Hmm, I don't know about you, but I'm always a little suspicious when the project schedule is 'fixed and cannot vary'. Maybe Mary needs to brush up on her risk management skills.

That's true, but if Stephen's assignment is critical, it could delay the whole project.

But the project schedule is fixed, so it will be late by one day.

Wow, this is a tough one. I was tempted to go with B, but after looking at the diagram, it's clear that C is the right answer. No shortcuts here, folks!

So, it's important for Stephen to try and catch up to avoid delaying the entire project.

Yes, the critical path clearly shows that any delay in Activity B will directly impact the project end date.

Haha, looks like Stephen needs to work on his time management skills. At least he's being honest about the delay, right? But C is the correct answer here.

I agree with Verona. The project schedule is fixed, and Stephen's two-day delay in completing Activity B will push the entire project completion by two days.

The project will be late by two days. Activity B is on the critical path, so any delay in that activity will directly impact the project end date.

Let's see if we can allocate more resources to Activity B to get it back on track.

Stephen, we need to find a way to speed up Activity B. It's on the critical path and any delay will make the project late.
