| Process execution is composed of two sections: |
|---|
| Templates: | None |
|---|---|
| Statements: |
PMP users need to execute the Statements as listed between the curly brackets below.
PMP users may execute the Recommended Actions following each Statement.
Some of the Statements may not apply to certain projects and managers may add more
of their own Statements as required.

| Statements: |
Determining the sequence, precedence, and relationships of series of activities (diagram);
Optimizing using Forward Pass and Backward Pass techniques; |
|---|---|
| Actions: |
(1) Precedence Diagram Method is a diagramming technique that shows project activities as boxes (or nodes). Activities are linked by precedence relationships to show the sequence in which the activities are performed.
(2) Precedence Relationship is a logical relationship, which shows the sequencing and the dependencies of the activities (boxes or nodes). (3) Forward Pass is a technique using Precedence Diagram. It is used to calculate the time each activity takes, the time between activities (waiting) and the overall time need to finish the project. Its start is the project starting date and its end is the project ending date. (4) Backward Pass is the reverse of the Forward Pass, where its start is the project ending date and its end is the project starting date. Time is calculated backward. (5) Forward Pass and Backward Pass techniques using diagrams is an attempt to put a visual picture to the project activities versus time. The Backward and Forward may produce different time totals, which flags the possibility of design or sequencing errors. |
