1. Project 1.1. Task A (realistic estimate is 10, optimistic is 5, pessimistic is 15)
1.2. Task B (realistic estimate is 5, optimistic is 2, pessimistic is 8)
1.3. Task C (realistic estimate is 20, optimistic is 16, pessimistic is 24)
1.4. Task D (realistic estimate is 10, optimistic is 4, pessimistic is 16)
• Task A must precede Task B
