1) Requirements Capture
Assume you are a Project Manager and you are due to meet with a new customer organisation, to discuss a possible project for which no information is available yet. Suggest your 7 highest priority questions to ask the new customer organisation about the proposed project.
2) Activity-on-Arrow and Activity-on-Node Networks
Assuming that Activity A is the first work activity in a project and Activity Z is the final activity in the same project, sketch both Activity-on-Arrow and Activity-on-Node networks for the following activity dependencies. (Note: since activity durations are not supplied, the usual duration, start, end and float values should be blank, but standard diagram formats should be used. Also, for Activity-on-Arrow event numbering, adopt the standard that event numbers should increase, from the start to the finish of each arrow, though not necessarily sequentially).

3) Project Planning
You have been appointed project manager and are tasked with planning the design, machine programming, manufacture, assembly, test and demonstration of two prototype products derived from three components. You will be looking to complete the project in a timely, low cost fashion. The activities and their estimated durations have been identified below. Note: they are not necessarily in the order that they would be completed.
