GROUP PROJECT MANAGEMENT & SCHEDULING, NETWORK ANALYSIS, ARROW DIAGRAM, AND SCHEDULING COMPUTATION Flashcards
It is the use of specific knowledge, skills, tools and techniques to deliver something of value to people
Project Management
It is a set of principles, tools and techniques that are
used to plan, execute and manage projects.
Project Management Methodology
This help project managers lead team members and
manage work while facilitating team collaboration
Project Management Methodology
What are the 3 Project Management Methodologies?
- Waterfall
- Agile
- Scrum
It is a process in which the phases of the project flow downward.
Waterfall Methodology
This model requires that you move from one project phase to another only once that phase has been successfully completed.
Waterfall model
It is a way to manage a project by breaking it up
into several phases.
Agile Methodology
It is an iterative approach that consists of delivering a project through short time cycles called sprints where
agile teams plan and execute project tasks.
Agile Project Management
It is an agile development methodology used in the
development of Software based on an iterative and incremental processes.
Scrum Process/Methodology
It is a timetable showing the forecast start and finish dates for activities or events within a project, programme or portfolio.
Project Scheduling/Schedule
Scheduling comes into project planning
and there are principally two types of
scheduling: (blank) and (blank)
Critical Path ; Critical Chain
This approach places emphasis on the activities in a project and understanding the shortest time to complete all activities in a logical order. It is a sequence of activities through a precedence network from start to finish, the sum of whose durations determines the overall duration
Critical Path
It is an activity-based scheduling technique that determines the overall duration of the identified work
based on estimates and logical dependencies
Critical Path Analysis
It is a resource-based approach to scheduling, useful when time is critical. It is derived from the critical path that protects critical chains of activities with buffers.
Critical Chain
It is a system which plans the projects by analyzing the project activities. Projects are broken down into individual tasks or activities, which are arranged in logical sequence. It is also decided that which tasks will be performed simultaneously and which other sequentially
Network Analysis
What are the 4 Network Analysis Techniques?
(1) PERT, (2) CPM, (3) PCS, (4) GERT
Project managers use what technique as a tool to help them determine how much time it’ll take to complete a project. This is an essential step toward developing an
accurate schedule.
Program Evaluation and Review Technique or PERT
This is used to determine the earliest possible starting time for each task in the project. It’ll also help a project manager determine the critical tasks and non-critical tasks. This helps when executing the project. If you’re behind schedule, you know which tasks can be skipped without impacting the integrity of the work.
Critical Path Method or CPM
This provide a meticulous approach to managing risk. By preemptively identifying risks, monitoring risk continuously, and developing contingency plans to address and mitigate issues, it becomes possible to
reduce impact on budget and schedule. It also helps prevent some risks from happening in the future.
Project Control System (PCS)
This is a network analysis technique that’s used in project management to bring probabilistic treatment
to both network logic and duration estimates. The technique was first described in 1966 by Dr. Alan B. Pritsker of Purdue University and WW Happ.
Graphical Evaluation Review Technique or GERT
In order to fulfill deadlines and make the best use of
available resources, these diagrams are used during
the planning stage of project management to arrange
the activities that are represented by the arrows.
Arrow Diagram
This diagram is also known as the Arrow Diagramming
Method (ADM), which is illustrated by arrows. This type of diagram only shows finish-to-start dependencies between activities.
Activity on Arrow or AOA
It is also known as the Precedence Diagramming Method (PDM). The activities are represented by nodes in this diagram. Arrows are used to connect the nodes to one another. The relationship between the activities is depicted by these arrows. All four forms of dependencies—finish to start, start to start, finish to finish, and start to finish is shown unlike the AoA.
Activity on Node or AON
