Table 3a Activity Durations and relationship
- Conduct a forward and backwards pass for the activity network diagram that you
have constructed and identify the critical path and its duration.
- Calculate the slack on all of the activities, and proceed to analyze how knowing the slacks can help to manage
schedule risk the a project
3b. Assuming that there is the risk of exceeding the project schedule baseline for 7 weeks, critically evaluates the options available that could be used to bring the project on track
