Please answer the following questions:
1. What are the important time milestones for this project?
2. Given these time milestones, when should Robert start on the project? Draw a network diagram and determine the earliest and latest starting and finishing times for all activities. From a scheduling perspective, which activities are critical?
3. Comment on the time estimates for the various activities. Should Robert give himself more time? What are the pros and cons of doing so? Are there any pitfalls to starting too early? Where might he get good estimates of these times?
CASE STUDY including any trips outside the Rome area (such as to Florence Viva Roma! or Naples). Robert knew this would take a little time; museums Certe, toto, tio nos in kansa non iam adesse and historical sites in Italy do not keep typical business hours and some sites might even be closed for repair.
Robert felt that Robert Curtis had just been hired into his first academic job this would take at least three weeks as an assistant professor of Classics at Topeka State Universi With a detailed schedule in hand, Robert would then have One day in September 2017, not long after Robert had started to make air transportation arrangements (one week) and lo the department head came to talk to him cal transportation arrangements (about one week) and select Bob, I know it's a little sudden and we usually don't ask new the pensiones to stay in during the trip (three weeks).
Because assistant professors to handle such a task, but Id like you to Robert knew a lot of the time would be spent playing "tele put together our summer study abroad program in Rome phone tag" with various people, all three of these activities Professor Wurst has done it for the past 10 years, but he could go on simultaneously. won't be able to this year. Plan on about 15 to 20 students Finally, Robert thought he would need to give himself The program usually lasts about a month, going fro mon mid three weeks to finalize any loose ends.
For example, he might une to mid-July, but the college is usually flexible on the ex learn that there were no rooms available during the time he act dates. So what do you think? wanted to schedule a side trip to Herculaneum, resulting in the need to adjust the schedule and other arrangements. With the Even though he was new Robert thought working on this project would be a great opportunity, and he started to think finalized plans and costs in place, Robert would then need to about what he should do next.
He had never put together such a develop and post the online information packet for students one week) trip before, so it made sense to start by listing all the different ac tivities that had to take place to get the trip planned in time. Rob ert wanted to post the complete information packet by March 31,
Questions 1. What are the important time milestones for this project 2018, which would give prospective students plenty of time to plan for the trip and meet the May 15 registration deadline.
2. Given these time milestones, when should Robert start on The first thing Robert had to do was negotiate the exact the project? Draw a network diagram and determine the starting and ending dates with the college, as well as make a earliest and latest starting and finishing times for all activi rough estimate of the per-student costs. Specifically, Robert ties.
From a scheduling perspective, which activities are needed to know when the students would leave and when they critical? would be expected to return to the United States.
3. Comment on the time estimates for the various activities could do all this within one week. Should Robert give himself more time?
What are the pros Once Robert had these date and cost targets, he would and cons of doing so? Are there any pitfalls to starting too then need to develop a daily schedule of the sites to visit early? Where might he get good estimates of these times?
