No way, it could still finish on time if others pick up the slack.

I agree, two days late seems likely. Can't skip critical tasks.

Activity B is critical, so yeah, it impacts the end date for sure.

Wait, are we sure it’s just two days? What if there are other delays?

The project schedule is fixed, so any delay will affect the end date.

I thought I recalled something about buffers in fixed schedules, but if there’s no buffer, then the lateness should directly affect the end date. I’m leaning towards C as well.

This seems similar to a practice question we did where a delay in a critical task pushed the end date. I feel like the answer is C, but I’m not 100% confident.

I’m not entirely sure, but I think if Stephen is two days late and it’s on the critical path, the project could be late by those two days.

I remember we discussed how fixed schedules can really complicate things. If Activity B is critical, then I think the project might be late.
