Project Planning

Project implementers often resort to the critical path method to plan these projects, prepare their programs and monitor their implementation. This method requires accurate information about the timing of various actions, such as determining the dates for preparing design specifications and requesting the necessary materials, and identifying the works affected by any delay that may occur, and the extent of this impact. The computer is used to determine the critical path in large and complex projects.

Definition of Terms

The works and functions that must be performed are defined by actions. Each action begins and ends with an event. The events are shown in the critical path diagram by circles with serial numbers and connected to each other by arrows that symbolize the actions.

The critical path diagram for the process of replacing a car tire with a puncture. The numbers written on the arrows indicate the time each process takes.

The graph of the critical path diagram in the first planning stage, and the ladder that shows the number of people busy each minute.

The figure on the previous two pages shows the critical path diagram for this process. The diagram shows the logical sequence of actions, their deadlines, and event numbers. “A” and “B” are the actions that begin and end with the same events, as is the case for the actions between the seventh and eighth events.
