CAPM - Predictive, Plan-Based Methodologies - Section 2.2
Develop a project schedule using activity sequencing, duration estimation, and the critical path method to identify total float and the longest path.
Sequence activities, estimate durations, and build a network diagram, then apply the critical path method to find the longest path through the project and the total float available on non-critical activities. Recognise that activities on the critical path have zero float and that schedule compression techniques - crashing and fast tracking - shorten the schedule at the cost of resources or added risk.
