This document discusses project management tools used to plan and schedule a project. It asks the reader to review a case study and then respond to questions about a Gantt chart, network diagram, critical path, and dependencies between project activities. A Gantt chart shows the timing and duration of tasks, a network diagram maps the order and relationships of tasks, the critical path is the longest sequence of dependent tasks, and dependencies define the logical order and relationships between project activities used to build a schedule.
