Determining the critical path – step 2: The backward pass
The next step is to calculate the latest date you can reach each node and still finish on time.

Then we subtract the duration of activities to determine the latest date we can reach each preceding node and still finish the project by the same date. Mark the number of days on the bottom of the node.
