Project Schedule Network Diagram

A diagram that visually shows the dependencies and sequencing among activities in the project schedule.

Key Points

  • Displays activity nodes and the logical links that define order and dependency (FS, SS, FF, SF).
  • Used to identify the critical path, total/float values, and potential bottlenecks.
  • Supports schedule development, what-if analysis, and compression techniques like fast tracking and crashing.
  • Often created with the precedence diagramming method; leads and lags can be shown on relationships.

Example

In a software project, "Develop Feature A" must finish before "System Test" can start (finish-to-start). "Prepare Test Data" can begin once "Design Complete" starts (start-to-start) with a 2-day lag. The network diagram maps these links so the team can find the critical path and schedule buffers.
