Effortlessly communicate complex project dependencies with our Visualize screen under the Roadmap section. Gain a high-level overview of your WBS and their interconnections. This video demonstrates how to showcase the relationship between design and construction phases. Easily export visualizations, such as animated PNGs, to share with executive managers. Make informed decisions by visualizing and simplifying your project’s dependencies with our powerful visualization tools.
Summary:
Nodes & Links is a versatile visual tool that facilitates a comprehensive understanding of the relationships between project activities, including their predecessors, successors, and the critical paths. Additionally, it enables the visualization of links between two Work Breakdown Structures (WBSs), providing a holistic view of project management. Here is a summary of how Nodes & Links accomplishes these tasks:
Visualizing WBS Links:
Nodes & Links goes beyond individual project activities. It allows you to visually depict the links and relationships between two separate Work Breakdown Structures (WBSs). This feature is invaluable when managing complex projects with multiple interconnected components or subprojects.
Activity Relationships:
Nodes & Links allows users to create a visual representation of project activities and their interconnections. You can easily identify which activities depend on others (successors) and those that must be completed before others start (predecessors). This insight helps project managers and teams plan and schedule tasks effectively.
Path Analysis:
Once the activity is selected, Nodes & Links instantly performs a path analysis. It identifies and highlights the sequence of activities, including both predecessors (tasks that must be completed before the chosen activity) and successors (tasks that follow the chosen activity). Understanding the path to the finish milestone aids in resource allocation. Project managers can allocate resources more effectively to activities that directly impact the critical path, ensuring that the project stays on track.
In conclusion, Nodes & Links offers a powerful and intuitive solution for understanding the successors, predecessors, and interconnections of project activities. Moreover, its ability to visualize links between two WBSs provides a comprehensive view of complex projects. By leveraging this visual tool, project managers can optimize project planning, execution, and monitoring, ultimately leading to more successful project outcomes.
00:00 You can see we are on our Visualize screen under road map and here you have a high level overview of your different WPS and how they are linked to each other. So if you want to go to your executive managers and want to show a simple visualization of for example how design and construction are linked into each other you can use this page and then export this picture as you can see you have different options what you can do with the WPSS for an expand clause hide or move so as i said before i only want to show the links between design and construction.
00:38 Because i know that design is depending on constructions so what i will do is i will hideaway all the other WPS so i simply click on hide WPS click on DWPS and then simply close them you see it obviously as we know that design is depending on design so design has to finish in order to construction has to start but then i want to see how they’re actually linked to each other so i simply go on expand and click on design and you can see that these different design levels are all working going into construction and this is a simple way of showing.
01:28 Your executive how design is feeding into construction you can export this file simply by clicking here and your export APNG to your computer and you can share this.
00:55 It is a new version and then you track and drop your update and you hit “create.” Then you will see after a couple of minutes this home screen with your baseline and your uploaded version and this is how you update and upload a project. You can also invite here on the bottom left new people to this project. You can delete this project as well here and add project version project details.
Explore the depth of your project network effortlessly with our Visualize screen’s Connections feature. Uncover insights into activity relationships and dependencies. The intuitive layout options, including polar and depolar layouts, help you visualize your project network dynamically. Easily navigate through activity details, successors, and predecessors. Use filters to focus on specific date ranges or criteria. Gain a clear understanding of your project’s activity network and relationships, empowering smarter project management decisions.

00:01 One way of understanding your network of activities within your project is if you use our visualize screen and go to connections. Here you can see three different columns. The first column gives you the activity photos so you can filter your activities by started active task duration and duration start. In the middle, you have different layouts. One is the polar layout. You have your start of the project in the middle and then your plan completion towards the edge of your circle. But if you want to go and have a different layout, you can also use the first
00:41 layout where towards the center is your plan completion. But you also can easily see your isolated networks within this layout. So if you go back to the depolar layout and want to understand what leads to my plan completion, you can see here you have activity details. You have two successors and four deprived predecessors. But you can easily choose another activity and you see here on the bottom right the neighbour node neighbourhoods and so you can make it bigger and simpler see what leads to your activities and what are the neighbours of
01:30 your activity. So this is an easy way to understand how many activities do you have in your project, how many relationships are in between it, what are the neighbourhoods for it, how many successors or predecessors do I have for my activities, but as I said you can also just choose OK with a filter, I only want to have it in a certain range of start date this is an easily visualization of each neighbourhood and understanding the network of your activities.
Unlock the power of understanding your project’s activity flow with our intuitive visualization tools. In this video, learn how to effortlessly navigate through your activities, identify predecessors and successors, and comprehend the network leading to your project’s completion. Easily filter and search for specific activities, zoom in for a detailed view, and export the visualization for comprehensive project insights. Simplify your project management with our visual representation of activity dependencies, free float analysis, and a seamless overview of your project network.

00:00 The predecessors are coming after your activity until the finish date is. If you go to a shuttle and activities and you see here a list of all your activities which you have in your project, you can do other stuff with it. You can see how many activities you have been planned in the next week three weeks you can filter them and search for them in WPS talk show activity codes but for a simple way to just understand OK my activity of interest is CN fifty ninety so I don’t want to understand first of all how many free flow is between
00:43 the predecessor and how many activities are coming after these activities and my finish date you can see see here an overview over it and you can simply zoom in and understand the whole network of your activities down to the last one which is then contract completion or plan completion. To have more in force of this you can simply click here with this one you would jump to the respective activity you just clicked on as you can see here and with this here you can see the nodes and networks which are leading to your activities so
01:40 here you understand what activities are coming after your interest activities to the completion date how do I link together what nodes are in between it and everything you want to know about your project by a simple visualization and it’s quite easy you can also download this you have your free float in between it and everything you want it.
