(1) The first step is to make a mental picture of what activities must be performed to construct this project from start to finish, and then create a rough activity list with the help of everyone’s input.

(ON #20) e. After you have determined the activities to be performed for the project, you must put each task in a logical sequence in which they will actually be constructed. Your finished activity list will be broken down into three separate columns showing the following information: (1) Activity Number Column: Each and every work activity will be assigned an activity number. It is best to use numeric values in increments of 5 or 10, as this allows you to insert Never additional tasks later as the need arises. use the same number twice, as this leads to confusion.
