On a piece of scratch paper, draw the network associated with this table and determine the
following. Suppose activity D were to slip by two days, taking its duration from six to eight days.
What would be the effect on overall project duration?
1. Cannot be determined
2. Project duration would increase by two days.
3. Project duration would remain the same.
4. Project duration would decrease by two days.
5. Project duration would increase by four days.
