Consider which tasks may be completed in parallel, and which may be completed only after completion of a previous activity. Include the resource name in the middle bottom of each activity box. Your name must appear as a resource on the project. Include length/duration estimate of each task in the bottom right of each box. List in terms of # days. Include both: o the Earliest start and Earliest finish date above the top left and top right of each activity respectively. AND.. o the Latest start and Latest finish date below the bottom left and bottom right of each activity respectively. You will need to identify a target finish date for the project to calculate this. o You may use day #s instead of actual dates, although actual dates are preferred in order to be useful.
