what is the earliest the project can complete?

You are the project manager of the BHG Project. You are creating a network diagram as shown in
the figure:

Mary, a project team member, reports that an identified risk is likely to happen in the project that
will affect the completion date of Activity D . She reports that the risk event will likely cause the
duration of the activity to increase by six days. If this happens what is the earliest the project can
complete?

A.
32 days

B.
29 days

C.
27 days

D.
26 days

Explanation:
If Activity D increases by six days, the duration of the project will not change. There is 11 days of
float available for Activity D so it may delay by six days without affecting the project end date.
What is float?
Float or total float (TF) is the total amount of time that a schedule activity may be delayed from its
early start date without delaying the project finish date, or violating a schedule constraint. It is

calculated by using the critical path method technique and determining the difference between the
early finish dates and late finish dates.
Answer options A, B, and C are incorrect. These are not valid answers for the question.
