6.6 Control Schedule (Schedule MGMT) Flashcards
what is 6.6 control schedule?
monitoring the status of the project to update the project schedule and manage changes to the schedule baseline
what is the key benefit to 6.6 control schedule?
the schedule baseline is maintained throughout the project
when is 6.6 control schedule performed during a project?
throughout
6.6 control schedule - inputs
- project management plan (4)
- project documents (5)
- work performance data

6.6 control schedule - tools and techniques
- data analysis (6)
- critical path method

- schedule compression
what data analysis tools and techniques are relevant for 6.6 control schedule?
a. earned value analysis
b. iteration burndown chart
c. performance reviews
d. trend analysis
e. variance analysis
f. what if scenario analysis
what is earned value analysis?
schedule variance (SV) and schedule performance index (SPI) are used to assess the magnitude of variation to the original schedule baseline
what is iteration burndown chart?
- chart tracking the work remaining to be completed in the iteration backlog
- tracks the variance with respect to an ideal burndown
what are performance reviews?
measure, compare and analyze schedule performance against the schedule baseline - actual start/finish, percent complete, remaining duration for work in progress
what is trend analysis?
examines project performance over time to determine whether performance is improving or deteriorating
what is variance analysis?
looks at variance in planned vs. actual start and finish dates, planned vs. actual durations and variations in float
what is what if scenario analysis?
assess various scenarios guided by the outputs from the project risk management process to bring the schedule model into alignment with the project management plan and approved baseline
6.6 control schedule - outputs
- work performance information
- schedule forecasts
- change requests
- project management plan updates (4)
- project document updates (7)
