Appendix D, analyse the possible consequences for Roberts Media plc if activity ‘G’ (equipment installed) and activity ‘E’ (design marketing campaign) are both delayed by four weeks. Critical path analysis is the mathematical network analysis technique of planning complex working procedures with reference to the critical path of each alternative system. One possible consequence is that there will be a four week delay for activity ‘G’. This will therefore lead to the launch taking 25 weeks instead of

Rassy and the team were concerned with the results of your analysis. They spent the afternoon brainstorming alternative ways for shortening the project duration. They rejected outsourcing activities because most of the work was developmental in nature and could only be done in-house. They considered altering the scope of the project by eliminating some of the proposed product features. After much debate, they felt they could not compromise any of the core features and be successful in the marketplace

Earliest start (ES) is defined as the earliest possible time that a task can begin. Predecessors are completed before an activity can begin. The latest start time (LS) is the latest time that a task can begin without delaying the entire project. For critical activities, the earliest start time and the latest finish time are equal; their total float is zero. On the other hand, Earliest finish (EF) is the earliest possible time that a task can be completed. It is computed as; earliest start time + activity
