INTERNET CHALLENGE Creating Memories

Your Internet challenge is to help plan the 50th wedding anniversary party described at the beginning of this chapter. Use the list of activities that were identified for the party preparation and search the Internet for information on each activity. Complete the following:

  1. Find time estimates for each activity. You can add to the list but you must include all the activities.
  2. Develop a project schedule for the party. You can use either PERT or CPM. You can use PERT with single time estimates, but you will not be able to calculate the probability of on-time completion.
  3. Determine the critical path for the party.
  4. Based on the party date, determine when activities on the critical path must be started and finished.
