PMHUB-G Re: which one is correct? 2 method of calculating ES and LS

To explain quickly, when using ADM or AoA method of scheduling, the clock starts running at time zero.  Using PDM or AoN method, the clock starts running at 1.  This will explain it better.

To my knowledge, PMI no longer asks questions based on ADM, only PDM method....

 The question is regarding the method to be adhered to calculate Early Start(ES) and Late Start(LS).

  a) In some books(Rita Mulcay) the ES of
the first activity is taken as 0(zero) and early finish is
calculated as ES + duration = Early Finish

  b) In some books(Head First) the ES of
the first activity is taken as 1(one) and the early finish
is calculated as ES + duration - 1 = Early Finish.


When the question is regarding "What is the ES of an
activity". Both the books give different answers.....
