Sample Node I’ve seen various illustrations having different way to calculate CPM, few are: -           The project starts on day 1. -           The project starts on day 0. Both the approaches give same results, however I liked the day 0 approach better, its simpler, easy and lesser room for errors. Example Figure 1 - Example  There are 3 steps to calculate CPM: 1. Forward Pass - To calculate the Early Start(ES) and Early Finish(EF) of node. 2. Backward Pass - To calculate Late Start (LS) and Late Finish(LF) of node. 3. Calculate Float and Thus CPM. The Forward Pass: Forward Pass Illustration We start from first Node or Start node. The works begin on day 0....
