Reference no: EM132264720

From your previous work experiences and reference manuals, review the basic methodology associated with the PERT project management approach (using calculated values of task variance and task expected time for each task).  

a. Find the te (expected task times) and the task variances for each of project tasks.

A) V=0   te=2                                      Q)V=0.1    te=3

B) V=0.1  te=3                                    R)V=0.1      te=2.3

C) V=0.1  te=2                                    S)V=0.0625   te=1.083

D) V=0.027 te=2.16                            T)V=0.25  te=3.16

E) V=0.1    te=3                                  U)V=0.027    te=2.16

F) V=0       te=2

G) V=1       te= 15

H) V=1.361    te=15.83

I) V=1.361     te=17.83

J) V=1.362     te=22.16

K) V=0.1         te=2.3

L) V=0.027     te=2.16

M) V=0.4        te=4

O) V=0.0625    te=1.083

P) V=0.09        te=1.03

b. What is the critical path of the project, based on the new te values?

c. What is the sum of the variance values for the tasks on the critical path?   

d. Without crashing tasks, what is the likelihood of completing the project on or before week 39 of the project?  

e. Without crashing tasks, what is the likelihood of completing the testing (an important milestone in the project) before the end of week 37 of the project?
