Project Network Diagrams - Project Management

How to create a project network diagram from a WBS ( Work Breakdown Schedule). Shows how to then calculate the Scheduling times and the critical path using the Critical Path Method (CPM).

[@chickenfriedrice7700]

This goes to show just how much the competence of professors really matter. Now I finally understand this concept fully, and all I had to give up was a little less than 30 minutes of my time. Thank you immensely!

[@EmmanTheGr8]

You deserve an award for the sheer ease in the ability to simplify the complex.

[@MrBryan4you]

Damn... I didn't even have to finish this lesson to understand what i could not grasp 3 years in uni... Uni is a joke... lol... Thanks so much.. May God keep you and raise more people like you in this generation.. You and few others on this topic are doing very well..

[@QVisible]

Great feedback. Thanks!

[@terique69]

Uni is a scam

[@bb_icantaim1047]

I took help from my professor almost 4 times on the same topic, still was getting everything wrong. One view of the video helped me understand things and get the correct solution. Thanks a lot.

[@QVisible]

Thanks

[@AsAxBoSs2012]

I have watched many tutorials on KZbin but this one so far is the most beneficial and straightforward tutorial ever .. Thanks man keep it up !

[@88spaces]

The table, which includes the tasks, time, and predecessors is the key to an accurate, understandable network diagram, and you demonstrated that well. Thank you.

[@QVisible]

well said. 👍

[@charray5317]

Thank you! Thank you! You are awesome. I looked all over youtube for a clear breakdown of this process and you are the best.

[@ateik2002]

This is absolutely stunning. Thank you for making this so simple. Great Teacher.

[@lillym3777]

[@soufbaby007]

Excellent, spent 9 months a uni and it took this one video to make this clear to me! thank you very much...

[@pshivaku75]

All your videos are very simple and brilliant.I was about to skip studying CPM for Exam but now i am solving all the available CPM related questions confidently.It took 3 months not to understand CPM but 30 minutes of your video made to solve the problems the next minute.My exams are scheduled for next week and I am ready for my exams.You are Genius.

[@redkarryn]

Thank you!!! Very helpful. My teacher breezed through this really quickly, and decided to demonstrate it with formulas. ;D

[@thomasdaniel1205]

Thanks a lot for the crystal clear explanation of Activity Networks and Critical path Analysis

[@TechieManufacturer]

This is the most understanding lecture on the network path in project management, thank you... going to complete my assessement

[@QVisible]

👍Great!

[@Govinkuna]

the way you break down the CPM was an eye opener for me. Thanks ob wex

[@joedart8449]

An amazing video which cleared all my misconceptions👌🏻

[@QVisible]

Thanks 😊 👍

[@DerrickJLive]

This is extremely helpful. Thank you.

[@QVisible]

Float is the same as slack. The two terms are identical in the context of project network diagrams. Lag and lead are relevant but are easier to handle and see the effects of these items in a Gantt Chart. Example 1: Take two tasks A and B. B is dependent on A. A takes two days to complete. Usually B would start after day two once A is finished.In some situations however it may suit to delay the start of task B. This delay is lag. Lead is where there is no dependency.But A still starts ahead of B.

[@Pandurang19]

You are absolutely great sir, very well explained in this video. Please make more such informatics videos in the future to help us Thanks

[@QVisible]

Thanks. What are you studying. What topics would you like videos on?

Just brilliant, I couldn't understand the book but you helped tremendously, thanks.

[@mrsbean1970]

Thank you, you made it easy to understand. I have looked at other video but hard to understand how to make the diagram.

[@timasaleh7894]

[@QVisible]

Thanks tima!

[@cotalk]

You are a God at teaching.

[@mikemuchimba2825]

[@padmanaban087]

Crystal Clear .. very nice... Thank You sharing .....

[@TheShow2015]

better than my professor lol

[@fahadalkamli]

Thanks man , I learned more here than from my lecturer.

[@QVisible]

We're all on the same page here but might be looking at it from different perspectives. Let's take the example of tasks A (duration 4) and C (duration 5). C must wait for A to finish before it starts. So when the project starts we start at time 0. A takes 4 days to finish. Your lecture notes are correct...task C does start on EF or A + 1 which is day 5. C's duration is 5 so it is completed over days 5,6,7,8 and 9. The EF of task C is at the end of day 9. In my method when I write in the ES across all tasks I am saying that these tasks start at the end of this day (e.g. task C begins at the cross over from day 4 to 5). This makes the calculations quick. Your lecture notes are correct but look at it in a different way. You'll gain greater understanding of the whole Critical Path if you can understand both perspectives.

[@LLola-yy3nl]

Hi!! Did you do the grant chart for this question? I really love your tutorials!! It's so easy to understand! Thank you so much!!!

[@QVisible]

It's a network diagram rather than a gantt. just used google docs document editor. It looks quicker than it was because I edited out some bits when I was constructing the activities.

[@febemutiara]

thank u so much ure very helpful, i wanna cry, my test is tomorrow :"

[@MoonLight11023]

[@jose9446502976]

you sir are the man.. I UNDERSTOOD YOU NICELY. you have explained clearly the part which students usually get confused. i have one question though , my lecture said there is something called FLOAT, LAG AND LEAD. it will be so great if u could explain that.

Brilliant! Very concise explanation which solved many unanswered questions! What I would like to know in addition is the Free Slack? For example what would the Free Slack of Task D be (having a total slack of 11) but the earliest start date for F is day 1.
