Coefficient of Network Complexity

The degree of complexity of a critical path network may be classified by calculating a Coefficient of Network Complexity. It is defined as the quotient of activities squared divided by events or preceding work items squared divided by work items. Three distinct contributions are offered. First, the CNC may serve as an indicator of the attention spent in planning the project. Second, the CNC may be used to derive a predictor of network computer processing time. Third, the CNC value suggests the appropriate processing scheme.
