Project Scheduling (incl. Network, Critical Path, WBS)

Project: opening a new Restaurant.

Anyone know how to create a critical path and wbs for this project? I did the network but I am not sure if I did it right.

A chef is opening a new restaurant in Portland. Oregon. and wants to know how many vegan meals he should prepare. 300 people will attend opening night. He knows that about 4% of people in Portland are vegan, and the approximate population of Portland is 600,000. You do NOT need to check CLT here. A. What is the probability that less than 4.5% of the people attending opening night will be vegans? B. What is the probability that more than...

By using the WBS for contruscting a house, students will create a Network Diagram and Critical Path Analysis for the project. A network diagram is essentially a flow chart that includes all of the project elements and how they relate to one another. It depicts the sequence of activities in the project and also shows parallel activities and the links between each activity (PMBOK Guide). When outlined on a network diagram, the critical path is the longest path through the...
