    thanks for the tutorial, It's easier to be understood than what I've been taught in my class

    PMBOK 6's example (Figure 6-16) has task A's ES on day 1, not zero. Only the non-task "Start" gets a zero, but they note it as an "..accepted convention" - Great series. I like your 6 box tasks (who writes out slack for each task?)

    Yeah I know they do it differently than I do. Both are acceptable conventions, and will reveal the same values for float/slack, project duration, etc. I just learned originally to start with a 0 and that’s why it carried through in my tutorials. The reason I start with a 0 actually comes from the way I draw Gantt charts, as you can see in this video: www.engineer4free.com/4/how-to-draw-a-gantt-chart . Like other mathematical fields, I label the origin of my axis with a 0, not a 1, and that’s why 0 represents the beginning of the first day for the way I do things. If you’re studying for a PMI cert, just learn and use their method. You can still use my tutorials, but just beware that ES, EF, LS, LF values will just be off by one, but otherwise all the logic is the same!

    whose great idea was the arrow diagram. i thought the point of engineering was to find the best solution. activity on node is so much cleaner and easier. arrow is so pointless. who would really waste their time doing that and using forward and backward path to get CP in such a messy manner.

    is there a chance that the first activity's latest start is not zero? or there is something wrong in the computation if its not zero?

    That indicates that you have made an error somewhere along the way. Unless there are more than one initial activities, and one of them is not on the critical path, in that case the ES could be non zero for the non critical initial activity

    No one can change my mind from using PDM for getting critical path.

    That project has two terminal (final) activities. The project duration is 6 days. Use 6 as the LF for both terminal activities and then move into the backwards pass. You will end back at 0 for LS of A. Just go slow, and follow the steps laid out in this video: kzread.info/dash/bejne/ZqN4rq-sYZSrqNY.htmlsi=1gwlNeMFDTTToGIe
