Early start calculation: Add 1 to early finish or not?

Submitted by Ahmad1111 on Tue, 05/07/2013 - 23:15

In some sources, early start equals early finish of the previous activity. In other sources, early start is early finish + 1 of previous activity. I know it is a technicality of how you do your project, but which way is correct in the PMP exam? I made mistakes between Rita and Headfirst practice questions because each uses a different method.

Thanks guys.

 For PMP, do not add or sutract 1. Start with 0

Thanks for the information. It was also a doubt for me.... however it's explained clearly by following article

Whatever material available for CPM in Rita is sufficient for exam. For better understanding you can watch

videos explaining CPM on You Tube. I recently cleared PMP and the logic given in Rita's worked for me.
