Hammock Task

A
AB Timo 👤 Member for 15 years

If hammock is an activity that is derived by two activities i,e start Date of Hammock is Derived by its Predecessor and finish Date by its successor. ie,

Predessor -->SS-->Hammock-->FF-->Successor

Then Can we say that Generally Every activity having Predessor and Successor is "Hammock"   ????

Microplanner - reverse logic event (or activity)

What is a reverse logic event (or activity) as per Microplanner? Please clarify if an event or an activity or both.

Look on the following link as a reference: http://www.mosaicprojects.com.au/WhitePapers/WP1035_RD-CPM.pdf

I am not sure about the need of RDCPM because Spider Project have many of the features the paper says can only be implemented with RDCPM, perhaps convenient but not necessary.
