Do you
                  have enough people to do the work in the time scheduled? 
                  Now we come to another problem. You might have enough individuals
                  to work each task in phases, but what happens when you schedule
                  tasks in parallel? Do you still have enough resources? 
                Here
                    is an example of parallel network shown in the PDM format.
                    Task duration estimated by the team member (in days) is the
                    number above each activity. The number of people needed to
                    complete each activity is shown below each node. Functional
                    managers supplying the manpower want to support the project,
                    but they only have four people available. The sponsor has
                  said the project should be completed in eight days. We are
                  bounded
                    by fixed constraints – or are we? 
                What tasks are on
                      the critical path in this project?                   
                There are two: A-D-F, and B-E-F. Each are
                  8 days. Only the A-C path has slack: 4 days.  |
