2. Project Time Management
a. Enter realistic durations for each task and then link appropriate tasks. Be sure that all tasks are linked in some fasion to the start and end of the project. Use the Project Tracking Database as an example. Assume that you have six months to complete the entire project.
b. Print the Gantt Chart view and Network Diagramview for the project.
c. Print the Schedule table to see key dates and slack times for each task.

Step 1: Identify the tasks involved in setting up the training program. Based on the information provided, some key tasks can be:
- Determine training materials vendor
- Set up training classrooms
- Survey employees on desired courses
- Find qualified volunteer instructors
- Develop course schedule
- Conduct employee registration
- Start offering courses
Step 2: Estimate realistic durations for each task. Since you have six months to complete the project, allocate appropriate durations for each task based on the complexity and effort required.
For example:
- Determine training materials vendor: 2 weeks
- Set up training classrooms: 3 weeks
- Survey employees on desired courses: 1 week
- Find qualified volunteer instructors: 2 weeks
- Develop course schedule: 2 weeks
- Conduct employee registration: 2 weeks
- Start offering courses: 1 week
Step 3: Link the tasks appropriately. In project management, tasks are linked to show dependencies and relationships. You can use a software tool like Microsoft Project to create a Gantt chart and network diagram that will automatically link the tasks based on their dependencies.
Step 4: Print the Gantt Chart view and Network Diagram view. Once you have created the schedule in a project management tool, you can generate these views to visualize the timeline and relationships between tasks. The Gantt Chart view shows the timeline and durations of each task, while the Network Diagram view displays the tasks and their connections.
Step 5: Print the Schedule table. This table provides key dates and slack times for each task. It helps to identify critical tasks that must be completed within specific timeframes and tasks that have flexibility in their scheduling.
Remember that these steps can be executed using project management software like Microsoft Project, which will allow you to input task durations, link tasks, and generate the desired views and tables.
By following these steps, you will be able to create a comprehensive schedule for the training program, visualize it through Gantt chart and network diagram views, and obtain key dates and slack times through the schedule table.
