Create a short scenario with 4 – 6 tasks, some of which depend on each other. You can use the two preceding cases as a model. Develop a sample answer that you will show the class after you give them a chance to analyze the tasks.
What will be an ideal response?
Any of the samples in this chapter would serve as a suitable model. The main idea is to present a logic structure that involves concurrent and dependent tasks, some with multiple predecessors and/or successors. One favorite that the author has used to introduce students to basic concepts, is the preparation of a BLT (bacon, lettuce, and tomato sandwich). The process involves several tasks that can begin at the same time, such as toasting the bread and frying the bacon, and other tasks that are dependent, such as applying mayo, assembling the sandwich, and eating it. Of course, the three main ingredients (four if you count the toasted bread) must be ready, and they don’t all get ready at the same time, so there is a critical path, which can easily be calculated.
