Certification Objective 6.03: Examining the Sequencing Outputs

There are many approaches to using activity sequencing: a project manager and the project team can use software programs, the approach can be done manually, or the team can manually do the scheduling and then transfer the schedule into a PMIS. Whichever method is selected, the project manager must remember four things.

• Only the required work should be scheduled.

• Finish-to-start relationships are the most common and preferred.

• Activity sequencing is not the same as a schedule.

• Scheduling comes after activity sequencing.
