Look inside

Enter the realm of project management: your job is to oversee the construction of a castle, ensuring that the project is completed on time. Many of the tasks in the schedule are dependent on other tasks, and some will inevitably fail to be done by their due dates, risking the delay of the entire project—and the wrath of the Evil Overlord. To prevent this catastrophe, you’ll perform topological sorting to determine which tasks can be scheduled, use the critical path method to find out which tasks will be delayed by the delay of another task, and build PERT and Gantt charts to see critical paths and task dependencies in a visual way.

This project is designed for learning purposes and is not a complete, production-ready application or solution.
