• I MBTI, judgeet/perceptio diesio cocers people’s attitude toards deadlies.
Judgement more rigid, perceptive more flexible.
• Planning schedule management – determining policies/procedures/documentation which
will be used for planning, executing controlling project schedule. Developing schedule
management plan. This includes:
o Project schedule model development
o Scheduling methodology
o Levels of accuracy/units of measure
o Control thresholds
o Rules of performance measurement
o Reporting formats
o Process descriptions
• Specific activities must be identified that project team members/stakeholders will perform
to produce project deliverables.
• Then, sequencing activities – involves identifying and documenting relationships between
project activities.
• Also, estimating activity resources – how many resources the project team needs.
• Estimating activity durations – number of work periods which are needed to complete
individual activities.
• Finally, developing schedule and then controlling said schedule.
• All of the above come under planning stage except controlling.
• Activity/task – element of work found on WBS which has an expected duration, cost,
resources.
• Rollig ae plaig – progressive elaboration of WBS activities.
• Activity list – tabulation of activities to be included on project schedule. Includes:
o Activity name
o Activity identifier/number
o Brief description of activity
• Three types of dependencies –
o Mandatory – inherent on nature of work being performed
o Discretionary – defined by project team
o External – involve relationships between project and non-project activities.
• Two main formats of network diagrams:
o Arrow
o Precedence
• Arrow can only show finish-to-start dependencies.
• Task dependency types:
o Finish-to-start
o Start-to-start
o Finish-to-finish
o Start-to-finish
• Resource breakdown structure – hierarchical structure hich idetifies project’s resources
by category and type.
• Duration includes actual amount of time worked on activity plus elapsed time, as opposed to
effort.
• Three-point estimate for activity estimates – optimistic, most likely, pessimistic
• SMART criteria for milestones:
