Converting a CPM Diagram into Precedence

Network Diagram
Once you have drawn the CPM diagram:
1. Replace the 1st event or node of the CPM with a Start node (they are equal)
2. Replace every activity on the CPM with a precedence diagram node
3. Replace the last event or node on the CPM diagram with a Finish node (they are equal)
4. Do the forward pass
5. Do the backward pass
