1.      Review

2.      Forward Pass

a.      Items

i.           Early Start ES

ii.           Early Finish EF

iii.           Expected Time TE

b.      Procedures

i.           Add Activity ES+DUR=EF

ii.           Carry the EF to the next activity where it becomes ES

iii.           If the succeeding activity is a merge select the largest EF

3.      Backward Pass

a.      Items

i.           Late Start LS

ii.           Late Finish LF

iii.           Critical Path CP

iv.           Slack SL

b.      Procedures

i.           Subtract Activity LF-DUR=LS

ii.           Carry the LS to the next activity where it becomes the LF

iii.           If the preceding is a burst select the smallest LS

4.      Total Slack/Float

a.      The amount of time an activity can be delayed and not delay a project

b.      Amount that it can exceed EF without pushing out ending

c.      Formula

i.           LS-ES=SL

ii.           LF-EF=SL

d.      Critical Path

i.           Sensitivity

1.      Number of Critical Paths

2.      Non Critical Activities with low slack

5.      Free Slack

a.      Like slack but deals with successor activities

b.      Formula

i.           Minimum ES(From Successors) - ES of Activity -Duration

6.      Summary of this process and why we do it

7.      Level of Detail

a.      Conditional Statements
