UTILIZE the MS Project application and skills learned in previous assignments and exercises to complete this practice exercise on an individual basis. Use Fixed Units (the MS Project default. No need to save/submit MS Project plans.
1.Refer to the activity network table below. Enter this information using MS Project to produce a Gantt chart. Assume that each resource has been assigned to the project activity on a full-time (8 hours/day or 40 hours/week) basis. (5 pts.)
Activity Duration Predecessors Resource Assigned
A. User survey 4 None Gail Wilkins
B. Coding 12 A Tom Hodges
C. Debug 5 B Wilson Pitts
D. Design interface 6 A, C Sue Ryan
E. Develop training 5 D Reed Taylor
a.What is the project’s Duration?
b.Select the Resource Usage view that identifies the total number of hours and daily commitments of each project team member. What member(s) of the project team is/are overloaded?
A)Duration = 28d, no resources overloaded
B)Duration = 24d, Gail Wilkins overloaded
C)Duration = 32d, no resources overloaded
D)Duration = 32d, Gail Wilkins overloaded
2.Refer to the activity table shown in Problem 1. Suppose that we modified the original table slightly to show the following predecessor relationships between tasks and resources assigned to perform these activities. Modify the plan in Problem 1 and enter this information using MS Project in order to produce a Gantt chart. Assume that each resource has been assigned to the project activity on a full-time basis.

2.a. project duration is 27, with critical path of A-B-D-E
b. all the members carries only assigned works and work B allotted more weightage than others
