Project Management: Asit Kumar Singh

This document discusses project management and key aspects of planning and scheduling projects. It defines a project as a set of interrelated activities with a start and end point to achieve unique outcomes. Good project managers are motivators, teachers, communicators, and able to organize diverse teams and activities. Proper project scope, timeline, resources and deliverables are essential. Planning includes defining work structures, networking diagrams, scheduling, and risk assessment. Scheduling sequences project phases and relates tasks coherently. Gantt charts visually depict activity relationships over time. PERT was developed for complex projects and involves identifying all activities, precedence, estimating times, and calculating critical paths and schedules. Networks are depicted as nodes and arcs.

Project

management
ASIT KUMAR SINGH
 What is project?
 An interrelated statement set of
activities that have a definite starting
and ending point and the result in a
unique outcome for a specific allocation
of resources.
 Selecting project manager
Should be good motivator,teachers,and
communicators.
Able to organize a set of disparate
activities and work with personnel from
a variety of disciplines.
Should be responsible for the whole
team.
Scope and activities
A thorough statement of project scope,

time frame, and allocated resources is


essential to managing the project
process. the scope captures the
essence of the desired project
outcomes in the form of major
deliverables, which are concrete
outcomes of the project process.
These deliverables become the focus
of management attention during the
life of the project.
Planning a project format
A key activities for any project process

is making decisions. The managers of


successful project processes specify
the format for how the team will make
them. such a format sets down
guidelines for meetings, for resolving
issues, and for communication among
team members.
Project planning and schduling
Defining the work breakdown
structure
Diagramming the network
Developing the schedule
Analyzing cost-time trade-offs, and
Accessing risks
Project schduling
 In contrast to project planning, project
scheduling is more specific. scheduling
establishes times and sequences of the various
phases of the project. In project scheduling
,the manager considers the many activities of
an overall project and the task s that must be
accomplished and relates them coherently to
one another and to the calendar.
Project scheduling
Gantt charts
 A Gantt charts is a bar chart shows the
relationship of activities overtime.
Symbols meaning
 ( start of an activity
 ] end of an activity
 H actual progress of an
 activity
 v point in time where
the
 project is now


Program evaluation and review
technique(PERT)
Development of PERT In the U.S.Navy

developed program evaluation and


review technique (PERT)for planning
and control of Polaris nuclear
submarine project. the results of using
PERT in the aplication,in which some
3000 contractors were involved. is
generally reported to have reduced by
two years the project completion time
for the Polaris project. in both
government and industry PERT is
widely used.
PERT APPLICATION
Clarify the conditions under which
PERT may be appropriately used
The project activities must all have
clear starting and ending point.
The project must not be complicated
by too many interrelated tasks.
Should be in correct sequence and
timing

Language of PERT
 The PERT language comprises simple symbols and terms. key
symbols are given for activity ,dummy activity,event,and
critical path of network. since the critical path requires the
longest time through the network, management should watch
it most closely to avoid unnecessary project de-lays.

 How does PERT work?


 clearly identify all activities in the project
 Identify the precedence requirements of activities
 Diagram the precedence requirements as a sequence of
activities
 Estimate the time each activity will take
 Calculate the critical path and other project
performance criteria, creating the schedule and plan
for subsequent control
 Reevaluate and revise as experience dictates.
