According to the Project Management Institute (PMI), project management is the application of knowledge, skills, tools and techniques to project activities in order to meet project requirements and objectives. [1] The challenging task of managing projects can be supported by an operation reserach technique called the Critical Path Method (CPM). The CPM is a mathematically-network based algorithm for scheduling a set of project activities and is used for planning, scheduling and monitoring project progress.
