Critical Path: (Unit 4)
The project critical path is important; because if an activity on
the critical path delays; the project delays. In looking at your
project, what activities are on your critical path (note all might
be if you have your activities in serial sequence)? How could
you work to limit the number of activities on the critical path?
How could you proactively put measures in place so if an
activity slips by a couple days the entire success of the project
is not jeopardized? Respond with at least 5-6 sentences.
Response:
Resource Constraints: (Unit 4)
Your project may or may not have resource constraints. A
resource constraint would be present if you have an individual
working on one or multiple activities and do not have enough
capacity in order to finish that activity on time. In reflection of
your project; does any of your activities have resource
constraints? If so, discuss how you can correct that. If your
project doesn’t have any, pretend that a manager of yours stated
a certain activity had to get completed sooner than what you
anticipated; thus, causing a constraint. How would you work to
overcome your constraint (reference your text as applicable).
Respond with at least 5-6 sentences.
