Apply the Critical Path Method (CPM) to a course enrollment process for a
semester at an educational institution. The goal of using CPM here would be to
identify the tasks that are critical to the timely completion of the course enrollment
process and ensure they are managed to avoid delays in the start of the semester.
Let’s break it down into tasks typically involved in the course enrollment process
and then apply the CPM steps.
