What is Forward Pass?

In project management, the Forward Pass is equivalent to drawing the earliest possible timeline for your project, akin to designing the shortest path from point A to point B. It entails looking over all of the tasks in your project, determining when each may begin and how long they will take, and then estimating the earliest potential completion date. Consider it as embarking on a journey and calculating the earliest time you could arrive at your destination if everything goes as planned, without regard for any delays or limits. The forward pass assists project managers in determining the earliest possible completion date for the project.
