What day would Activity C complete if the duration of Activity A was reduced by five days?

D40

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B

To calculate the completion day for Activity C:

Reduce Activity A's duration by five days.

Recalculate dependent activities' start and finish times using forward pass logic (PSP Study Guide, Subchapter 2.2.4, 'Relationships').

Sum up the adjusted durations to determine the completion day for Activity C.

This aligns with the logic of schedule adjustments and dependencies as outlined in the PSP Study Guide.

But 35 doesn’t account for the reduction.

If A is shorter, C finishes sooner.

Definitely not 45, that's way too long.

I feel like I should be able to figure this out, but I can't recall the exact method we used in class. Maybe I should just take a guess based on the options.

I'm a bit lost on how to calculate the new completion day for Activity C. Does it depend on the dependencies between activities?

This kind of question seems familiar! I think we practiced a similar one where changing one activity's duration affected the finish date of another.

I remember something about how reducing the duration of one activity can impact the overall schedule, but I'm not sure how that applies here.
