Path Divergence

A dependency pattern where one scheduled activity branches into multiple subsequent activities, meaning it has more than one successor.

Key Points

  • Represents branching in a network diagram: one activity leads to several successors.
  • Creates parallel work streams that can increase coordination needs, resource demand, and risk.
  • Successor links may be FS, SS, FF, or SF and can include leads or lags.
  • Can influence float distribution and which branch becomes part of the critical path.

Example

After "Requirements sign-off," the project starts "Solution design," "Test planning," and "Procurement setup" as separate successor activities running in parallel.

PMP Example Question

Which term describes the situation where completing one activity initiates three new activities in the schedule network?

  1. Path Convergence
  2. Path Divergence
  3. Fast Tracking
  4. Lead

Correct Answer: B - One activity branching to multiple successors

Explanation: Path divergence occurs when a single activity has more than one successor. Convergence is the opposite (many predecessors into one). Fast tracking overlaps phases, and a lead shifts timing on a dependency.

ICS/OT Cybersecurity Fundamentals — Security Built for Industrial Systems

Industrial control systems cannot be secured like ordinary IT. A forced reboot, aggressive scan, or incompatible patch can interrupt production and create real safety consequences. Effective OT security begins with understanding the systems, constraints, and risks unique to industrial environments.

This course gives IT professionals, engineers, operators, and security practitioners a practical foundation in ICS threats, zone and conduit design, risk assessment, passive asset visibility, and vendor evaluation. You will learn how IEC 62443, NIST CSF, and MITRE ATT&CK for ICS apply where availability and safety come first.

Eight reconstructed incidents—including Stuxnet, Triton, Ukraine 2015, Colonial Pipeline, and PIPEDREAM—show how attackers move through OT environments, what they target, and which defenses could have changed the outcome.

Watch the course preview, then build the vocabulary, frameworks, and judgment needed to take credible first steps in ICS/OT cybersecurity.
