Question
Develop a CPM diagram for the activities/relationships listed below (assume
durations are in months). For each activity calculate the Early Start, Late Start, Early
Finish, Late Finish, Total Float, and Free Float. Clearly identify the critical path for
the project (hint: a highlighter would be a good tool to use)
How do you solve this? I don't understand how it's done.
