Pert Analysis Exercises

1. The network diagram shows 16 tasks with dependencies to complete a project. Task 2 has the longest expected duration at 90 days. The critical path includes tasks 2, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, and 15, with a total expected duration of 250 days. 2. The critical path tasks that need careful watching are 2 and 9 due to their long durations, which could impact the project's timely completion if delayed. Non-critical tasks 4 and 10 also require attention as their slack times are low. 3. The project is expected to finish by the planned deadline of 250 days based on the current expected task durations.
