Grace is building a project network that involves testing a prototype. She must design the
prototype (activity 1), build the prototype (activity 2), and test the prototype (activity 3). Activity 1
is the predecessor for activity 2 and activity 2 is the predecessor for activity 3. If the prototype
fails testing, Grace must redesign the prototype; therefore, activity 3 is a predecessor for activity 1.
This is an example of :
•
Conditional statements.
•
Looping.
•
Having more than one start node.
•
Good network development.
•
Natural network flow.
