Do the following:
1. Create the project and call it “Tampa Office Building-01.” 2 You may choose
the name you like. Enter the specified start date. Enter the nonworkdays in the
calendar. Enter the Responsibility and Area codes and values.
2. Enter all of the activities listed in the preceding table, along with their infor-
mation (duration, relationships, lag, responsibility, and area).
3. Schedule the project. Make sure there are no errors. Check all dates.
4. Determine the calculated finish date. Go back to the site work activity and put
in the appropriate constraint.
5. Schedule the project again. Print the scheduling report. As an option for a
better-looking report, save the report and then open it in your word processor.
Work on improving how it looks.
6. Print the following:
a. The scheduling report. Record the expected finish date (it should be
18-MAR-2016 3 ) for use in the next assignments.
b. A tabular report listing all activities, ordered by Activity ID. Compare this
with the preceding table to make sure that nothing is missing.
c. A tabular report listing all activities, ordered by ES (early start) and TF (total
float). This report should show all early and late dates as well as total float.
d. A tabular report that is similar to the previous one. Mask late dates and total
float. Check if the program automatically renames early dates as scheduled
dates. If not, do so yourself.
e. A tabular report for activities scheduled to start during the month of
September 2015.
f. A bar chart showing all activities, organized by Area, ordered by ES and TF.
g. A bar chart showing all activities, organized by Responsibility, ordered by
ES and TF.
h. A bar chart showing only critical or near-critical ( TF 3) activities. Do not

organize it. Sort it by ES and TF. Display the relationships.
i. A logic diagram. In each box (node), show the activity ID, and also show
the early dates, the late dates, and the original duration. You may have to
work on the size of the box so that the writing inside is legible and the
report is not enormous.
