What is Project management ?
Project management is a methodical approach to planning and guiding project
processes from start to finish. According to the Project Management Institute, the
processes are guided through five stages: initiation, planning, executing,
controlling, and closing. Project management can be applied to almost any type of
project and is widely used to control the complex processes of software
development projects.

 What is a Project?
A project is a (temporary) sequence of unique,
complex, and connected activities that have one goal or
purpose and that must be completed by a specific time
within budget, and according to specification.

A Project may contain a series of activities designed to

achieve a specific outcome with a set of budget and
time-scale
 Scheduling
A schedule is the conversion of a project action
plan into an operating timetable
It serves as the basis for monitoring and
controlling project activity
work changes daily, so this is essential
With the plan and budget, it is the major tool
for the management of projects
most scheduling is at the WBS level (tasks), not the
work package level
only the most critical work packages may be shown
on schedule
 Network Scheduling Techniques
PERT was developed in 1958 for the Polaris
missile/submarine project
The Critical Path Method (CPM) was developed by
DuPont during the same time period
Initially, CPM and PERT were two different
approaches
CPM used deterministic time estimates and allowed project crunching
PERT used probabilistic time estimates
Microsoft Project (and others) have blended CPM
and PERT into one approach
 Terminology
Activity - A specific task or set of tasks that
are required by the project, use up
resources, and take time to complete
Event - The result of completing one or
more activities. An identifiable end state
occurring at a particular time. Events use
no resources.
Network - The combination of all activities
and events that define a project
Drawn left-to-right
Connections represent predecessors
 Terminology Continued

Path - A series of connected activities

Critical - An activity, event, or path which, if
delayed, will delay the completion of the
project
Critical Path - The path through the project
where, if any activity is delayed, the project
is delayed
There is always a critical path
There can be more than one critical path
 Terminology Continued

Sequential Activities - One activity must be

completed before the next one can begin
Parallel Activities - The activities can take place at
the same time
Immediate Predecessor an activity that must be
completed before a particular activity can begin
An activity can be in any of these conditions:
It may have a successor(s) but no predecessor(s) -
starts a network
It may have a predecessor(s) but no successor(s) -
ends a network
It may have both predecessor(s) and successor(s)
- in the middle of a network

Developed by Henry L. Gantt in 1917

Shows planned and actual progress
Easy-to-read method to show current status
 Gantt Charts: Advantages and
Disadvantages
Easily understood
Provide a picture of the current state of a
project

Difficult to follow with complex projects

Critical Path Method (CPM)

Critical path method is a project modeling technique

used by project planners worldwide for developing the
project schedule in types of projects; e.g. IT, research,
construction, etc.
Benefits of the Critical Path Method

It shows the graphical view of the project.

It discovers and makes dependencies visible.
It helps in project planning, scheduling, and controlling.
It helps in contingency planning.
It shows the critical path, and identifies critical activities
requiring special attention.
It helps you assign the float to activities and flexibility to
float activities.
It shows you where you need to take action to bring project
back on track.
