Prepare a table that identifies all paths and their lengths. Which path is the critical path?
During the execution phase of the skit project, one of the activities on the critical path is delayed by one

critical path, qualitatively discuss the estimate uncertainty of the critical path.

Content (90 points): Each element of this assignment has a correct answer. Your content will be assessed
on whether or not you produced a correct diagram, estimate, result, etc. or the degree to how you
demonstrate knowledge of scheduling practices in case your diagram, estimate or result are incorrect.
