Google is developing a new app called Backup & Sync (BS) that allows users to backup and sync their files from all their devices. This system provides files to be available to the users across all their devices. You drew out the business process a few months ago, now the project lead has written tasks that would need to be completed in order to build the platform. Your task is to create the project map (i.e., precedence diagram model)
