The next steps are to create/identify:

- Precedence Table

- Network Diagram

- Critical Path

Ensure your team identifies the precedent tasks, concurrent tasks, duration and WBS Id for the Precedence Table, for all non-summary tasks. After the Precedence Table your team creates a Network Diagram to illustrate the interdependencies and to prepare the project schedule. You use a Network Diagram to then identify the Critical Path for this project, using both Forward and Backward Pass methods. Also, you identify any activities that have Slack. Use Microsoft Excel to create the Network Diagram.
