The video I saw was the early start,early finish, Late start and Late finish this topic very important from PMP exam perspective. Firstly in this, I got to know about the float which is the amount of time an activity can be delayed without impacting the project end date. Secondly, I got to know about some definations such as what is early start ? The earliest that an activity can start. Early finish the earliest time that an activity can finish. so obviously late start and late finish is the latest time that an activity can start and finish. Thirdly, the kind of explaination they gave through the representation was a very easy form to understand the things well.

[@pmclounge]

Thank you for your awesome comment! We're thrilled to hear that our video on early start, early finish, late start, and late finish calculations hit the mark, especially from a PMP exam perspective. Float, the secret sauce of project scheduling, is indeed a game-changer! We're glad our explanations helped clarify the definitions of early start, early finish, late start, and late finish. It's like unraveling the time travel mysteries of project management. And hey, we believe in making things easier than Sunday morning sudoku, so we're thrilled (oops, I said it again!) that our representation resonated with you. If you want more mind-bending explanations and witty project management insights, consider subscribing to our channel. Stay tuned for more videos that will make early start and late finish dance in perfect harmony! Thank YOU for being an awesome viewer and embracing the wonders of project scheduling!

[@sunnyrai1]

I have a question. If activity A is ending on day 4, ideally activity B should start on day 5. Because (day 5 + day 6 + day 7) = 3 days. If I am starting activity B on day 4, and with 3 day duration for this activity, it should end on day 6. Including day 7 will make it 4 days. is it not? thank you.

[@pmclounge]

There are two ways to calculate Network Diagram values, you are mixing them up. Check out this video, it should help avoid the confusion - kzbin.info/www/bejne/nZrMoXt_nad0jKc

[@sunnyrai1]

Thank you. That helped. I have viewed couple of other videos and they have explained in the similar manner which u did in this video. So i was confused. But now i have understood. Thank you.

[@pmclounge]

Glad to help, stay connected for more 👍😊

[@KapQueen]

I'm on pages 309 and 310 in Headstart this book is saying that the early start in an activity is always 1. I do understand on the critical path its zero because theres no float on a CP. However you added 0 to A instead of a 1 according to the book. I understand the concept of the calculating strategy but if it's always 1 on the ES our calculations will be off. Please advise if ES on non critical path starts with 1 or 0? Thanks

[@pmclounge]

Hi Hana, there are two ways to calculate ES, EF, LS and LF. We have talked about it in this video - kzbin.info/www/bejne/nZrMoXt_nad0jKc

[@soobs2]

Yes. Same for me. I am confused

[@pmclounge]

You too can refer to this video if you are confused - kzbin.info/www/bejne/nZrMoXt_nad0jKc

[@chamithathukorala8274]

tnx lot...

[@pmclounge]

You are most welcome 😊👍

[@KapQueen]

According to Google the es on any activity it's always one because you cannot start prior to one day I believe your charting is incorrect here please correct me if I am wrong or I am missing something thanks

[@pmclounge]

Hi Hana, I hope you were able to look into the video I pointed to in my previous comment about this. Here's the link kzbin.info/www/bejne/nZrMoXt_nad0jKc and don't forget to subscribe to access all the videos 😊👍

[@kshitijrathod3969]

Why we took 17 in I, as we take lower no in backward. Also I is not connected with G?

[@pmclounge]

In backward pass, we are looking at the Late Finish (which is 17). 11 is the Early Finish. Yes, I is not connected with G in our example
