The execution stage of a construction project is beginning.

To review relationships between important tasks, the team needs a tool that highlights activity sequencing and dependencies. A PERT-style network diagram (D) is designed to visualize logical relationships among activities and supports understanding how work flows through the project, which tasks depend on others, and where bottlenecks may occur. This is especially useful at the start of execution to ensure that major construction activities are coordinated and that predecessors are completed before successors begin. A milestone chart (A) shows key dates but not detailed task relationships. The schedule management plan (B) explains how the schedule will be developed and controlled, but it is not a dependency map. The statement of work (C) describes what is to be delivered and contractual expectations, not the sequencing logic. Reviewing a network-based artifact helps the team validate sequencing assumptions, confirm handoffs between phases/areas, and focus attention on tasks that influence overall progress. This improves execution readiness and reduces the risk of misaligned work sequencing causing rework or delays.
