Network Diagram Rules
Project network or project diagram can be constructed by using the following rules:
• Node 1 represents the start of the project. An arc should lead from node 1 to represent
each activity that has no predecessors.
• A node (called the finish node) representing the completion of the project should be
included in the network.
• Number the nodes in a way that the node representing the completion of an activity has
larger number that the beginning of the activity
• An activity should not be represented by more than one arc in the network.
• Two nodes can be connected by at most one arc.

Find solution of the following questions
1. Draw the project Network
2. Find the expected duration and variance of each activity
3. Calculate the earliest and latest occurrence for each event
4. Calculate expected project length
5. Calculate the variance and standard deviations of the project length
6. Find the probability of the project completing in 40 days
• PERT is a probabilistic method, where the activity times are represented by a
probability distribution.
• This distribution of activity times is based on three different time estimates
made for each activity
1. Optimistic time estimate (to or a)
2. Most likely time estimate (tm or m
3. Pessimistic time estimate (tp or b)
The expected time of an activity
Variance of an activity

Critical Activity: An activity is said to be critical if the total float (TFij) for
any activity (ij) is zero
Critical Path condition:
i. ESi = LFi
ii. ESj = LFj
iii. ESj – ESi = LFj – LFi = Tij

Calculate the standard normal variable
