The document discusses project scheduling and control techniques like the Critical Path Method (CPM) and Program Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT). It provides details on how to calculate the critical path, critical activities, float, and project duration using CPM. It also explains how to perform forward pass and backward pass calculations. The document includes a sample CPM network diagram and calculations. It discusses how crashing the critical path can reduce a project's duration but at an increased cost. Computer software tools for project management are also listed.
