Construction terms

EF =

The latest the activity can start without delaying project completion

LS =

Is the determination of the timing and sequence of operations in the project and their assembly to give the overall completion time.

A basic unit of work as part of the total project that is easily measured and controlled.

It is called task

It is time and resources consuming.

A point that is usually that start or finish of a certain activity with zero duration.

The longest continuous patch in network from start to finish.

It represents the summation of durations of activities and lags along that path, taking in considerations calendars, constraints, resources and other impacting factors.

An activity that must finish in order for the succeeding activitues to start.

An activity that cannot start until another activity has finished.

Is defined as minimum waiting period between the finish of an activity and the start of its successor.

It is defined as the graphic representation of project activities in a time scaled bar lines with no links between activities.

Diagrams may be either avitivty on arrow or activity on node.

Both methods indicate the logical relationship between activities and can be used to indicate the shortest completion time and the activities that must be completed on time to ensure the timely completion of the project. At

The activity is represented by arrows between nodes, the nodes represent the events of the activity.Earth

The earliest the activity can startd

Greatest EF of all immediate preceding activities

The earliest the activity can finish
