$\backslash$table$[[$A$,7,-],[$B$,5,$A$],[$C$,4,$B$],[$D$,3,$A$],[$E$,3,$D$],[$F$,6,$E$]]$

$\backslash$table$[[$G$,8,$C$,$ E$],[$H$,6,$F$,$ G$]]$

a$.$ Using the tasks and dependencies above, draw a Precedence Diagram Method $($PDM$)($i$.$e$.,$ Pert Chart$)$ network diagram for the above project. Use SmartDraw or a similar drawing tool. You can also draw by hand.

b$.$ A PDM Network Diagram is commonly used when applying the Critical Path Method to a project. Based on your diagram, what is the critical path for this project?

c$.$ How many days will it take to complete the project if everything stays on schedule?

d$.$ How many days can task $D$ be delayed $($if any$)$ without causing the overall project to go off schedule?
