Timeline Analysis

 

Tasks consume time. Only tasks are shown on a timeline.

Some tasks are sequential: Erik and Steve can’t both get off the plane at the same time.

Some tasks are separate but can occur in parallel: Erik gets the food while Steve is still getting off the plane; Erik gets the Car while Steve gets the luggage.

Some tasks are parallel and the same; Erik & Steve both drive to work together in the car. The fact that they need a level of performance from the car to meet their overall system level requirement to get from touch down, to work in 2 hrs levies a requirement on Erik to get the Lamborghini. This performance requirement is not shown on the timeline, but derives from the timeline analysis.
