Use the CCCOnline Library, or any other credible sources you may locate on the World Wide Web to find information on the Critical Path Method (CPM). In your research paper, provide an analysis of the purpose and benefits provided by CPM, and in particular, address the following:
Describe the path enumeration approach to determining the critical path.
Using the information below, create an AON diagram for the project tasks shown, and identify the tasks that are on the critical path. (You may attach a separate document, like Word or PowerPoint, containing your diagram. You may also snap a photo of a hand-drawn diagram and submit that instead).
What amount of float (sometimes referred to as slack) exists in the other paths besides the critical path?
Contrast the benefits offered by the CPM with the downsides associated with it.
Having read the article 'Fool Me Once, Fool Me Twice', what can a project manager do to ensure the most accurate representation of the critical path, as well as adherence to it throughout the project?
