- 6. Commonly used terms Activity – a specific project task that requires resources and time to complete Baseline – the original approved plan Crash - in CPM, an activity can be conducted at a normal pace or at an expedited pace at a greater cost Critical - an activity or event that if delayed will delay project completion Critical path – the series of activities that determines the duration of a project. It is the longest path through the project. 7
- 7. Commonly used terms Deliverables- any measurable, tangible, verifiable outcome, result, or item that must be produced to complete a project Fast tracking – a method of shortening the critical path by carrying out activities in parallel Gantt chart – a manner of illustrating multiple time-based activities on a horizontal time scale PERT – Program Evaluation and Review Technique chart depict task, duration, and dependency information in a network form. 8

- 14. Critical Path /“Pert” Charts
- 15. PERT: Program Evaluation and Review Technique CPM: Critical Path Method • Graphically displays project activities • Estimates how long the project will take • Indicates most critical activities • Show where delays will not affect project PERT and CPM
- 16. The Network Diagram • Network (precedence) diagram • Activity-on-arrow (AOA) • Activity-on-node (AON) • Activities • Events
- 17. The Network Diagram (cont’d) Path • 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 between the length of path and the length of critical path
