Hi everyone, I just found a website by chance, which might be interesting for us. It's another way of implementing project networks in spreadsheets, with critical path analysis. http://ite.pubs.informs.org/Vol3No3/Ragsdale/
Great paper! Would be nice to make sure the Excel macros have an analog in Calc and to try and re-implement this in Calc.
By the way: in my opinion it is absolutely essential, that every task has not only a predecessor, but also a successor! Otherwise this task could delay without having an effect on the end-date of the project!
That's an interesting perspective but perhaps I've misunderstood your point. What about the very first task(s) and very last tasks in a project? Consider
Task A -+-> Task B
|
+-> Task C
In this example, Task A has no predecessor. Also, tasks B & C have no successors. Or this more complex configuration ...
Task A -+-> Task B
|
+-> Task C --+-> Task E
|
Task D ->+
... in which case neither Task A nor Task D have predecessors.

A good pm-tool should at least inform the user, if this is not the case. CU Harald --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
