Advanced CPM Scheduling

Like Duolingo, but for Advanced CPM Scheduling. Tomo turns the whole topic into a game you play five minutes a day, until it actually sticks.

For the part of you with thirty open tabs that never became anything.

18 levels across 3 sections, about 36 minutes end to end, roughly 7 days at five minutes a day. It moves through Complex Logic and Constraint Modeling; Resource Dynamics and Optimization; and Risk, Forensics, and Claims.

What you'll learn

Key ideas in Advanced CPM Scheduling

  • SS and FF relationships allow activities to overlap
  • Lags are invisible logic connectors
  • Standard float calculations fail on internal duration
  • Schedule auditors flag heavy use of lags
  • Delay in successor start creates new sub-path
  • Modeling wait times as distinct activities ensures transparency
  • Identifying how non-FS relationships create hidden bottlenecks
  • Evaluating the auditability of lags versus discrete activities
  • Float is calculated based on the calendar of the successor activity
  • Total Float can be manipulated by constraints
  • Non-FS relationships create hidden bottlenecks
  • Crossing from restrictive to expansive calendars inflates float
  • Longest Path method ignores float values
  • Auditability of lags versus discrete activities
  • Distinguishing between Total Float and Longest Path
  • Retained Logic respects the original network ties

The Hidden Gears of Logic

Imagine you need to account for a 7-day concrete drying period. If you use a 'Lag' instead of a distinct activity, what is the primary limitation you'll face in your software?
