Project Management Series: Understanding Scheduling Computations
Product Code: proj07 Time: 3.0 hour(s) CEUs: Available

Summary:

This course explains how to perform forward and backward computations to determine the critical path in a project network diagram and shows how an activity-on-node network diagram can be changed to make an activity-on-arrow diagram and a bar chart.

Objectives:

  • List the variables that affect the project schedule as well as the rules for computing project time
  • Define forward pass computations
  • Define backward pass computations
  • Explain the relationship of float to critical path
  • Explain how network calculations are performed
  • Describe constrained end date scheduling
  • Explain how to reduce activity durations
  • Describe the use of bar charts in project scheduling
  • Demonstrate how to determine the critical path of project


Topics:

  • Basics of scheduling computations
  • Forward pass computations
  • Backward pass computations
  • Activity maximum float
  • Network calculations
  • Constrained end date scheduling
  • Reducing activity durations
  • Use of the bar chart
