3 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

4 Project Exercise 1

5 Project Exercise 1

6 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 = EST+Duration

10 What’s in the box? Earliest Start Estimated Duration Earliest Finish
Activity Number Activity Description Latest Start Float Latest Finish Earliest Start Estimated Duration Earliest Finish Activity Number Activity Description Latest Start Float Latest Finish Earliest Start Estimated Duration Earliest Finish Activity Number Activity Description Latest Start Float Latest Finish

11 Forward Pass

12 Forward Pass

13 Project Exercise 1

14 Exercise 1 – Forward Pass
Carry out a forward pass on Project in Exercise 1

15 Project Exercise 1

16 Project Exercise 1 Dangler Dangler Dangler

17 Start and Finish Nodes

18 What’s in the box? Earliest Start Estimated Duration Earliest Finish
Activity Number Activity Description Latest Start Float Latest Finish Earliest Start Estimated Duration Earliest Finish Activity Number Activity Description Latest Start Float Latest Finish Earliest Start Estimated Duration Earliest Finish Activity Number Activity Description Latest Start Float Latest Finish

19 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

20 Backward Pass

21 Backward Pass

22 Project Exercise 1

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

24 Ex1 - After Backward Pass

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

30 Ex1 – Float

31 Ex1 – Critical Path

32 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.
