Task
1. Network Diagram
The network diagram is based on redevelopment work of the London Bridge Station.
Following is the network diagram for the project activities which are in parallel as well as
sequential in the sequence (Harrisonand Lock 2017). Network diagram is important tool to plan
the project work. The main objectives of the project network diagram are:
 Construction of network representation of project activities
 Understanding the type of dependencies of project activity
 Recognition of type of project constraints which create the activity sequences
 Identification of critical path in the project (Lock 2017).
 Analyzing the possible schedule of the project plan
Network diagram is used for detailed planning of project. It is an implementation tool to
analyze scheduling activities and control the project. This project is consisted of large number of
activities which are required to complete in certain period of time before completion of entire
project. The network analysis is performed to value the complex project which contains related
plus interdependent activities (Nicholas and Steyn 2017). It is a term to aid management for
planning in addition to controlling the project. The project management techniques show
interrelationship of different jobs and tasks that can make entre project and identify the critical
activities of the project.

Critical path analysis is defined as logical sequence of series of project events required
for successful completion of project work. The critical path technique is aid into time
management, ongoing data to assess the project progress and considerable information for the
decision making (Heagney 2016). Following table shows the critical path of the project plan and
red highlighted part of the critical path of the project:
