Developing the Project Plan

Developing the Project Plan

1. Terminology

   • Event
     • a point in time when an activity is started or completed. It doesnot consume time
   • Burst activity
     • an activity that has more than one activity immediatly following it ( more than one dependency arrow flowing from it.
   • Milestone

2. Two approaches

   • Activity node (AON)
   • Activity on Arrow (AOA)

3. Basic Rules to follow in Developing Project Network

   • Networks typically flow from left to right. An activity cannot begin until all preceding connected activities are complete. Arrows indicate precedence and flow and can cross over each other. Each activity must have a unique identify number that is greater than any of its predecessor activities. Looping is not allowed. Conditional statements are not allowed. Use common start and stop nodes.
