ii. Predecessor Activity: An activity that precedes another activity in the network.

iii. 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 Project.

c. Critical Path: The longest connected chain of interdependent activities through the net-work schedule that establishes the minimum overall Project duration and contains no float.

d. Event: The starting or ending point of an activity.

e. Float: The measure of leeway in starting and completing an activity.

i. Float time is not for the exclusive use or benefit of either Owner or Contractor, but is a jointly owned, expiring Project resource available to both parties as needed to meet schedule milestones and Contract completion date.

01 32 00 - 2 Construction Progress Documentation

ii. Free float is the amount of time an activity can be delayed without adversely af-fecting the early start of the successor activity.

iii. Total float is the measure of leeway in starting or completing an activity without adversely affecting the planned Project completion date.
