Using the Critical Path Method (CPM), find the critical part, activities, and the date to finish the project (Gantt Chart would help).
I would really appreciate excel screenshots!
Create network diagram as follows:
List the alternative paths in the network and their respective length.
Length of each path is equal to the sum of times of activities on that path.
Path | Length |
A-B-D-F | 22 |
A-C-E-F | 19 |
The longest and hence critical path is: A-B-D-F
Date to finish the project = 22 weeks
Gantt chart is following:
