Activities
Project steps that consume resources and/or time.
Events
The starting and finishing of activities, designated by nodes AOA convention.
Path A sequence of activities that leads from the starting node to the
finishing node
Critical path The longest path; determines expected project duration
Critical activities Activities on the critical path
Slack Allowable slippage for path; the difference the length of path and the
length of critical path

FOUR PIECES OF INFORMATION ABOUT THE NETWORK ACTIVITIES:
ES-the earliest time activity can start
EF-the earliest time the activity can finish
LS-the latest time the activity can start and not delay the project
LF-the latest time the activity can finish and not delay the project
![Page 19: Project planning and control](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051411/54450a07afaf9fe72b8b4654/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Computation of earliest starting and finishing time is aided by two simple rules:
1. The earliest finish time for any activity is equal to its earliest start time plus its expected duration, t:
EF = ES + t
2. ES for activities at nodes with one entering arrow is equal to EF of the entering arrow.
ES for activities leaving nodes with multiple entering arrows is equal to the largest EF of the entering arrow.
![Page 20: Project planning and control](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051411/54450a07afaf9fe72b8b4654/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Computation of latest starting and finishing time is aided by the use two rules:
1. The latest starting time for each activity is equal to its latest finishing time minus its expected duration, t:
LS = LF - t
2. For nodes with one leaving arrow, LF for arrows entering that node equals the LS of the leaving arrow. For nodes with multiple leaving arrows, LF for arrows entering that node equals the smallest LS of leaving arrows.

The network diagram for a project is shown in the
accompanying figure, with three time estimates for each
activity. Activity times are in weeks. Do the following:
a. Compute the expected time for each activity and the
expected duration for each path
b. Identify the critical path
c. Compute the variance of each activity and the
variance and standard deviation of each path

b. The path that has the longest expected duration is the
critical path. Because path d-e-f has the largest path total, it
is the critical path.
c.

Z = Specified time – Path mean
Path standard deviation
Z indicates how many standard deviations
of the path distribution the specified tine
is beyond the expected path duration.
