Since an activity's immediate successors cannot start until the activity finishes ,
this rule is saying that the activity must finish in time to enable all its immediate
successors to begin by their latest start times . For example , consider activity M in

(No such variable is needed for activity A, since an activity that begins the project
is automatically assigned a value of 0.) By treating the FINISH node as another
activity (albeit one with zero duration), as we now will do, this definition of y, ...
