Basic Terminologies
Objectives
Activity
Activities represent work to be done in order to
complete a project
OD (Original Duration) and RD (Remaining
Duration)
The estimated time required to complete an activity is
called OD. The amount of time left to complete an
activity after it has started is known as RD (Remaining
Duration).
Basic Terminologies
Predecessor
The activity that effects start or finish dates of
other activities (successor activities).
Predecessor
Successor
Basic Terminologies
Successor
The activity for which start or finish dates are
dependent on other activities (predecessor
activities).
Predecessor
Successor
Basic Terminologies
Relationship
Any sort of connection between two activities is
known as relationship.
Generally there are four types of relationships:
SS (Start to Start)
FS (Finish to Start)
FF (Finish to Finish)
SF (Start to Finish)
Basic Terminologies
Lag
Lag staggers or delays the relationship of one
activity (predecessor) to another (successor).

Basic Terminologies
TF (Total Float)
Duration, measured in planning units, the activity can
be delayed without affecting the project finish date.
Negative or zero Total Float indicates that timely
completion of the activity is critical to the completion of
the project. Such activities are called Critical
Activities.
FF (Free Float)
The amount of time, measured in planning units, the
early start of an activity can be delayed without
delaying early start of a successor activity. Such
activities are called Non-critical Activities.
Basic Terminologies
Constraints
Constraints are ground realities that over-rule the
logical start and finish time of the activity.
For example, a certain piece of equipment will be
received on, say, 25th of March. That equipment’s
erection activity cannot be started before 26th of
March irrespective of the fact that the foundation
will be ready by 15th of March.
So we will simply put a constraint to this activity that
it cannot start before 26th of March. Similarly
concreting work cannot be easily done in winter
months in regions where temperature goes below
freezing during winter.
Basic Terminologies
Critical Activity
An activity that has potential of delaying a project is
called a critical activity. Such activities possess total
float equal to zero or even less.
Critical Path
Chain of critical activities that has potential of delaying
a project is called Critical Path.
Critical Path Method (CPM)
A network analysis technique used to predict project
duration, by analyzing which sequence of activities
(which path) has the least amount of scheduling
flexibility (the least amount of float).
Basic Terminologies
Critical Path
A
Predecessor
ES = 1 EF = 10

FS Lag = 0 ES=15 OD=6 EF=20
Predecessor
Scheduling
The process of calculating start and end dates of
the activities. This process is carried out in two
passes i.e. Forward Pass & Backward Pass.
Forward Pass
The process of calculating start and finish dates of
each activity starting from the project start date.
This process generates early start and early finish
dates for each activity.
Basic Terminologies
Backward Pass
The process of calculating finish and start dates of
each activity starting from the project finish date.
This process generates Late Start and Late Finish
dates for each activity.
Data Date
The point in time that separates actual (Historical)
data from future (Scheduled) data.
Basic Terminologies
Man-Hours
It is yardstick for measurement of effort. For example,
4 Man-hour will mean any of the following:
1 man working for 4 hours
2 men working for 2 hours
4 men working for 1 hour
Standard Man-hours
Estimated effort per unit required to perform a job in
terms of man-hours.
Basic Terminologies
Earned Man-hours
It is amount of work executed in terms of standard
man-hours.
Project / Budgeted Man-hours
Total number of man-hours required to execute a
project.
Actual Man-hours
It is the man-hours actually utilized to execute work.
Basic Terminologies
Budgeted Cost
Total estimated cost approved for execution of a
project.
Cost at Completion
The expected total cost at completion of an activity
or a project. Cost at completion is estimated
periodically during course of project execution.
Basic Terminologies
Cost Center
A Cost Center is the lowest identifiable/measurable
activity to which costs incurred can be booked.
Direct Cost
Costs that can be clearly attributed to the activity
performed. These costs are also called Variable Costs
because these are dependent on quantity of the work
performed.
Indirect Cost
Costs that cannot be clearly attributed to specific activity.
These costs are also called Fixed Costs because these
are incurred irrespective of the quantity of the work
performed.
Basic Terminologies
Resource:
Anything that is required to perform an activity is
called a resource.
Resources can be Manpower, Equipment
and Materials.
