1.What is the projected completion date?

. Overall Project

* Duration: 127 days

* Completion date of Nov.18th , 2003

Project Estimate

* Duration: 558 days

* Completion estimated date of July13th, 2005

* Project will be 431 days late.

* Project can not be delivered by scheduled date.

* Changes are required to scope, time, and cost.

Some other tasks run parallel to the critical path and have same duration; a delay in one of these tasks will change the critical path and delay the whole project.

Scope does not change senior management requirements are still to be delivered.
