Question

Work with your group to practice the critical path method of scheduling

Draw the network diagram using the SmartArt tool in any Microsoft Office application

Follow the convention for drawing each node, allowing space for ES, EF, LS, LF and float

Identify all the paths in the schedule

Use the enumeration method to identify the critical path

Make a forward pass to find the early schedule dates

Make a backward pass to find the late schedule dates

Define the float for all activities

Activity	Predecessor	Duration
A	none	5
B	A	8
C	B	2
D	A	17
E	B	6
F	C, D, E	10
G	F	4

Answer 1

The critical path is thus A-D-F-G since the floats of each of these activities are zero. Total time of project completion = EF of 'G' = LF of 'G' = 36
