Study Notes
Project Network Diagram
- A network diagram visually represents project tasks and their dependencies.
- Events are represented by circles, and activities (tasks) are represented by arrows connecting events.
- Activity durations are shown next to the arrows. The format is (optimistic, most likely, pessimistic).
- Example activity durations are shown as (0.2, 0.3, 0.4) indicating a possible range for completion time.
- The diagram shows the sequence of events and activities.
- The numbers represent event and activity IDs.
- Critical path is the longest path through the network's events
- Events represent a specific point in the project.
- Activities are tasks that must be completed to move from one event to another.
- Optimistic, most likely, and pessimistic time estimates help in project planning.
