Answer 1

1. A Master schedule identifies major types of activities and approximate start and end dates for use in decision making about the scope of the project.

2. A schedule of activities that is prepared every two weeks is the Detail schedule.

3. How does a conceptual schedule differ from a master schedule?

The primary difference between master schedule and conceptual schedule is:

• Conceptual schedule is the simple schedule, which defines the major activities or tasks of the project as well as defines the start and end of the project.
• Master schedule is created after the project gets finalized. This schedule gets included in the contract signed between the 2 parties.

4. If two activities are concurrent and they have the same completion date, they have a finish-finish relationship.

5. A calendar that shows when a person, facility, or key piece of equipment is available is a resource calendar.

6. The path through the network diagram that has trnal site.he longest total duration is the critical path.

7. The difference between the sum of the activity durations along the critical path and the project completion date is the project slack.

8. If two sequential activities overlap and the successor activity can begin three days before the predecessor begins, those three days are called lead time.
