PERFORMANCE HOMEWORK Exercise 11.1 PERT

Task Likely Optimistic Pessimistic

Task A 10.00 8.00 15.00 Task B 12.00 10.00 15.00 Task C 12.00 5.00 25.00 Task D 10.00 5.00 18.00 Task E 2.00 1.00 5.00

Directions Complete the PERT calculations for the project given the likely, optimistic, and pessimistic estimates for the five critical path tasks: • Each task’s three-point duration • Project’s total likely duration • Project’s total three-point expected duration Compose a statement comparing the likely duration to the three-point expected duration. Do the calculated results seem reasonable? Organize your calculations and statements and consolidate into one PDF document. Exercise 11.2 Client Metrics Background This exercise continues your student project that will be used for several homework exercises. The scenario is that you work for the fictitious company: Bear Claw Corporation. You are a project manager assigned to a new project. You are in the defining and planning phases and tasked to produce the project planning documents. This exercise determines client metrics. Directions Based on the material presented in the Project Metrics (week 9), Stakeholder Metrics (week 10), and Client Metrics video lessons, identify at least three client metrics. Endeavor to include at least one cost and one schedule-based metric. For each stakeholder metric provide:
