What is Project Schedule Network Diagram?

A schedule network diagram is a visual map that depicts the sequence and links between all of the tasks or activities in your project, similar to a flowchart that defines the processes to build a cake. It is a graphical representation that shows how tasks are related, their sequence, and dependencies, as well as the path from the beginning to the completion of the project. This diagram assists project managers in visualizing the flow of work, understanding which activities are reliant on others, and identifying the critical path—the sequence of tasks that determines the total duration of the project. It’s a visual assistance that helps with planning, scheduling, and ensuring that everything happens in the correct order to finish the project on schedule.
