What does schedule network analysis involve?

  1. Evaluating the project budget

  2. Determining overall duration using forward and backward pass calculations

  3. Assessing project risks

  4. Analyzing stakeholder expectations

The correct answer is: Determining overall duration using forward and backward pass calculations

Schedule network analysis involves determining the overall duration of a project by using forward and backward pass calculations. This technique helps project managers identify the critical path, which is the longest sequence of activities that determines the shortest possible duration for the project. Option A is incorrect because evaluating the project budget is related to cost management, not schedule network analysis. Option C is incorrect because assessing project risks is part of the risk management process, not schedule network analysis. Option D is incorrect because analyzing stakeholder expectations is more related to stakeholder management, not schedule network analysis.
