Question 1: Define what a PERT diagram is relative to project planning.
Question 2: Explain the importance of a PERT diagram in a project plan.
Question 3: Review the PERT diagram below, and discuss how you would find the critical path.
Case: Marie, Darren, and Noah are standing at an intersection in Atlanta's northwest corner. They decide to eat dinner at a restaurant in the southeast corner of the city, but each chooses to take a different path to travel across town, as follows:
- Marie takes a bus that zigzags across surface streets: She makes it to the restaurant in 24 minutes.
- Darren decides to take the subway that travels directly to the restaurant: He makes it to the restaurant in 14 minutes.
- Noah travels with a bicycle along a path and makes it to the restaurant in 19 minutes.
The three cannot eat dinner until the last person has reached the restaurant.
Based on the scenario above and using the CPM, determine which person (Marie, Darren, or Noah) is on the critical path.
Explain why you selected the person while supporting your selection using detailed information from the scenario.
