The estimated time is in days. The network proceeds are from Node 1 to Node 8. Draw an AOA network diagram representing the project. Put the node numbers in circles and draw arrows from node to node, labeling each arrow with the activity letter and estimated time. Supply the following information:
1. Identify all the paths on the network diagram and note the estimated time for each.
2. Identify the critical path for this project. How long is the path?
3. What is the shortest time it will take to complete this project?
4. Identify which, if any, nodes have bursts or are merges.
5. Identify any tasks that appear to be in parallel. What factors should a project manager consider when working with parallel tasks?
