STAGE 1: Define work packages
Concept: Activities need finish conditions before dates.
Task: Write acceptance conditions and durations for site approval, network setup, furniture and testing.
Acceptance: Document the calendar and whether durations are working days.

My assumptions:

My work / file link:

STAGE 2: Calculate the sequence
Concept: Dependencies determine feasible dates.
Task: Compute earliest starts and finishes from the supplied network; draw a dependency diagram.
Acceptance: Testing starts only when network and furniture work are finished.

My assumptions:

My checks and results:

What I changed:


STAGE 3: Explain the critical path
Concept: The longest dependency chain controls the modeled finish.
Task: Identify zero-float work and compare two recovery options using explicit assumptions.
Acceptance: Do not assume adding staff shortens a fixed external delivery lead time.

STAGE 4: Maintain the forecast
Concept: A baseline and a forecast answer different questions.
Task: Update the plan for a two-day network delay and write a schedule-impact note.
Acceptance: Retain the original baseline and distinguish actual progress from forecast changes.
