Thanks
 
You have given the schedule network diagram, shown in figure 1, above, to your project management team with the request to determine the early start (ES) and early finish (EF) for all of the tasks. The team has prepared a presentation showing the EF and ES dates. Before letting them present, you decide to walk through the calculations. You also review with them how to calculate the LF and LS dates. What is the LF for Task F?:
