4th week - Flashcards
Scope of the project
Provides focus and emphasis on the end item of a project
Stablishing priorities allow manager perform Trade-off decisions
structure
Use of the structure provide a powerful framework that identifies:
deviation from plan
responsibility
Spot areas for improved performance
WBS
will serve as the data base for developing the project network
establishes the timing of work, people, equipment and costs
Networking diagram
Good for scheduling
AOA — activity on Arrow (disregard) not practical use
AON—– Activity on Node
Draw an elemental task
Path—A sequence of activities connecting from one node to another
Critical path—longest path that connect start to finish task of the project.
Measure the lenght, each path has a duration..(days or weeks).
The lenght of the project is the same as the lengh of critical path.
the minimun duration to complete the project is the lenght of critical path
how to complete a network diagram
Forward pass
By completing the forward pass
Determine the duration of the project
Another way to find the critical path is to follow the path where the tasks have 0 slack
A task with slack 0 is critical
Backward pass
If we have a tie
- Forward the biggest number
- Backward the smallest number
