Activity Network (PERT) Chart
Management and Planning
ConceptDraw Office suite is a software for decision making. The 7 Management and Planning Tools is a set for such diagrams:
- Affinity Diagram,
- Relations Diagram,
- Prioritization Matrix,
- Root Cause Tree Diagram,
- Involvement Matrix,
- Activity Network Chart (PERT) ,
- Risk Diagram (PDPC).
ConceptDraw Office suite provides visual tools that are given support on the stage of the decision making.
Activity Network Chart (PERT)
Activity Network and Review Technique and Project Evaluation, commonly abbreviated PERT, is a statistical tool, used in project management, that is designed to analyze and represent the tasks involved in completing a given project.
This diagram identifies and builds the schedule of actions.
This diagram is constructed as part of the process in creating a schedule of corrective actions. The PERT chart shows the logical connections and consequence of tasks to be performed. It displays the time period for problem solving and the implementation of all activities through the critical path.
Typical Uses
This comprehensive solution set is intended for managers in any size company, who are looking for tools to address issue management. The 7 MP solution is intended for business consultants, trainers and coaches to assist in visualization of different problem solving methodologies.
Best Practices
Create the PERT chart to work with action order, and rework actions to reduce critical path length.
- Start new schedule document - In ConceptDraw PROJECT create new schedule document.
- Enter actions in the schedule - Enter actions in the schedule, set start and finish dates, and logical links between actions.
- Create PERT chart - Use plugin “PERT chart” to generate PERT chart in ConceptDraw DIAGRAM
Example.1 Activity Network Chart (PERT) — Sales
A PERT Chart gives you a timeline for an entire process. The critical path on this example is highlighted in red.
The Seven Management and Planning Tools solution permit you to explore the complexity of the problem, to create a detailed view, and to assess the number of skills that are required. Using a small number of factors develops a detailed understanding of a problem’s complexity and helps build a proven demand for resources (human, material, or otherwise). This lets you explain the involvement of participants who are critical for overall success

The reliability is a cornerstone for any corporate computer network. If you want to provide a high fault tolerance, a mesh network topology would be the solution. The main advantage of this network is that every node can work as a commutator, although it’s not easy to set up this kind of network.
A mesh network topology may be full, or partial. Full mesh network means that each node of the network (computer, workstation or other equipment) is connected directly to each of the other nodes. A partial mesh topology means that a part of nodes are connected with a whole network, and the other part of nodes are only connected to those equipment, they exchange the majority of data. This illustration shows schematic diagram of a partial mesh network containing six nodes. Each node is represented as a circles and connections are drawn as straight lines. The connections may be both wired and wireless. This scheme can be used to make the specific logical or physical network diagrams by means the ConceptDraw Computer and Networks solution.

Creating a detailed network plan can cause a lot of headache to an unexperienced user. And it is worth mentioning that ConceptDraw DIAGRAM is a decent tool for creating a network diagram, a tool that is easy-to-use. To get an accurate diagram use the vector shapes from the special libraries that represent workstations, network appliances, wiring systems and connect them with smart-connectors, just as simple as that.
This communication network diagram displays the way different components of a computer network communicate with each other. When representing network information, such as depicting all the equipment in a large network, it is helpful to make visual representation. Network diagram provides an easy way to show the way the connections between an equipment in a large network. This diagram of a communication network depicts a network composed of three sub-networks. It uses a network equipment symbols to represent the different devices that make up a network communication including routers, Ethernet devices and end-point equipment.

Network community structure is a network which nodes can be easily grouped into the sets of nodes with dense internally connections.
This example shows a network that displays the community structure with three groups of nodes with dense internal connections and sparser connections between the groups.

Workflow Diagram - workflow process diagram is a visual representation of a organizational process flow. Often it used as the same visual notation as process flow diagram. Visualising business processes using workflow diagram (workflow process diagram) allows estimate business process efficiency, analyse and optimize the process itself. Workflow diagram helps get focusing on each step and relations between workflow steps. ConceptDraw DIAGRAM is software for making workflow diagram. It contains specific designed graphics to draw workflow diagrams effectively. This is workflow diagram maker which do your work process effective.
