This course explains how to perform forward and backward computations to determine the critical path in a project network diagram and shows how an activity-on-node network diagram can be changed to make an activity-on-arrow diagram and a bar chart.
Objectives:
After completing this course, students will be able to:
- List the variables that affect the project schedule as well as the rules for computing project time
- Define forward pass computations
- Define backward pass computations
- Explain the relationship of float to critical path
- Explain how network calculations are performed
- Describe constrained end date scheduling
- Explain how to reduce activity durations
- Describe the use of bar charts in project scheduling
- Demonstrate how to determine the critical path of project
Topics:
- Basics of scheduling computations
- Forward pass computations
- Backward pass computations
- Activity maximum float
- Network calculations
- Constrained end date scheduling
- Reducing activity durations
- Use of the bar chart
