of it. Activity D ties into activity E (not shown) and the path continues to the end of the project Activity path
A-B-C-D ls the only path for which you are responsible hat is currently negative. You are the lead scheduler
and you must come up with recommendations as to how this negative condition can be solved.
Answer the following questions:
1. What does the negative total float for this path indicate?
2. What options do you have to return this path to zero float? Explain how your recommendations will

Duration

8 4 5 2
Activity X Activity A Activity B Activity C Activity D E
-4 -4 -4 -4

Total Float All duration are in work days
