An exercise -- Draw activity network diagram

Draw an Activity-On-Arrow network diagram for following project.

c	g, j	9	35
d	b	12	40
e	a	8	50
f	-	7	40
g	i	20	80
h	f	15	30
i	-	5	40

Probabilistic Situation

This video takes a probabilistic problem, draws network diagram, finds critical path and discusses the effect of time on probability of completion of the project (with calculation of probabilities).

Drawing Activity on Arrow Diagram and Use of Dummy Activities

This video draws an activity-on-arrow (A-O-A) diagram for a given work breakdown structure of a project with explanation of steps. It also discusses about use of dummy activities. Watch the video and try drawing the A-O-A diagram for given WBS on your own.

The below WBS is for your exercise:

Activities	Immediate Predecessors	Activity Time in Days
A	None	10
B	None	12
C	None	18
D	A	15
E	B	20
F	C	25
G	D, E	15
H	D, E	18
I	E	8
J	E	9
K	J	7
L	F	10
M	K, L	12
N	I	5
O	G	22
P	H, N	21
