1.02 DEFINITIONS
A. Activity: A discrete part of a project that can be identified for planning, scheduling, monitoring, and
controlling the project. Activities included in a construction schedule consume time and resources.
1. Critical Activity: An activity on the critical path that must start and finish on the planned
early start and finish times.
2. Predecessor Activity: An activity that precedes another activity in the network.
3. Successor Activity: An activity that follows another activity in the network.
B. CPM: Critical path method, which is a method of planning and scheduling a construction project
where activities are arranged based on activity relationships. Network calculations determine when
activities can be performed and the critical path of a project.
C. Critical Path: The longest connected chain of interdependent activities through the network schedule
that establishes the minimum overall project duration and contains no float.
D. Float: The measure of leeway in starting and completing an activity.
1. Float time is not for the exclusive use or benefit of either FedEx or Contractor, but is a jointly
owned, expiring project resource available to both parties as needed to meet schedule
milestones and the Contract completion date.
