Unit V Course Project
Project ScheduleIn this unit, you are required to complete the Project Schedule section of the project plan. Refer to your unit lesson (from this unit and last unit) and required unit resources to advance your project plan. For this assignment, create the components listed below.4. Project Schedule: Include the duration estimates for all project activities, their activity networks, the project critical path, and estimated project duration.• 4.1 Activity Duration Estimates: Include a table with activity number, activity, predecessors, optimistic duration, most likely duration, pessimistic duration, and estimated duration. Be sure to show your paths as well as the critical path.• 4.2 Gantt Chart: Show the task, duration, predecessors, and the schedule leveling.• 4.3 Activity Network: Be sure to include fully completed nodes, including early start, early finish, late start, late finish, and activity float/slack.This assignment should be a minimum of two pages in length, not counting the title page and reference page. Be sure to use proper APA formatting. Citations are not required; however, if outside sources are used, make certain to provide in-text citations and references in APA format. For more elaboration on what you should include in your project plan, refer to pp. 539–542 in your textbook.

4. Project Schedule
The ASS concept is a complex, multi-phased project. Tasks, activities, costs and schedules are expected to experience differential delays or, conversely leads to a diversity of opportunities, challenges and constraints discussed in earlier project proposal, plan and work breakdown structure (WBS) documents. The planing of ASS schedule should, accordingly, proceed cautiously and account for understandable controllable and uncontrollable emerging and/or existing complexities and variables. The following graphs and representations are informed by such understanding of current project’s complexity and should not, as such, be accepted as final yet as only indicatory of project’s overall schedule and duration. The following sections include: (i) Basic Activity Network Diagram (BAND), (ii) Predecessor Task/Activity Table, (iii) Complete Activity Network Diagram Without Activity Nodes (CAND-W/O ANs),
* Complete Activity Nodes, (v) Activity Duration Estimates & Estimated Duration, (vi) Critical Path, and (vii) Gantt Chart.
4.1. Basic Activity Network Diagram (BAND)
This diagram, shown in Figure 1 below, shows major Tasks and Activities in ASS according to project’s “Aerial Solar System – Project Proposal,” “Project Plan,” and “WBS, RAM, Work Authorization & Work Charter” documents.

4.2. Predecessor Task/Activity Table
The BAND, shown in Figure 1, is, as noted, only schematic. The assignment of predecessors, i.e. Tasks/Activities preceding shown ones, as well as most likely duration for each Task/Activity, is required in order to proceed to Complete Activity Network Diagram Without Activity Nodes (CAND-W/O ANs). The following is, accordingly, a more detailed listing of Tasks/Activities in ASS project:
