   • When will the project be completed?
   • What is the critical path for the project?
   • How much slack / float is in your project? What activities have the greatest slack / float?
   • Identify the top three (3) activities that you believe could impact the project completion date.
   • What additional activities you would add to this project to make it more complete, from a project management viewpoint?
2. Format your assignment according to the following formatting requirements:
   • Typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides.
