Activity Scheduling is an important element in project management. Once all activities have been identified, it is of key importance to order them chronologically to determine the precedence diagram.

Different diagramming methods exist and in combination with the duration estimates, it is possible to determine the critical path of the project. Look at the following videos to understand the different concepts better:

• Precedence Diagramming Methods, different calculation methods
• Create a Precedence Diagram
• Forward and Backward Pass
• Determine Slack or Float and Identify the Critical path
• Activity Crashing 1
• Activity Crashing 2
• Activity Crashing 3
