What is the value of the missing item labeled (a) in the table above? Round to the nearest integer. What is the value of the missing item labeled (b) in table above? Round to two decimals. Draw the network diagram for this project. Clearly label the earliest start, earliest finish, latest start, latest finish and slack for each activity. Specify the critical path and the critical activities. State the expected C.P. duration State the variance of the critical path. What is the probability that the dashboard will be delivered within 20 days?
Critical Path Method
The critical path is the longest succession of tasks that has to be successfully completed to conclude a project entirely. The tasks involved in the sequence are called critical activities, as any task getting delayed will result in the whole project getting delayed.
