2. Constraint: An imposed date on the Progress Schedule or an imposed tie between Ac-tivities. The Contract Times are Constraints.

3. CPM Progress Schedule: Computerized Progress Schedule in Critical Path Method

(CPM) format which accounts for the entire Work, defines the interrelationships be-tween elements of the Work, reflects the uncompleted Work, and indicates the sequence with which the Work has been completed, indicates the sequence in which uncompleted

Work will be completed, and indicates the duration of each Activity.
