Earliest starting time (EST)

Earliest time activity can start after prior activities complete

Latest starting time (LST)

Latest time activity can start without delaying project

Forward scanning calculates

Earliest starting times (EST)

Backward scanning calculates

Latest starting times (LST)

EST for activities starting the project

EST=0\text{EST} = 0

Multiple predecessors: choose which EST?

Largest EST value

Multiple successors: choose which LST?

Smallest LST value

Formula for EST of activity

EST of predecessor+duration of predecessor\text{EST of predecessor} + \text{duration of predecessor}

Formula for LST of activity

LST of successor−duration of activity\text{LST of successor} - \text{duration of activity}

EST at finish vertex represents

Minimum completion time for entire project
