Backward Pass Method

write an overview of a PERT analysis and calculate the critical path based on a recent project you have participated in.

The review of the PERT analysis should include the following:

1. Define PERT and why it is used.
2. Differentiate between Activity on Node and Activity on Arrow.
3. Define the forward and backward pass method for calculating critical path.
4. Define burst, merge, and slack.

The PERT analysis of your project should include:

1. An initial WBS of your project that has no less than 4-5 major tasks.
2. Each major task should have several subtasks.
3. The critical path calculation.
4. The identification of any tasks that have slack.

Lastly, conclude with a summary of importance of a PERT and a critical path analysis in project management.

Your paper should meet the following requirements:

• Be at least 3 pages in length AND HAVE TITLE AND REFERENCE PAGE
• Be formatted according to ALL APA REQUIREMENTS
• Include THREE-FOUR scholarly sources.
