Identify the critical path of the project using the forward and backward pass methods.
Highlight the critical path on the network diagram.
Write an executive summary report discussing the critical path, its importance in project management, and how it can affect project scheduling.
Deliverables:
Executive Summary
A table that lists all WBS Activities and their durations, ES, EF, LS, LF of your project (See the WBS dictionary template in Module 8)
Network Diagram that shows the critical path of your project
Tips:
The activities list in this milestone may be expanded from the WBS created in Milestone 4.
