Why Network Diagrams?
  • Splits up the decision making process into
  • Method/logic - the order in which tasks have to
    be completed
  • Time estimates for the time to completion can
    be added to each task
  • Resources these can be added and then analysis
    carried out

Why Network Diagrams?
  • Splits up the decision making process into
  • Method/logic - the order in which tasks have to
    be completed
  • Time estimates for the time to completion can
    be added to each task
  • Resources these can be added and then analysis
    carried out

7
Two Parts to the Analysis
  • Forward Pass
  • Calculates the Duration of the Project
  • Backward Pass
  • Calculates the slack/float for each task and
    shows the critical path

8
Forward Pass
In a game of rugby it is a means of cheating
often missed by referees
(BBC, 2005)
9
Forward Pass
  • but in project management it is used
  • To calculate the total duration of the Project
  • For each task
  • Take the earliest start time (EST)
  • Calculate the Earliest finish time (EFT)
  • EFT ESTDuration

Backward Pass
  • To calculate the float for each task?
  • For each task
  • Take the latest start time (LST)
  • Calculate the latest finish time (LFT)
  • LST LFT-Duration

Project Exercise 1
23
Exercise 1 Backward Pass
  • Carry out a backward pass on project exercise 1

25
What about the float?
  • Float LFT-EFT
  • Or
  • Float LST-EST

26
What about the float?
  • Float represents the amount of time that the task
    can be delayed without affecting the outcome of
    the project
  • A task with zero float cannot be delayed and is
    therefore critical to the timely completion of
    the project

27
What about the float?
  • A time optimised project will have a sequence of
    tasks from start to finish that have zero float
  • This sequence of tasks is called the critical path

28
Project Exercise 1
29
Exercise 1 Critical Path
  • Calculate the float for each task and identify
    the critical path through the project

Questions
  • My Project has no critical path. What does this
    mean?
  • My programmer has broken his big toe in a skiing
    accident and cannot type for two weeks (he has a
    valid sick note). How will this affect my
    software delivery date?

33
Directed Study
  • Find the critical path for Project Exercise 2
    (see Lecture 3).
  • Find the critical path for the large project in
    Exercise 3.
