When you are planning, scheduling, or managing any type of project, no matter how large or small in scope, using the Critical Path Model is necessary. CPM is used globally with all types of projects, from the energy industry and military weapons building to the aircraft and construction industries. CPM allows groups and individuals to be in multiple locations around the world and to see the progress of the projects in real time. In this assignment you will solve for variables from a developed CPM or project network. You will then build a Critical Path and populate it. Submit your solutions in a word document. In your text, Chapter 9, Project Scheduling: PERT/CPM on page 445, complete problem 6 which shows a project network with activity times. Answer the following: Identify the critical path.
