Production and Operations Management
The backward pass is a technique used in project management, particularly in PERT (Program Evaluation and Review Technique), to determine the latest possible start and finish times for each activity in a project without delaying the overall project completion. By calculating these times in reverse order from the project's end date, it helps identify critical paths and areas where delays can occur, allowing for better resource allocation and scheduling.
congrats on reading the definition of backward pass. now let's actually learn it.
