Project Management
Project Schedule
To develop a schedule for a project, we will use the concept of a project network, which shows work activities taken from the work breakdown structure and organized according to the logical flow in time and relationships governing when the work will be performed.
Combining this network of work activities with estimates of the time duration for performing each of the activities, create a schedule for the project work.
When planning a project, one of the key steps is to develop a work breakdown structure for the project. This lets the project team know all the steps necessary to complete the project. Each activity can be broken down into a time estimate and then these can be compiled in an overall project schedule. Some of the activities can be completed at the same time while others will have to be finished before the next activity can begin. For example, in a construction...
Once the relationships are worked out, the critical path of activities can be identified. These are the activities that can change the project's schedule if the activity is delayed.
c. What types of information can we learn about the project by reviewing the project schedule and all the information used to generate it?
By documenting the lessons learned at the end of the project, the project team can share this information with other stakeholders. This allows knowledge to be transferred that can make future projects easier. There are many ways to transfer knowledge but documenting the lessons learned in the project, what went right, what went wrong, and why, allows people to avoid making the same mistakes that have already been made in…
