Project Schedule Network Diagram

A diagram that visually shows the dependencies and sequencing among activities in the project schedule.

Key Points

  • Displays activity nodes and the logical links that define order and dependency (FS, SS, FF, SF).
  • Used to identify the critical path, total/float values, and potential bottlenecks.
  • Supports schedule development, what-if analysis, and compression techniques like fast tracking and crashing.
  • Often created with the precedence diagramming method; leads and lags can be shown on relationships.

Example

In a software project, "Develop Feature A" must finish before "System Test" can start (finish-to-start). "Prepare Test Data" can begin once "Design Complete" starts (start-to-start) with a 2-day lag. The network diagram maps these links so the team can find the critical path and schedule buffers.

PMP Example Question

Which artifact best illustrates how activities depend on one another in the project schedule?

  1. Work Breakdown Structure (WBS)
  2. Project Schedule Network Diagram
  3. RACI Matrix
  4. Milestone List

Correct Answer: B — Project Schedule Network Diagram

Explanation: The network diagram visually presents the logical relationships (dependencies and sequence) among schedule activities.

ICS/OT Cybersecurity Fundamentals — Security Built for Industrial Systems

Industrial control systems cannot be secured like ordinary IT. A forced reboot, aggressive scan, or incompatible patch can interrupt production and create real safety consequences. Effective OT security begins with understanding the systems, constraints, and risks unique to industrial environments.

This course gives IT professionals, engineers, operators, and security practitioners a practical foundation in ICS threats, zone and conduit design, risk assessment, passive asset visibility, and vendor evaluation. You will learn how IEC 62443, NIST CSF, and MITRE ATT&CK for ICS apply where availability and safety come first.

Eight reconstructed incidents—including Stuxnet, Triton, Ukraine 2015, Colonial Pipeline, and PIPEDREAM—show how attackers move through OT environments, what they target, and which defenses could have changed the outcome.

Watch the course preview, then build the vocabulary, frameworks, and judgment needed to take credible first steps in ICS/OT cybersecurity.
