After downloading Microsoft Project and before using it, refer to the continuation of Case Study 1, A Not-for-Profit Medical Research Center, which is in Chapter 5 of the text.

Open Microsoft Project and input the activities you created in your brainstorming PowerPoint  into the MS Project Gantt View.

1. Apply a duration for each activity as requested in Case Question 1.
2. Based on the logical order you determined in your schedule brainstorming, input the activities into Microsoft Project and indicate the predecessor activities consistent with the logical order of activities. Attempt to fit the schedule into 180 days as requested by Case Question 2. Make note of your revisions for your final summary.
3. Determine the critical path, and identify the activities that make up the critical path.
