Hello,
I am a student undergoing training in a PMP related course. I encountered such a problem, a table of critical path diagram mentioned that the F task is premised on F, D, G. I think this is a wrong pathmap table, and in practice, this is unlikely to be the case. I would like to know your opinion. Such low-level mistakes should not occur in such a practical course, which is very unrigorous and unscientific. My teacher asked us to create a critical path map based on this table.

Xiaolin -

Agreed - there can't be loops in a network diagram, so I'd assume it is a typographical mistake in the question write up.

It may be a typo!

My best guess is it was supposed to be E, D and G are supposed to occur before F. If it truly says that F must occur before F, that is called circular logic and a program like MS project would generate an error message if you tried to create those dependencies.

This is an example of why I often ask peers to proofread my own work as a professional courtesy. It is often difficult to find your own errors.
