(Note: This question only tests your understanding of the relationship between duration, units and work in a scheduling context. It does not require you to actually use MS Project.) You are responsible for managing a project's schedule in MS Project. Among other tasks, the schedule contains a programming task, which is defined as follows: . The tasks duration is 4 days .The task is defined as an auto-scheduled, effort driven, fixed duration task. The following resources have been allocated to the task: Resource Name Units Resource Type programmer 1500 %work Looking at the project options in MS Project, you find that one day equals 7.5 hours. How many man-hours in total are associated with this programming activity according to MS Project? (If necessary, round to two decimal places.) man-hours It is now decided that 4 additional programmers should be added to the programming task. So, you increase the number of programmers by 400 % in the Task Information dialog for the for the programming task. What is the new task duration in MS Project? (If necessary, round to two decimal places.) days What is the new total of man-hours associated with this task in MS Project? (If necessary, round to one decimal place.) manhoursExplanation / Answer
Number of days = 4
Hours per day = 7.5
Number of programmer = 500% Hence 5
a) So, Total man hours = Number of days*Hours per day*Number of programmers = 4*7.5*5 = 150 hours
b) Total man hours required = 150
Number of programmers increased by 400%. So, number of programmers = 5+4 = 9
Hours per day = 7.5
Number of days = Total man hours/(Hours per day*Number of programmers) = 150/(7.5*9) = 2.22 days
The Total man hours associated will be same as in above case = 150 hours
