The briefing consists of two parts:

Part 1:Your internal analysis of what is happening. This is private and not for customer consumption.

Part 2:Your report to the customer

Each activity is represented by a box and they are numbered, so they can be tracked. Green boxes have no successor activities (no dependent children).

When there is only one dependent activity, the arrow to the successor activity (child) is blue. When there are multiple dependent activities, the arrows to the children are light blue.

The time position of the left-hand side of each box exactly represents the start time of the activity, e.g., activities 201, 202, and 203 are all planned to start at the beginning of month 2.

The time of the end of the arrow exiting the right side of an activity exactly represents the end time of the activity, e.g., activity 201 is planned to end at the end of month 2, so that the dependent activity, 301, can start at the beginning of month 3.

The actual projected status of the project after month 5 is given in Figure 2.
