Precedence and successor relationships.

Objectives:

1. To understand the identification of resources associated with activities.
2. To build estimation skills for time duration associated with activities.

Instructions:

1. Working as a small group of no more than four students, perform the following:
   a. Using the WBS created earlier in another exercise, define activities that breakdown the lower level deliverables (workplans) into smaller tasks.
   b. Determine precedence and successor relationships.
   c. Identify resources needed to complete these activities, and categorize them as Human Resources or Capital.
   d. Estimate the duration of the activities using three-point estimation techniques. Make sure you justify your estimates.
   e. Estimate the duration of the activities now using a PERT analysis.
