B. Activity, Longest, Dependent, Duration …
CPM (critical path method) models the activities and events of a project as a network….
Activities are identified as nodes and events that signify the start and end of activities are denoted as edges between nodes.
CPM provides a graphical view of the project…
It predicts the time required to complete the project.
a. Main aim of CPM is to determine the minimum completion time for a project
b. In CPM, critical path is the longest sequence of dependent tasks and it defines project duration.
c. During forward pass, it is assumed that each activity will begin at its earlies starting time.
d. During backward pass, it is assumed that each activity begins at its latest completion time..
Steps of CPM project planning:
1) Specification of individual activities and determining the sequence of those activities.
2) Then draw network diagram as directed graph.
3) Estimation of completion time for each activity.
4) Then identify the critical path or longest path through the network
5) Finally update the CPM as the project progresses…
Right Answer is: B ...
