A Metric is defined as the description of the attributes of the product or project. It
is also used to measure defined attributes. A metric is an actual value and sets a
tolerance value which allows for a definition of tolerable variations on that metric.
This is used to measure the cost of the deliverable and determine percentage
variance from budget. This will assist project managers to make the right
decisions when managing a project. (Kerzner, H. 2017)

5.2 What are the steps involved in calculating the critical path? (6)
7
(Smartsheet, 2018) discusses a 6 steps approach to calculating the critical path.
Below are the steps which were identified.
5.3 Indicate all the paths and identify the critical path of this project (3)
Path 1: A C F: 6 + 3 + 8 = 17 weeks
Path 2: B D F: 4 + 8 + 8 = 20 weeks
Path 3: B E : 4 + 14 = 18 weeks
Path 2 with activities B D F = the critical path as this would take the longest
time to complete. The longest time is 20 weeks.
5.4 If you were to draw the AOA diagram for the same project, what will the
critical path be? (1)
B D F will take 20 weeks. The critical path will remain unchanged regardless of
the change in the network diagram.
