title: A generalized PERT/CPM implementation in a spreadsheet
abstract: This paper describes the implementation of the traditional PERT/CPM algorithm for finding the critical path in a project network in a spreadsheet. The problem is of importance due to the recent shift of attention to using the spreadsheet environment as a vehicle for delivering management science/operations research (MS/OR) techniques to end-users
