Schedule

Figure 6-8. Sequence Activities data Flow diagram
Every activity and milestone except the first and last should be connected to at least one predecessor with a
finish-to-start or start-to-start logical relationship and at least one successor with a finish-to-start or finish-to-
finish logical relationship. Logical relationships should be designed to create a realistic project schedule. It may
be necessary to use lead or lag time between activities to support a realistic and achievable project schedule.
Sequencing can be performed by using project management software or by using manual or automated techniques.
