Reducing project scope

Compromise quality

Question 2

Crash method

Answer 2

Brainstorm
Cash cost
Cast time

Elemental task
Normal point /// cost point

Slope : cRahs cost- Normal cost / Normal T - Crash Time
Unit: $/ time unit

crash time: The shortest possible time an activity can realistically be performed

Answer 4

P project prioritization matrix

network diagram in another way
Bar chart or gantt chart view\

no slack

1. Try to compute how many resources need to
   complete the first tag
2. comute the duration for each task
3. draw a vertical line representing a day of the project
4. tell the app the number resources fo r activity

5. draw a histogram ( resource distribution histogram)
    vertical axxis (qantity)///horiztonal axxis (y)

Deferring demand for resources

leveling. …
1. Unlimited resources
2. limited resources
