Why should many of the constraints be imposed on a network after the basic logic network has been completed, rather than incorporating them as the network is being developed?

What will be an ideal response?


It may be advisable to develop an unconstrained scheduling network in
order to begin the scheduling analysis with an ideal case. As constraints are imposed
in successive iterations, the scheduler will have a fuller appreciation of the impact
that specific constraints have on the project duration. As these project extensions are
recognized, it will be easier to isolate the impact of specific constraints. If these
constraints are recognized early in the scheduling effort, it might be tempting to
automatically incorporate them in the original schedule and thereby limit or reduce
scheduling flexibility, increase project duration generally add to project cost, and
confuse the scheduling logic.
