The WBS is one tool that is used in most projects. In this activity, you
will determine the critical path for your course project by selecting one of
three offered approaches:
critical path
critical chain
network diagram
Using that assignment and any feedback from your instructor, create a
critical path for your project. For example, you may make a critical path,
utilize an integral chain, or complete a project network, as each of these
items provides a complimenting view of the project in process. You are not
required to create a Program Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT) chart,
but please do include the steps you would take to create a PERT chart. For
example, what information would you need in addition to the data used, to
construct the critical path?
What issues are evident in your critical path? What steps can you take to
avoid failure along your critical path? What additional information would a
PERT chart provide as you make decisions about your project?
Instructions
Create your critical path or critical chain, or project network as a Word
document.
You may use the shapes in Word, construct the image in Microsoft Visio and
insert it into Word, or create the critical path in Microsoft Project and
insert it in Word. The important thing is that the submission is part of a
Word document so your instructor can open and grade the work.
Properly label all aspects of your critical path and label the paper with
your name and assignment particulars. Then, within the Word document, answer
the questions above with enough specifics and details to clearly convey your
understanding.
Your paper should be between 4 pages, depending on the size of your chart.
Your paper should be submitted in Word format. You may use Microsoft Visio
or another tool to create the chart, but it must be pasted or embedded in a
Word document for submission. Use the American Psychological Association
(APA) style (most current edition) for writing your assignment.
