Study Notes
Network Diagram Guidelines
- Network diagrams typically flow from left to right or top to bottom.
- Activities are represented by boxes (nodes), while arrows represent relationships between activities.
- Arrows indicate precedence and flow.
- The left side of a node represents the start of an activity, while the right side represents the finish.
- Activities cannot be split, meaning they represent continuous processes.
- An activity cannot begin until all preceding activities are complete.
- Activities should be uniquely identified in ascending order from left to right or top to bottom.
- Looping and conditional statements are not allowed in network diagrams.
- Ideally, networks should begin with a common start node and end with a common end node.
- Dummy activities can be used to create common nodes for projects with multiple start or finish activities.
- Dummy activities are represented by boxes labeled "Start" or "Finish" and do not represent actual work.

- Activities are represented by boxes (nodes), and relationships between activities are represented by arrows. Arrows indicate precedence and flow.
- The left side of a node represents the start of an activity and the right side represents the finish.
- Activities cannot be split and must be carried out continuously without interruption.
- An activity cannot begin until all preceding activities have been completed.
- Activities should be uniquely identified in ascending order from left to right or top to bottom.
- Looping and conditional statements are not allowed.
- A network should ideally begin with a common start node and finish with a common end node.
- Dummy activities can be used to create common nodes for projects with multiple start or finish activities.
Network Flow & Structure
- Networks typically flow from left to right or top to bottom.
- Activities are represented by boxes (nodes), while relationships between activities are represented by arrows.
- Arrows indicate precedence and flow.
- The left side of an activity node represents the start of the activity, while the right side represents the finish.
- Activities cannot be split and must be carried out continuously without interruption.
- An activity can only begin once all preceding activities have been completed.
- Each activity should have a unique identification number, assigned in ascending order from left to right or top to bottom.
- Looping and conditional statements are not allowed in network diagrams.
- Networks ideally begin with a common start node and end with a common end node.
- Dummy activities are used to create common nodes when a project has multiple start or finish activities. These dummy activities represent 'Start' and 'Finish' and do not represent actual work.
Network Flow Direction
- Networks flow from left to right or top to bottom.
Activity Representation
- Activities are represented by boxes (nodes).
- Arrows indicate relationships between activities.
- Arrows show precedence and flow.
Activity Node Representation
- The left side of a node represents the activity's start.
- The right side of a node represents the activity's finish.
Activity Splitting
- Activity splitting is not allowed.
- Activities must be continuous and uninterrupted.
Activity Precedence
- An activity cannot start until all preceding activities are finished.
Activity Identification
- Each activity is uniquely identified in ascending order.
- Identification proceeds from left to right or top to bottom.
Network Looping and Conditional Statements
- Looping and conditional statements are not permitted.
- Looping involves network flow to an earlier activity, repeating work.
- Conditional statements involve alternative paths based on earlier activity outcomes.
Network Start and Finish Nodes
- Networks should ideally start with a common start node and end with a common end node.
- For multiple start or finish activities, dummy activities can be used to create common nodes.
- Dummy activities do not represent actual activities (e.g., 'Start', 'Finish').
Network Flow Direction
- Networks typically flow from left to right, or top to bottom.
Activity Representation
- Activities are represented by boxes, also known as nodes.
- Relationships between activities are represented by arrows.
- Arrows indicate precedence and flow.
Activity Node Representation
- The left-hand side of an activity node represents the start of the activity.
- The right-hand side of an activity node represents the finish of the activity.
Activity Splitting
- Splitting activities is not allowed.
- An activity represents an individual process that must continue without interruption.
Activity Precedence
- An activity cannot begin until all its preceding activities have been completed.
Activity Identification
- Each activity should be uniquely identified in ascending order from left to right or top to bottom, depending on the network's direction.
Looping and Conditional Statements
- Looping and conditional statements are not allowed in networks.
- Looping involves the network flowing back to an earlier activity to repeat a task.
- Conditional statements involve alternative paths based on the outcome of an earlier activity.
Common Start and End Nodes
- Networks should ideally begin with a common start node and finish with a common end node.
- Dummy activities, like "Start" and "Finish" boxes, can be used to create common nodes for projects with multiple start or finish activities.
- Dummy activities represent non-actual activities.
