Individual Project: Schedule, Defining Predecessors, Duration, and Critical Path

The project is sustainable urban farming

As you continue to work with schedules, remember there are five major elements affecting project completion: logical order (or sequence) of project tasks, duration of each task, the number of resources available when needed to complete those tasks, imposed dates, and cash flow. When building schedules in MS Project, you will find it helpful to keep these limitations in order.

For this assignment, follow the below steps to complete the Microsoft Project Exercise for your individual chosen project:
