Adding Relationships in Sample Project
• Red Color Bars= Critical Activities and Remaining

• Green Color Bars=Non Critical Activities and Remaining

• Black Bars=Summary of WBS

• Sloid Red Lines=Critical Path and Driving Relation

• Black Solid Lines=Non critical path and driving relation

• Dotted Black Lines=Non Critical Path and Non driving relation, there
is some float in this activity
