Project Management Exercise.
The instructions for Part 2 are as follows:
1. Access your MS Project file submitted (See attached .mpp file). Now, shorten this project so that the concert can take place as planned (September 4th).
2. Identify the tasks you will shorten to achieve this goal and adjust the durations of these activities so that the “finish time” indicates the concert can take place as scheduled. This is your “After” or “Crashed” entry screen.
3.
This will be your “After” Network Diagram
Tips:
1. Find the tasks on the critical path(s).
2. Crash the least expensive task(s) on the critical path(s).
