Advanced Project Scheduling: Precedence Networks and More

Activity logic (interdependency) must reflect reality in nature and diversity. The subject can get complex but understanding it is important in order to be able to simplify without compromising the accuracy and integrity of the schedule. The webinar will introduce an advanced topic in project scheduling: Precedence diagrams. The session will include subtopics such as:

• Definition and Introduction
• The Four Types of Relationships
• Fast-Track and overlapping activities
• Types of Lags
• CPM Calculations for Precedence Diagrams
• Interruptible versus contiguous activities
• Simplifying your schedule

Webinar Objectives
