Work breakdown structure
a hierarchical description of a project into more and more detailed components
Gantt charts
planning charts used to schedule resources and allocate time
Programs evaluation and reveiw technique (PERT)
a project management technique that employs three time estimates for each activity
Critical path method (CPM)
a project management technique that uses only one time factor per activity
Activity-on-node (AON)
a network diagram in which nodes designate activities
Activity-on-arrow (AOA)
a network diagram in which arrows designate activities
Dummy Activity
an activity having no time that is inserted into a network to maintain the logic of the network
Critical Path analysis
a process to find the most effective sequence of activities that helps determine the projects schedule
Forward pass
a process that identifies all the early start and early finish time
Backward pass
a process that identifies all the late start and late finish times
