Question 1
The Four Identified Risks
Engineering challenges, including the need to dig deep into the riverbed to create a solid foundation for the dam wall.
Flooding of large areas of land
Loss of biodiversity and displacement of local communities
The construction of the dam disrupted the natural flow of the Zambezi River, affecting downstream ecosystems and livelihoods.

Question 2.1
Activity A
ES = 0 (as it is the first activity in the project)
EF = ES of A + Duration of activity
EF = 0 + 5
EF = 5 weeks
2.1.1 A1 = 5 weeks
Activity B
ES = EF of previous activity
ES = 5 weeks
EF = ES of B + Duration of activity
EF = 5 + 7
EF = 12 weeks
Activity C
ES = EF of previous activity
ES = 12 weeks
EF = ES of C + Duration of activity
EF = 12 =+ 3
EF = 15 weeks
River
2.1.2 C1 = 15 weeks
Activity D
ES = EF of previous activity
ES = 15 weeks
EF = ES of D + Duration of activity
2.1.3 D1 = 15 weeks
Activity E
ES = EF of previous activity
ES = 20 weeks
EF = ES of E + Duration of activity
EF = 20 + 5
EF = 25 weeks
2.1.4 E1 = 20 weeks
2.1.5 E2 = 25 weeks
Activity F
ES = EF of previous activity
ES = 25 weeks
2.1.6 F1 = 25 weeks
EF = ES of F + Duration of activity
EF = 25 + 2
EF = 27 weeks
2.1.7 F2 = 27
We established that the project would take 27 weeks to complete. Therefore, the LF of this activity will be 27, as it cannot go over the project
completion date.
LS + Duration
25 + 2 = 27
2.1.8 Activity A, E, F
On the critical path, the ES and EF dates are the same as the LS and LF dates.
2.1.9
Float = LF – EF
Activity A
LF – EF =
5–5=0
Activity B
LF – EF =
17-12 = 5
Activity C
LF – EF =
20-15 = 5
Activity D
LF – EF =
20 -20 = 0
Activity E
LF – EF =
25 – 25 = 0
Activity F
LF – EF =
27 – 27 = 0
A float of 0 means that there is no room for delay. If activity A, D, E, F is delayed it will postpone the finish date of the overall project.
These four activities are known as critical activities and they show the critical path of this project. Activity B and C have a float of 5
weeks. These two activities can be delayed by 5 weeks without impacting on the end date of the project.

Question 3
Project Scope Statement
Submitted by: E.M Bopape
Current Date: 2024/04/15
Contact Email: Embopape@buildbrite.com
Contact Phone: 078 407 4575
Project Name: Build Brite Innovations
Project Code: MF-01257
Classification: Strategic
Version: 1.4.12
Status: Active - Green
Scope Inclusions
What business or technical need will be filled by this project?
The main objective of this project is to address our critical business need for expanding manufacturing capabilities to accommodate the growing
market demand. The current production facility operates at full capacity, limiting our capacity to take on new opportunities. The construction of a
new manufacturing facility will enhance production output, operational efficiency and competitive advantage. It is important that we meet the
increased demand levels of customers, the new manufacturing facility will allow us to not only meet but exceed customer expectations and
satisfaction.
What end-user requirements will be addressed?
The level of demand will be addressed by increased production through advanced equipment and assembly lines. The new manufacturing
facility will be designed to adhere to strict safety regulations and therefore employees will receive comprehensive safety training. The layout
must facilitate streamlined workflows, minimising material and personnel movement. The new project will be environmentally responsible and
will take into consideration eco-friendly construction practices and energy-efficient design elements. Employee amenities will also be
thoughtfully integrated, including comfortable spaces and accessible facilities. The benefits of energy efficient designs will result in lower energy
bills and improved sustainability.
What deliverables will be produced?
Site preparation – the chosen area will be cleared out; soil test will be conducted and a solid foundation will be established.
Construction phase – erection of a cutting-edge manufacturing facility with structural, electrical, HVAC and plumbing systems.
The layout of the interior setup will accommodate production requirements and employee spaces and in alignment with safety standards.
Environmental sustainability will be addressed through energy-efficient installations, like solar panels as well as exterior landscaping to
enhance the facility’s appearance.
Scope Exclusions
What related business or technical need will be excluded from this project?
The technical need that will be excluded from this project is the implementation of a supply chain management system for material tracking.
With the exclusion of this supply chain management system, it will be hard to track the material coming in and out of the facility. It will be difficult
to track how much material needs to be ordered and how much material we have on hand.
What end-user requirements will be excluded from this project?
The construction of a cafeteria facility or advanced technology integration beyond the capacity for production equipment. It is unfortunate that a
cafeteria facility will be excluded, which means that employees will have to leave the facility every time they feel hungry, this means they might
take longer lunch breaks than if there was a cafeteria on the premises.
What deliverables will be excluded from this project?
Extensive on the job employee training and the development of transportation infrastructure for material distribution. There are many negative
consequences for a lack of staff training in the workplace, such as poor job performance because of unhappy staff. Employees experience high
levels of anxiety when they do not know what is expected of them.
