Part A
A0. A very brief PID (Project Initiation Document)
A1. Develop tentative target start and completion dates for each activity
A2. Recommend which alternative to select for the sewer activity
A3. Recommend which alternative to select for the stream activity
A4. Estimate the total expected cost for the two contractors selected for the sewer and stream
activities
Part B
For this part (answering B5 and B6) use three different approaches /tools given below:
Part B-1 PERT analysis
Part B-2 Simulation analysis
Part B-3 USM analysis
B5. Give a dates by which you are 75, 90 and 99% sure that the entire project will be completed
B6. Recommend whether to spend $25,000 for additional legal assistance that would reduce the
most likely time to attain the final permits and releases (activity Z) from 15 to 12 days and its
pessimistic time from 25 to 18 days.
Part C
Assuming the project requires many resources but only A, B , C and D are critical resources, costing
40,30,20 and 10$ per day, develop an optimal budget and schedule assuming the planned duration for
each task is set to be m (mode, most likely value) for each task given in the table 2.
N.B. As per strategic objective of the company there is no resource limit imposed on the planning
department.
C7. Analyse the proposed project plan from planning perspective
