Precedence Diagramming



2

Work Breakdown Structure (WBS)• A deliverable oriented hierarchical decomposition of the work to be executed

by the project team to accomplish the team mission and create the required

deliverables. The WBS defines the project scope.

Scheduling Terminology

Team Mission



3

Deliverable• Any unique and verifiable product or result that must be produced to

complete a project. Usually the lowest level of the WBS.


Team Mission



4

Scheduled Activity (task)• A component of work performed to create a deliverable.

5

Duration• Total number of work periods required to complete a scheduled activity.

Usually expressed as workdays. (contrast with “effort”)

•Effort• Total number of labor units requird to complete a scheduled activity.

Usually expressed as staff hours or a rate. (contrast with “duration”)

•Schedule Milestone• A significant event in the project schedule, such as an event restrainingfuture work or marking the completion of a major deliverable. A “measuring

point”. Milestones have “0” (zero) duration and no resource assignments.

Task InterdependenciesSpecify Task Relationships

All tasks are Related To:

• Other Schedule Activities

– “Mandatory” or “Hard Logic”

– “Discretionary” or “Soft Logic”

• External Events

– Dependent Dates

– Required Dates

Arrow Diagram Method (ADM)(aka Activity on Arrow – AOA)

•Tasks represented by arrows (length not related to duration)

•Dependency shown as node

•Only F-S relationship used

•Archaic

13

Critical Path

•Sequence of scheduled activities that determines the projectduration

•Longest duration path through the project network

•Activities on the Critical Path are called “Critical Activities”

•Critical activities have no float or slack

•A project can have more than one critical path

•Activities not on the Critical Path are called “Non Critical

Activities

•To shorten the project duration, a scheduler must modify the

critical path activities or dependencies



14

•Total Float – the total amount of time through a path of

activities that may be delayed or extended without delayingthe project end date or violating a schedule constraint.

•Free Float – the amount of time within an activity (or milestone) tha can be delayed without delaying the start of the

next activity in the network.

• Negative Float – the amount of time that by which a critical

activity (or milestone) misses a required date.

Float (or Slack)



15

Critical Path Method

1. Calculate Early Start & Early Finishdates (FORWARD PASS)

2. Calculate Late Start & Late Finish dates(BACKWARD PASS)

3. Calculate TOTAL FLOAT for each

activity4. Identify activities with 0 (zero) TOTALFLOAT
