Highlight project status on day 14 using the tracking option and assuming that all tasks to date have been completed on time. Print/capture the output file.
2. Using the information in Problem 1, highlight the project's status on day 14 but assume that activity D has not yet begun. What would the new tracking Gantt chart show? Print/capture the output file.
3. Use the following table to calculate project schedule variance based on the units listed. (Figures are in thousands.)
