I would like you to do a Network Diagram $($AON$)$ for your project.

You will have to think about the sequencing of the tasks in your WBS$,$ and decide how the order that they will be done. I have posted a sample diagram to serve as an additional teaching model.

Additional Notes:

$$ Remember that the tasks in the boxes are the ones at the lowest level of your WBS$.$

$$ Make sure that you include the task WBS element ID and description in each box. You can

abbreviate the description if you want $-$ just make sure that I can get the idea of what the

task is$.$

$$ It is typical to start on the left side of the page with a box labeled $$Project start$,$ from which

activity arrows flow to the right.

$$ It is typical to end on the right side of the page with a box labeled $$Project End$,$ from which

all activity arrows return to$.$

$$ Include the $2$nd WBS level task descriptions $($one up from the lowest level$)$ on the chart near

their lowest level tasks to provide a visual indication of the work group.

$$ You absolutely must have every task from your WBS on the network chart $-$ you should

not assume that some tasks are assumed to be on the chart. On large projects, you will not

be available to explain assumed tasks to a large project team.

$$ Remember from M$6$ Lecture on the WBS$....$For EM$637$ Project Control class, assume that

planning and executing Project Management tasks are not part of the project, and do NOT

include these tasks in your WBS$,$ Network Chart or Project Schedule.

$$ Remember that one of the most important things that can be shown on the Network

Chart is "parallelism" of tasks. This means that if two tasks or strings of tasks can

start at the same time, they should be shown that way on the Network Chart $($lined up

vertically$).$ This will be helpful when you develop the schedule for your project, and

have to show the relationship between the start$/$end of one task and the start$/$end of

another task.

I would like you to do your Network Diagram using either Microsoft Excel or Visio. I specifically do NOT

want you to use Mic. Project Network Chart function.

In "Course Material", I have posted the $"$ Sample Network$-$ Teaching Aid". Hope this helps you

see what I am looking for in a network chart.

Some things to note on the sample:

$1.$ The WBS associated with this had $3$ levels: Level $1($the highest$)$ is the project; Level $2($next

level down$)$ are task groups, and Level $3($lowest$)$ are the tasks. Notice that there are task boxes

on the network chart for the WBS level $3$ tasks. The Level $2$ descriptions are near enough to

their subordinate tasks so you can see the relationship.

$2.$ Notice that in general, The tasks start in the upper left and work their way to the

right.

$3.$ Notice the vertical alignment associated with parallel tasks or strings of parallel tasks. Do your best to align the tasks as you need to$.$ I am teaching a concept, and will not deduct points

if your alignment is not perfect.

This is the WBS:

Building Atlanta United FC Stadium's Retractable Roof

Description

I am the Project Manager for the new Atlanta United FC stadium in Atlanta, Georgia. The project's

goal is to build a roof that opens up and closes. This will ensure that if there is a probability of rain

the game can still proceed. This will allow Atlanta United soccer and football team to carry on the

games despite of rain conditions. It would be a similar roof than that of La Caja Magica in Madrid.

We will subcontract this work to RoofTech Solutions, who is well$-$known for their ability to

develop and build cutting$-$edge retractable roof systems for sport stadiums, guaranteein game

continuity in inclement weather.
