Latest finish time (LF)
latest time an activity can be completed without delaying critical
path time
LF = minimum LS of immediate predecessors
Backward pass
Determines latest activity times by starting at the end of CPM/PERT
network and working forward

What is probability that project is completed within 30
weeks?
2 = 6.89 weeks
2.62
From Table A.1, (appendix A) a Z score of 1.91 corresponds to a
probability of 0.4719. Thus P(30) = 0.4719 + 0.5000 = 0.9719
= 25
9-43
What is probability that project is completed within 22
weeks?
2 = 6.89 weeks
2.62
From Table A.1, (appendix A) a Z score of 1.14 corresponds to a
probability of 0.3729. Thus P(22) = 0.5000 - 0.3729 = 0.1271
= 25
