The
Schedule Network
As described in the opening of this chapter, the schedule
network captures the logic of the project, reflecting in its structure the
dependencies and relationships among tasks on the WBS. The network we will
concern ourselves with is commonly referred to as the PDM. In a PDM network, the
tasks of the WBS are represented as nodes or rectangles, and arrow-pointed links
relate one task to another. In fact, we can think of the components of a network
as consisting of building blocks.
