Software Project Management Assignment

This document outlines the requirements for Assignment 2 which is due on November 5th. It involves constructing network diagrams and determining critical paths for 3 different project scenarios involving multiple tasks/activities with prerequisites and durations. Students must show the critical path, determine slacks, and calculate floats between activities. The highest point value questions involve drawing the network diagrams and identifying the critical paths for each scenario.
