Joe is the project manager of the HJN Project. Joe's project is a renovation of an office building.

What is the best approach Joe can do to alleviate this issue?

AAdd lead time to the painting activity.

BChange the relationship of the carpet activity and the painting activity to finish-to-finish.

CCreate a dummy activity between the painting activity and the carpet activity for the duration
of the drying process.

DAdd lag time to the carpet activity.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A

The float for Activity I is three days. The early start for Activity I is Day 17 and the late start for

Activity I is Day 20. Therefore, the difference of

the early start and the late start reveals the float as three days. It is possible, and acceptable, to use

the difference of the early finish and the late finish to find the float, as the value will be the same

amount. Answer options B, D, and C are incorrect. These are not the valid calculation for the total

float.

I think the best approach is to add lead time to the painting activity.
