5. Example of a Hammock Activity:
As scheduled dates in other tasks change in the
network diagram, the duration and start and/or
finish dates of the hammock task will change as
well.
• Three tasks A, B, and C.
• Task B must start on some date from task A
(date A)
• Task B must finish on some date from task C
(date C).

6. Example of a Hammock Activity:
• In this case, Task B can be done between the
time it takes to do task A and Task C.
• If Task A is preponed, then there is much larger
time to do Task B.
• If task C is delayed (takes longer to complete),
that means that you also get more time to do
task B.
• Thus Task B is hanging between the start of
Task A and end of Task C.
