Your PMBOK® Guide refers to this as a backwards pass when building out your network diagram.
Visit the Library and read the article below in preparation for
your Discussion Board posting. Project teams repeatedly underestimate
the time needed to complete project tasks. In this paper a strategy –
known as backward planning – is examined that purports to counteract
optimistic scheduling bias. Backward planning involves starting a plan
at the end goal and then working through required steps in
reverse-chronological order, and is commonly advocated by practitioners
as a tool for developing realistic plans and projections. Your PMBOK®
Guide refers to this as a backwards pass when building out your network
diagram.

Based on your reading of this paper regarding the backwards pass, can
this time scheduling technique be used to eliminate task overruns?
Please share your observations.
As a result of reading the paper and drawing from your assigned readings
take a position (state your premise) that addresses these scheduling
methodologies and support your position showing the situation
(knowledge), an understanding of the situation (comprehension), and how
it applies professionally (application). Then, analyze your
premise/position with a cited reference or example showing that you have
considered all aspects relating to the implementation of your premise
as advantages/disadvantages (analysis).
