On that map is on which most times the total value of a proposal is calculated, in a spreadsheet or on specialized software.
Production of Movies uses that sort of tools. I don´t know if they still use CPA.
There are nice books on software engineering that cover such process in an informal way.
Adequate I think for general readers who do not need to know a specific programming language.
There is a method called Critical Path Method.
