An influence line graphs for project planning show how the changes of a selected activity duration affect the project duration. The name comes from the structural analysis where influence lines show on the ordinates of a graph the variation of the magnitude of, e.g., the bending moment at a specific point as a unit load traverses across the structure. This paper examines the principles of project planning influence lines: it discusses how to depict the six criticality types of activities, and it also shows what kind of transitions are possible among the criticality types. The findings help the greater understanding of the effects of the activity duration changes on the project duration.
