Path Divergence

A dependency pattern where one scheduled activity branches into multiple subsequent activities, meaning it has more than one successor.

Key Points

  • Represents branching in a network diagram: one activity leads to several successors.
  • Creates parallel work streams that can increase coordination needs, resource demand, and risk.
  • Successor links may be FS, SS, FF, or SF and can include leads or lags.
  • Can influence float distribution and which branch becomes part of the critical path.

Example

After "Requirements sign-off," the project starts "Solution design," "Test planning," and "Procurement setup" as separate successor activities running in parallel.

PMP Example Question

Which term describes the situation where completing one activity initiates three new activities in the schedule network?

  1. Path Convergence
  2. Path Divergence
  3. Fast Tracking
  4. Lead

Correct Answer: B - One activity branching to multiple successors

Explanation: Path divergence occurs when a single activity has more than one successor. Convergence is the opposite (many predecessors into one). Fast tracking overlaps phases, and a lead shifts timing on a dependency.

AI for Project Managers — Build Plans Faster, Lead Better

Turn messy inputs into structured project plans in minutes. If you are a project manager tired of spending hours on documentation, this course shows you how to use AI to work faster while staying fully in control.

This is not a generic AI course. You will learn how to use AI as a practical co-pilot to build real project artifacts—charters, WBS, schedules, risk registers, and executive reports—using structured, reliable prompt frameworks.

You will also learn how to keep your project aligned across scope, schedule, cost, and risk, and how to interpret performance data like Earned Value Management to support better decisions and communication.

Everything is designed for immediate use. You get ready-to-use prompt templates and workflows you can apply right away in your projects. Watch the video to see how it works and start building your first AI-supported project plan.
