Sequencing the Schedule Activities

Sequencing activities is central to building a dependable schedule that stakeholders can trust. Learn how to visualise activity flow, apply the Precedence Diagramming Method, calculate float, and identify the critical path to focus effort where it matters most. Build confidence communicating sequencing logic, risks, and optimisation opportunities across the project lifecycle.

Who is this course for
  • Project Managers who want to strengthen scheduling logic and critical path analysis
  • Assistant Project Managers who need practical techniques for building and sequencing activities
  • Development Managers who oversee dependencies, resources and schedule risk
  • Client-Side Project Leads who review timeline integrity and track changes against baseline
  • Anyone seeking clearer methods for linking activities and communicating schedule impacts
What will I learn
  • What defines sequencing, critical path and float in project time management
  • How to build a schedule network diagram using the Precedence Diagramming Method
  • When to apply mandatory, discretionary and external dependencies
  • Where to use leads and lags without undermining schedule logic
  • Why communicating critical path and near-critical risks improves delivery confidence
What’s covered in this course
  • What are some of the terms in Project Time Management?: Define project schedule, project activity, schedule network, PDM relationships, activity durations, float and critical path.
  • Critical Path management and sequencing the Schedule: Focus scheduling effort on the longest path to safeguard the end date and enable time compression where feasible.
  • Getting started – Critical Path Analysis through development of the Project Schedule Network Diagram: Establish the basis for CPA by building a clear sequence of activities and relationships.
  • Developing the Project Schedule Network Diagram: Engage the team to visualise logic, confirm dependencies and secure buy-in on activity flow.
  • What’s involved in a Project Schedule Network Diagram?: Select templates, name components, remove redundancies, add nodes and connections, and prepare to share with stakeholders.
  • Durations, Connections and Dependencies: Ignore resource limits at this early stage, create ball-park durations, and apply FS, SS, FF, SF relationships with mandatory, discretionary and external logic.
  • Applying Leads and Lags: Use leads and lags appropriately to reflect reality while preserving sound sequencing logic and documentation.
  • Assignment of Costs and Resources: Assign and level resources, review profiles, and align milestone costs to maintain schedule realism.
  • Communicating the Project Schedule: Ensure the critical path and implications are understood by the team, stakeholders and sponsor.
  • RECAP - Sequencing the Schedule Activities: Identify ES/EF/LS/LF, calculate float, produce the CPA report, address risks, explore compression, and report any critical path changes.
