you created a Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) for your course project. The WBS is one tool that is used in most projects. In this activity, you will determine the critical path for your course project by selecting one of three offered approaches:

• critical path
• critical chain
• network diagram

Using that assignment and any feedback from your instructor, create a critical path for your project. For example, you may make a critical path, utilize an integral chain, or complete a project network, as each of these items provides a complimenting view of the project in process. You are not required to create a Program Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT) chart, but please do include the steps you would take to create a PERT chart.

1. For example, what information would you need in addition to the data used, to construct the critical path?

2. What issues are evident in your critical path? 

3. What steps can you take to avoid failure along your critical path? 

4. What additional information would a PERT chart provide as you make decisions about your project?

Instructions

Create your critical path or critical chain, or project network as a Word document. 

• You may use the shapes in Word, construct the image in Microsoft Visio and insert it into Word, or create the critical path in Microsoft Project and insert it in Word. The important thing is that the submission is part of a Word document so your instructor can open and grade the work.
• Properly label all aspects of your critical path and label the paper with your name and assignment particulars. Then, within the Word document, answer the questions above with enough specifics and details to clearly convey your understanding.
