Determine the earliest and latest start times for activities of a project.

Increase their knowledge of scheduling and resource allocation in projects.

Two versions of this learning object are available: an interactive Macromedia Flash version (enhanced with additional graphics and animations; requires the Macromedia Flash Player) and a non-interactive, accessible HTML version. Both versions contain the same content.
