Which 14-Point Schedule metric consists of incomplete tasks with missing predecessor and/or successor tasks?

Which 14-Point Schedule metric consists of incomplete tasks with missing predecessor and/or successor tasks?

• A. Baseline Count
• B. Logic
• C. Dependencies
• D. Critical Path

Answer: (B)

Logic focuses on how activities are tied together in the schedule. When tasks have missing predecessors or successors, the network’s sequencing isn’t defined, so the plan can’t be trusted to show realistic start/finish relationships. This metric flags those gaps, signaling that some activities aren’t properly connected to the flow of work. Without complete links, the schedule’s logic becomes unreliable, which can distort the computed start times, finish times, and even the critical path. Other metrics touch on different aspects (such as how many baseline elements exist or whether explicit dependencies are present), but the situation described—incomplete tasks with missing predecessor and/or successor relationships—directly points to problems with the schedule’s logical structure.
