An actionable project network for DPM & XPP

Complex engineering projects rarely fail because a task is missing from the plan. They struggle when dependencies aren’t visible, relationships are misunderstood, or a small delay in one activity creates an unexpected impact somewhere else.

Task lists and timelines tell you what needs to be done. The BWC PERT Chart shows how the work is connected, and lets you act on it, right inside 3DEXPERIENCE.

Visualize → Understand → Act

From project data to project visibility

  • Which activities depend on others
  • Where a delay or change hits downstream work
  • Which activities can run in parallel
  • What is planned for the current week
  • How tasks and subtasks are structured
  • Where attention or action is required

Two ways to understand your project

Dependency view

“What is dependent on what?”

Follow predecessor and successor links to see how activities connect.

Task–subtask view

“How is this work organised?”

Explore the task and subtask hierarchy, and switch views as the question changes.

Task status at a glance

Clear flags on every task show where attention is needed first.

  • Delayed
  • Possible delay
  • On time
  1. 01

    Interactive network

    A connected view of predecessors, successors, parallel work and downstream impact.

  2. 02

    Choose your view

    Switch between Dependency and Task/Subtask views. Same data, different perspective.

  3. 03

    Overlay for context

    Bring extra project context into the network instead of switching screens.

  4. 04

    Quick Actions

    See something that needs attention? Act on it from the chart, in context.

  5. 05

    Weekly calendar view

    See what is planned this week for reviews, team planning and follow-up.

  6. 06

    Critical relationships

    Spot chains where one delay can ripple through later work, and focus on real risk.
