Project Management and Network Planning

Abstract

In this chapter, the use of a network as a tool for generating team spirit and creating confidence in the schedule is illustrated by an example of an actual site preparation contract. An example of a network used to describe a method statement for an erection contract is given. The important use of networks to justify claims for extension of time is explained by the inclusion of two real-life examples.
