CPM Scheduling and Float
Time Management →Forward pass, backward pass, and the two floats — worked with the day-one convention the exam uses.
What you should be able to do
- Complete a forward and backward pass on a small network
- Compute total and free float and say which one a delay consumes
- Identify the critical path and explain why its float is zero
