PROJECT MANAGEMENT
1. Chapter 8, Exercise 6.
You have prepared the following schedule for a project in which the key resource is a backhoe. This schedule is contingent on having 3 backhoes. You receive a call from your partner, Brooker, who desperately needs 1 of your backhoes. You tell Brooker you would be willing to let him have the backhoe if you are still able to complete your projects in 11 months. Develop a resource schedule in the loading chart that follow to see if it is possible to complete the project in 11 months with only 2 backhoes. Be sure to record the order in which you scheduled the activities using scheduling heuristics. Activities 5 and 6 require 2 backhoes, while activities 1,2,3,4 require 1 backhoe. No splitting of activities possible.
Can you say yes to Brooker's request?
