    Burgess Method:
    1. Critical activities (B,C,D and H) have no floats.
    2. Activity G: total float =3
    a. Delay one day results in squared sum of resources =122
    b. Delay two days results in squared sum of squares = 118
    c. Delay three days results in squared sum of squares = 114*
    Hence we delay activity G by three days.
    3. Activity F: since resource requirement is zero, no need to delay.
    4. Activity E:total float =3
    a. Delay one day results in squared sum of resources =108
    b. Delay two days results in squared sum of squares = 108
    c. Delay three days results in squared sum of squares = 108*
    We chose to delay activity E by 3 days to give project management more flexibility.

    5. Activity A: total float = 2


    a. Delay one day results in squared sum of resources =114
    b. Delay two days results in squared sum of squares = 120
    Hence, no need to delay activity A.
