Rules for Designing the Activity-on-Node network diagram
- A project network should have only one start node
- A project network should have only one end node
- A node has a duration
- Links normally have no duration
- “Precedents” are the immediate preceding activities
- Time moves from left to right in the project network
- A network should not contain loops
- A network should not contain dangles
Critical Path Method for Project management
Critical Path Method (CPM) is a method used in project planning, generally for project scheduling for the on-time completion of the project. It helps in the determination of the earliest time by which the whole project can be completed. There are two main concepts in this method namely critical task and critical path.
