Where We Are Now6– 牛牛文库文档分享Developing the Project PlanThe Project NetworkA flow chart that graphically depicts the sequence, interdependencies, and start and finish times of the project job plan of activities that is the critical path through the network.Provides the basis for scheduling labor and equipment.Enhances communication among project participants.Provides an estimate of the project’s duration.Provides a basis for budgeting cash flow.Identifies activities that are critical.Highlights activities that are “critical” and can not be delayed.Help managers get and stay on plan.6– 牛牛文库文档分享WBS/Work Packages to NetworkFIGURE 6.16– 牛牛文库文档分享WBS/Work Package to Network (cont’d)FIGURE 6.1 (cont’d)6– 牛牛文库文档分享Constructing a Project NetworkTerminologyActivity: an element of the project that requires time.Merge Activity: an activity that has two or more preceding activities on which it depends.Parallel (Concurrent) Activities: Activities that can occur independently and, if desired, not at the same time.ABDC6– 牛牛文库文档分享Constructing a Project Network (cont’d)TerminologyPath: a sequence of connected, dependent activities.Critical path: the longest path through the activity network that allows for the completion of all project-related activities; the shortest expected time in which the entire project can be completed. Delays on the critical path will delay completion of the entire project.CABD(Assumes that minimum of A + B minimum of C in length of times to complete activities.)6– 牛牛文库文档分享Constructing a Project Network (cont’d)TerminologyEvent: a point in time when an activity is started or completed. It does not consume time.Burst Activity: an activity that has more than one activity immediately following it (more than one dependency arrow flowing from it).Two ApproachesActivity-on-Node (AON)Uses a node to depict an activity.Activity-on-Arrow (AOA)Uses an arrow to depict an activity.BCAD6– 牛牛文库文档分享Basic Rules to Follow in Developing Project NetworksNetworks typically flow fro
