Hello class,
Congratulations on making it through to week four! I am looking forward to working with you all in week 4.
First I want to thank the whole class for turning in solid participation and responses. You guys were great! Keep up the good work. I am expecting the same amount or better participation in week 4.
The required readings for Week 4 are the following:
Learning outcomes for Module 04
Learning outcomes for last week’s Module 03
Content
In Module 4, we identify and learn to apply PERT and CPM and we will see a network diagram of our tasks. The tools we use help us represent the important actions to complete the project and give us a way to communicate quickly with the team. We will also consider crashing and fast-tracking a project along with resource allocation.
Critical Thinking Assignment
In week 4, a critical thinking assignment is due. Choose one of the two assignments options to complete this week. Do not do both assignments. Identify your assignment choice in the title of your submission.
Have a great week 4 and please reach out to me if you have any questions!
Best,
