HW24: Chapter 23
23.6. Figure 23.14 shows the task durations for software project activities. Assume that a serious, unanticipated setback occurs, and instead of taking 10 days, task T5 takes 40 days. Draw up new bar charts showing how the project might be reorganized.
The picture above is a Gantt chart with the task T5 taking 40 days instead of 10. After reviewing the data, there doesn't seem to be a way to improve upon the current ordering. With only T10 being directly dependent on T5 but also dependent on T9 and therefore T6 which in turn is dependent on T3 and T4, the change of T5 from 10 to 40 has no negative impact. This all assumes that there were adequate personnel for each task as they became available and that T5 started at day 1 originally.
