PCM Research paper Lesson 8

You have inherited a century old farm house and acreage in Montana. You have visited the site and made an inspection. The house needs a great deal of repair work to get it marginally livable. You have itemized the most important things that need to be done and estimated the time required as shown below. The total estimated time is 160 work hours.

You and your spouse or friend want to use this house for vacations and as a rental property. However, just buying the supplies to fix it up will max out your budget.

Therefore, if it is to be fixed up, the two of you will need to do the work. The two of you can arrange to take a two-week vacation. You have each committed to working 80 hours (160 hours total) over your vacation to fix up the house.

This is a multi-part exercise. For the first part, sequence the activities by developing an AON (you should be familiar with this by now) create a network path, using post it notes as a kickstarter:

Start with the activity(ies) that can begin immediately and continue to ask when this is done or when these 2 or 3 activities are done, what can we do next? For this step, you are only considering the logical order. In later steps, you will consider who will perform each step. It is expected that you will have some burst activities after which there are multiple things that can start. It is also expected that you will have some merge activities that can only start once multiple other activities are complete.
