dashed arrow (dummy) on Critical Path Method.
◍ Critical Path Method. Answer: A scheduling tool more common to
construction projects. Sequence of tasks depicted graphically, with
tasks duration and earliest and latest start and finish times. Solid
arrows represent tasks; a task cannot begin until all tasks leading into
a circle are completed. Dependencies represented with dashed lines

◍ Critical Path. Answer: The sequence of tasks that must be started
and finished on time to meet the project's deadline.
◍ Float. Answer: Maximum length of time that a noncritical task can
be delayed or extended before it causes a delay in the overall project.
◍ Work Plan (or Fee Projection). Answer: Detailed project schedule
