Task Dependencies:
As with many schedules, almost all tasks within this project require completion of
the previous to commence. The largest task dependency among this group would be the
decision to either rent a cabin or rent a camping location. Once this deliverable is
decided upon, we must either move forward with researching and reserving camping
equipment or scratching that aspect all together. 1.3: pack appropriately, will be a highly
dependent work package in which all stakeholders must determine and communicate
the scope of required resources.

Critical Path:
While all the tasks discussed are important, there are few tasks that must be
completed on time to ensure there are no changes to the overall schedule. Booking
flights is the first item along the critical path; if we can’t find reasonably priced flights
we won’t be able to go. The second critical deliverable is reserving a camping location; it
would be a large oversight to jump on a plane without ensuring a place to stay.

Packing our belongings is the third item along the path; we need to be prepared
in advance because there is no slack between this item and the next. Package 1.4 is the
most critical aspect of this project; leaving late can result in a missed flight which would
delay our schedule greatly. The last item along the critical path is making our flight at
FCA; missing this flight would delay our arrival time back to LAX.
