problem -- I must be able to evaluate your responses. Do not change the filename (425Problem10.docx) when you submit the file to the dropbox.

b) Identify all paths, their expected times, and total slack for each path in the project and specify the critical path. What is the expected project duration?
The expected duration time is 19 days.
A,D,F, and G. 5+6+2+3= 16
B,E,f and G are the critical path because it is the longest path = 5+9+2+3= 19
C,H, and I = 4+6+1 = 11
C,H, and G = 4+6+3 = 13
