What is typical for critical path project management?

Forward and backward pass analysis
Level-of-effort activities
Management of security protocols
Management of resource over-allocations

The correct answer is: Forward and backward pass analysis

Critical path project management typically involves both forward and backward pass analysis to determine the overall project timeline. This method allows for efficient and effective scheduling as it takes into consideration both the earliest and latest possible start and finish times for each activity. Option B, level-of-effort activities, is incorrect because this term refers to tasks that require a constant amount of effort over a period of time, and is not directly related to project scheduling. Option C, management of security protocols, is incorrect because while important, this is not a defining characteristic of critical path project management. Option D, management of resource over-allocations, is incorrect because while this may be a part of project management, it is not specific to critical path methodology.
