Activity
Task(s) of the project that consumes time while people/equipment either work or wait.
Activity-on-arrow
Page 10 of 12
(AOA)
Activity-on-arrow method for drawing project networks. The activity is shown as an arrow.
Activity-on-node
(AON)
Activity-on-node method for drawing project networks. The activity is on the node (rectangle).
Burst activity
An activity that has more than one activity immediately following it.
Concurrent engineering
Cross functional teamwork in new-product development projects that provides product design, quality
engineering, and manufacturing process engineering all at the same time.
Critical path
The longest activity path(s) through the network. The critical path can be distinguished by identifying the
collection of activities that all have the same minimum slack.
Gantt chart
Hammock activity
A special-purpose, aggregate activity that identifies the use of fixed resources or costs over a segment of
the project—e.g., a consultant. Derives its duration from the time span between other activities.
Lag relationship
The relationship between the start and/ or finish of a project activity and the start and/or finish of
another activity. The most common lag relationships are (1) finish-to-start, (2) finish-to-finish, (3) start-
to-start, and (4) start-to-finish.
Merge activity
An activity that has more than one activity immediately preceding it.
Parallel activity
Sensitivity
Page 11 of 12
The likelihood that the critical path(s) will change once the project begins to be implemented.
