Network diagramming is a logical, sequential process that requires you to consider the order in which activities should occur to schedule projects as efficiently as possible. Remember that all projects have predecessors, or activities, that must/should occur before the next step within a project plan can take place. Using a project scheduling application, complete the following: Construct a linked bar-chart and an AON diagram for the schedule shown in Figure 6.4 of the textbook. Your schedule must include activity relationships, too. Please note that a Gantt chart that shows activity relationships is called a linked bar-chart.
