8- The first Gantt chart in the following graphic displays the schedule for a telecom site
construction project. According to the original plan, the first two activities (Select Site and
Negotiate Lease) should have been 100% completed and the third activity (Perform Civil Works)
should have been 50% completed. However, only the first two activities have actually been
completed, and no work has been performed on the third activity.
Today is 9/13/11. The project manager recalculates the schedule and this pushes the third activity
from its scheduled start date 8/29/11, to the current date 9/13/11. Because this would have made
the project late, the project manager then adds a 15 day lead time to the fourth activity to bring
the project back on schedule.

(Top graphic = original schedule. Bottom graphic = schedule after the changes. Effects of the
change are highlighted).
A*Resource Leveling
C*Crashing
D*Fast Tracking
9- Marilyn is managing a project to create a new mobile device application being developed for a
global insurance provider. Because Marilyn's project is behind schedule, she is using a scheduling
tool to try different techniques to help get the project back on schedule. Marilyn first adjusts some
leads and lags in order to minimize any slack on the project. She then tries to fast track the project.
As a result, the project is aligned with the current time constraint. However, when Marilyn uses
the "Level Resources" feature, the project finish date again goes past the time constraint. What
should Marilyn do next to resolve this dilemma?
A*Marilyn must make sure that she did not make a mistake when using the "Level Resources"
feature
B*Marilyn must not use the "Level Resources" feature after fast tracking the project
C*Marilyn must undo those adjustments she made to the leads and lags
D*Marilyn must examine the critical path and see how crashing affects the project

completed. However, only the first two activities have actually been completed and due to
unforeseen circumstances, no work has been performed on the third activity.
