Schedule management- Knowledge area Flashcards
Schedule mgmt definition
Develops and controls the schedule baseline for the project
Precision vs accuracy
Precision in schedule ( unit factor for time in project mgmt)- repeat the same value over and over again. but it may not be accurate. A- Accurate- provide a level of accuracy.
Milestone schedule

AON
Activity on Node
Mandatory dependencies
also called “hard logic”. A has to come before B
Discretionary dependencies
u have a choice. also called “preferential or soft logic”
4 types of dependencies
FS-Finish of activity A determines THE START OF ACTIVITY B( most common)
SS-Start A to start A
FF-finishA to finish B
SF- start of activity A determines when ACTIVITY b NEEDS TO BE COMPLETED
Lead
u start sooner
Lag
u start later
RBS
Resource breakdown structure-
Analogous estimate- (TIP- Any estimate will have a basis)
called “talk down” estimate ( based on neighbor building tree house). least accurate of all accuracies.
Parametric estimate
asked my neighbor about tree housers. then u ask about square footage. so based on parameters.
Definitive estimate
most accurate. called “bottom up” estimate. plus or minus 5%.
3 point estimate
if u want more accuracy- look at screenshot
PERT estimate

Project float
how much float do i have before i impact the project
Free Float
relationship between two activities
Monte Carlo analysis
pg 253.simulation of a schedule. its an automated what -if!
Agile release planning
pg 255.
Resource leveling
PMBOK pg 211- no resource should be over booked.protects resources but extends critical path.
Resource smoothing
PMBOK pg 211- protects critical path. u might need to borrow a resource not in the critical path.
Burndown chart
pg 226. PMBOK-helps to see if u r on track or not in schedule
