Hello to all,
A lot of topics and discussion going on around our plannet. Diverse opinion and ideas were thrown. Can we make a sense on some basic fundamental essential planning norms.
A case in point is open ended activities. As any planner knows that got embroiled in 5,000 activities or more, big chances the planner got lost in the intricacy of the logic/links and relationship of activities. Whatever reason, alibi, laziness or excuses the particular planner may have such plans shall not be the norm of planning planet.
In the golden days of manual PERT/CPM or CPM, the rule is to have only 1 i-node as start and 1 j-node as finish. This is the only way to run forward pass and backward pass to arrive at float and total float.
Is it possible for us to have a norm of: only one activity will have no predecessor and only one activity will have no succesors. In this way, we may arrive at zero open ended activities.
Cheers,
Charlie
