Node Representation
- Activity label is the name of the activity represented by that node.
- Earliest Start is the date or time at which the activity can be started at the earliest.
- Earliest Finish is the date or time at which the activity can be completed at the earliest.
- Latest Start is the date or time at which the activity can be started at the latest.
- The latest Finish is the date or time at which the activity can be finished at the latest.
- Float is equal to the difference between the earliest start and latest start or earliest finish and latest finish.
Critical Path Method for Project management
Critical Path Method (CPM) is a method used in project planning, generally for project scheduling for the on-time completion of the project. It helps in the determination of the earliest time by which the whole project can be completed. There are two main concepts in this method namely critical task and critical path.
