Path Convergence

A situation where one scheduled activity relies on multiple predecessor activities before it can proceed.

Key Points

  • Represents multiple incoming dependencies to a single activity in a network diagram.
  • The successor cannot start (or finish) until all required predecessors meet their defined relationships.
  • Raises schedule risk because any predecessor delay can push the successor and critical path.
  • Manage by monitoring all feeder paths, validating logic (FS/SS with lags), and adding buffers where needed.

Example

User Acceptance Testing can start only after System Testing is complete, Data Migration is finished, and the Test Environment is signed off. These three predecessors converge into the UAT activity.

PMP Example Question

In a precedence diagram, Activity F can begin only after Activities B, C, and D are completed. What does this situation illustrate?

  1. Path divergence
  2. Path convergence
  3. Start-to-Start with lead
  4. Resource leveling

Correct Answer: B — Multiple predecessors feeding into one activity

Explanation: More than one predecessor leading into a single successor is path convergence; the other options describe different concepts.

Advanced Project Management — Measuring Project Performance

Move beyond guesswork and status reporting. This course helps you measure real progress, spot problems early, and make confident decisions using proven project performance techniques. If you manage complex projects and want clearer visibility and control, this course is built for you.

This is not abstract theory. You’ll work step by step through Earned Value Management (EVM), learning how cost, schedule, and scope come together to show true performance. You’ll build a solid foundation in EVM concepts, understand why formulas work, and learn how performance data actually supports leadership decisions.

You’ll master Work Breakdown Structures (WBS), control accounts, and budget baselines, then apply core EVM metrics like EAC, TCPI, and variance analysis. Through a detailed real-world example, you’ll forecast outcomes, analyze trends, and understand contingencies and management reserves with confidence.

Learn how experienced project managers monitor performance, communicate results clearly, and take corrective action before projects slip. With practical exercises and hands-on analysis, you’ll be ready to apply EVM immediately. Enroll now and start managing performance with clarity and control.
