Bill is building a project network that involves testing a prototype. He must design the prototype (activity 1), build the prototype (activity 2), and test the prototype (activity 3). Activity one is the predecessor for activity 2 and activity 2 is the predecessor for activity 3. If the prototype fails testing, Bill must redesign the prototype; therefore, activity 3 is a predecessor for activity 1. This is an example of |
| | A) | Conditional statements |
| | B) | Looping |
| | C) | Having more than one start node |
| | D) | Good network development |
| | E) | Natural network flow |
|
