You are a project manager in an organization that uses Project Professional 2013. You are managing
a project, which involves the construction of a new shopping mall. The shopping mall is scheduled to
finish by October 21. The mall needs to start operations by October 31. Your sponsor asks you to
closely monitor your schedule and informs you that missing the October 21 deadline could
jeopardize the October 31 start date. You are concerned about construction delays, and you want to
reduce the time buffer. Your sponsor agrees with this decision. You need to show the time between
the End of Construction and the Grand Opening Day as a time buffer for delays. Which two actions
should you perform? (Each correct answer presents part of the solution. Choose two.)
A.
Create a deadline for the Grand Opening Day task on October 31.
B.
Create milestones tasks for End of Construction and Grand Opening Day, with a Finish to Start link
and 10 elapsed days of lag time.
C.
Create milestones tasks for End of Construction and Grand Opening Day, with a Start to Finish link
and 10 elapsed days of lead time.
D.
Enter a finish date of October 21 on the End of Construction task.
