ITM750_Chap06_Time_Management

Defined by the project team, for example good practices, soft logic should use with care because they may limit scheduling options

Relationship between project and non project tasks. You need hardware even if it is not part of your project scope to install new software.

Two or more activities follow a single node

Two or more acitivities have the same single node

You cannot start activity B before activity A is finished

You cannot start activity B before activity A is started

You cannot finish activity B before activity A is finished

You cannot finish activity B before activity A is started

Hierarchical structure that identifies the project?s resources by category and type.

Number of workdays or work hours required to complete task.

Time worked on an activity plus elapsed time. F.E. working time is 1 hour but you have to wait 2 hours until you have additional information ? so it is 3 hours

Includes a optimistic, most likely and pessimistic estimate. It is required for performing PERT estimates.

The planed schedule dates

Approved planed schedule

Network diagramming technique used to predict total project duration

Series of activities that determine the earliest time the project can be completed.

Time an activity can be delayed without an delay for the project end.

Time an activity can be delayed without an delay for the immediately following activity

Is the earliest possible time to start an activity based on project network logic

Is the earliest possible time to finish an activity based on project network logic

Determines the early start and early finish dates for each activity

Determines the late start and late finish dates for each activity

Latest date at which an activity can be started without a delay the for project end

Aktivitten mglichst verkrzen z.b. durch mehr Ressourcen um Zeit zu sparen

Doing activities in parallel that you would normally do in sequence

Scheduling considers limited resources. It removes buggers from individual tasks and creates a project buffer

One resource works on more than one task at a time, which increase avg. time

A time buffer for the hole project

When something go wrong, it will.

Additional buffer for the critical chain before they proceed on non-critical-path

Work expands to file the time allowed

Duration estimates based on different guesses instead of a specific one

Duration based on (optimistic time + 4 * most likely time + pessimistic time) / 6
