The critical path method is built around the use of predecessors and successors for each construction task needed to accomplish the job. Most tasks (except the initial task) will have one or more predecessors that need to be accomplished before that task can start. If we select a certain task, such a framing a house, we need to determine what must occur before the framing can be constructed. In this case the ground floor slab will need to be finished before the framing can be placed on top of it. Therefore, creation of a ground floor slab is the predecessor of the house framing task. Conversely, framing the house is a successor of the ground floor slab construction. Following the placement of tasks in the schedule, along with the creation of linkages between the predecessor and s
