Task Dependencies
1. The approval of a menu for the caterer is dependent on the task of sending guest
invitations

guest invitations
3. The confirmation of a venue is dependent on the task of sending guest
invitations
Critical Path
One of the tasks that needs to be on the critical path is securing a venue. This needs to
be on the critical path because we cannot hire any vendors without a location to send
them to.
