Total Project Time• The shortest time in which the project can
be completed. Determined by the critical path.
• Calculation: forward pass
Forward pass: The earliest start times (EST) of all activities are calculated.
Trom these the earliest finishing times (EFT) are also calculated
![Page 4: Analysing the AoN network Project Management (seminar)](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051401/56649f325503460f94c4df17/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Critical path• sequence of activities that has no float time,
and that determines the duration of the project. It is the longest path. Activities on the critical path are the critical activities.
• The critical path can be identified by a backward pass, calculating the Latest Finishing Times (LFT), and from these the Latest Starting Times (LST).

Floats in AoN
• Total float: the time by which an activity can be delayed or extended without affecting the TPT.It can be used to delay the start of an activity or to increase its duration. TF = LST - EST
• Free float: the time by which an activity can be delayed or extended without affecting the start of any succeding activity. FF = ESTj+1 - EFTj

Example: organising a conference• Objectives:
to organise a 3 days long open scientific conference with 100-200 participants, 30-50 lectures, buffet reception, a conference book of the best studies and TV and radio interviews with some of the most known lecturers.
• Create the WBS chart and create the task list with estimated durations and precedence relations (in a table form)
• Plot both the AoA and AoN diagram• Calculate the TPT, identify the critical path the total
and the free float times.
