Task List: Task Earliest Start Length Type Dependent On..

The document outlines a task list for a project including 12 tasks labeled A through N. It lists the earliest start date, duration, and dependencies for each task. It also provides information on calculating time estimates and identifies the critical path as the shortest route to complete all tasks, which is tasks A through B through C through D through G through H.

Use the formula below to calculate the time to use for each project stage:
shortest time + 4 x likely time + longest time

Type

This helps to bias time estimates away from the unrealistically short time-scales normally
assumed.
All Possible Paths
There are 3 in our case
A -> B -> F -> G -> H
A -> B -> C -> D -> G -> H
A -> B -> C -> E -> G -> H
Critical Path
Critical path is the shortest duration required to complete the project successfully.
In our example this is the second path: A -> B -> C -> D -> G -> H
