Les steps for project network planning models

1. Define the project, i.e., all activities

2. Determine the sequence and relationships of the activities(Gantt chart)

3. Assign time estimates to each activity (CPM: activity times are known vs. PERT: 3 time estimates for each activity)

4. Develop a network diagram

5. Compute the longest time path through the network (Define the Critical Path Analysis)

6. Use the network to plan, schedule, monitor, and control the project

Example

Question: Using the information given, calculate the completion time for this project using CPM and PERT techniques.
