Question

A project contains activities D and K. Activity D has 5 hours of slack, and activity K has 7 hours of slack. If activity D is delayed 4 hours, activity K is delayed 6 hours, and these are the only delays, then the overall effect of these delays is to delay the minimum project completion time by: Select one:

a. 2 hours b. 0 hours c. The overall delay cannot be determined with only this information d. 11 hours

Answer 1

The difference between the scheduled completion date and the required date to meet the critical path is the amount of slack time available.

Since the the delay of 4 hours for activity D is kess than slack time, there will be no delay in the project completion by delay in activity D.

Since the the delay of 6 hours for activity K is kess than slack time, there will be no delay in the project completion by delay in activity K.

Thus, there will be no delay in the project completion. The answer is,

b. 0 hours
