quality
PM methods
waterfall or agile
3rd PM method
critical path method (CPM)
CPM
calculate longest path of planned activities and determine shortest time to complete
float or slack
amount of delay on task without affecting finish date
early start and finish
earliest start date that doesn’t affect other tasks
late start and finish
latest a task can start without affecting other tasks
organizations that standardize PM
- Project Management Institute (PMI)
2. Projects IN Controlled Environments (PRINCE2)
10 management areas identified by PMI
