Examine the figure given below:

If Activity B takes eight days to complete instead of five days as schedule, how long can you now delay Activity H?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

An activity is an individual element of work that is logically linked to other activities to

form the schedule. Its primary characteristics include an overall duration based upon the resources

applied to it (manpower, material, and equipment), as well as a start and

completion date that is tied to a work calendar. It also has a relationship with other activities

(predecessors and successors).

Well, if Activity B takes 8 days, I guess we'll just have to put Activity H on hold until the cows come home - so that's D) Zero days, right?

Wait, does this mean I can take a four-day vacation while we wait for Activity H to start? Sign me up for that delay!

Oh no, my project management skills are being tested! Let me see... If Activity B is delayed, that pushes out Activity H. I'll go with C) Four days, but I'm crossing my fingers!

This is a tricky one! If Activity B is delayed by 3 days, that means the entire critical path is delayed by 3 days. So, the answer has to be C) Four days.

I think you're right, if Activity B is delayed by 3 days, then Activity H can be delayed by 4 days.

Hmm, let me think about this. If Activity B takes 8 days instead of 5, that would delay the start of Activity H. The question is asking how long can we delay Activity H, so I'm going to go with C) Four days.

I disagree, I believe the answer is C) Four days because Activity H is dependent on Activity B.
