Task Dependencies
One task dependency my project will have is the decorations. You must first pick a theme and purchase the decorations. You cannot decorate
the venue without having purchased the decorations. Another is the DJ. You cannot have the DJ play music at the party if you haven’t booked
him in advance. Same for the food, you cannot have the caterer provide the food at the party if you haven’t booked him and discussed the
menu. This is the same for the cake and venue. There is a lot pre-planning for a party that has to be done before the day of the event and they
are all critical.

Critical Path
For my project, I would place booking the venue and caterer on my critical path. When you think of a party you absolutely cannot
have a party if you don’t have a place to have it or food to serve. These two things are a must and must be booked in advance.
Without either of these two things, your party will not happen. I would also place the invitations on the critical path. This is another
thing that needs to be sent in time. Again, what is a party if you don’t have any guests? People are busy and need to have plenty of
notice of when the party is to mark it on their calendars. If you do not purchase, address, and send the invitations on time, you will
not have as many guests attend and the party will be less of a success. All the other items are nice to have, but the party will still
continue without them.
