Editor's Notes
- WBS is hierarchical, Network is sequential, emphasizing interdependencies
- Above is by WBS code, below is by description, presumably with a duration
- Lets us do the post it activities bettter as well, wherein each activity is a
- Much of this should be review from BUS786…. Fun activity- if not sure of sequences for activities, can put activities on post its and then move them around. (another reason to use AoN)
- People may have some different dependencies Use the post its- (have people write the ID and durations on and as much of description as appropriate) Break into teams, give them 5 minutes to come up with an order. Find a volunteer team to present- see if others agree or disagree. Make changes as needed. Save one for future illustration
- Can do a network- examples later
- Now we are going to use the AON we did before to compute Slack by hand.
- Start with first activities, fill in top (ES, EF). Convention is start at 0.
- Don’t need to bother putting numbers on the arrows that are the sole arrow going into a node, in fact # on arrows are optional
- Free slack typically occurs at the end of a path that feeds into a merge activity where another feeder is the critical path The whole ES-EF-LS-LF algorithm does not capture Free Slack, only Total Slack. Use MS Project.
- Draw the AoN Network. CP R-D-F 11 days R-S-A-F 9 days- 2 days total slack for A,S, but only A has free slack. If S disappears for a day without telling anyone, A will be annoyed. Project won’t be late. However, if R,P, or F disappear for a day, the project is delayed as these are critical activities!
