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

Hi Gerhard,

As we don't subscribe to "teaching to the exam", we don't bother to debrief our clients on what was and was not on the exam.  Our commitment is to produce more competent, capable professional level practitioners, not just people who can pass multiple choice exams, which means our focus is on "best practices" and not exam questions.

 

In the last PMBOK Guide, PMI dropped ADM (with good reason, IMPO) as it is no longer used (last time I used it on a real job was in 1970-1982) and there is only one major software package which supports it. (Microplanner)

We still receive lessons learned about AoA diagram based questions.

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.....
