Assume that during the first week of the project your team discovers that the activity duration estimates were all wrong. Rather than3 weeks, Activity 2 will take only two weeks to complete, whereas both Activities 4 and 7 will take three times longer than originally estimated. Further, all other activities will taketwice as much time to complete. In addition, your team has noticed that additional training is needed. This new activity, number 11, will take one week to complete, and depends onthe completion of Activities 10 and 9.
