Management Functions and Requirement Engineering

The document discusses management functions and requirement engineering. It describes key management functions like project planning, cost estimation using COCOMO models, and project control tools including work breakdown structures, Gantt charts, and PERT charts. It also mentions team organizations and requirement engineering. Gantt charts are described as a graphical way to plan, coordinate, and track tasks over time, depicting the same information as PERT charts but also start and end dates of activities. The steps for building a Gantt chart are identified as listing tasks and durations, the time frame axis, and determining activity start and finish dates.

Gantt Charts

•Graphical Representation of a schedule


•Helps to plan, coordinate and track specific tasks in a
project
•Named after Henry Gantt who invented them in 1917
•Depicts some of the same information as on a PERT chart
•Also depicts new information

Building and Using a Gantt Chart
Steps for building a Gantt Chart
1. Identify the tasks to be scheduled
2. Determine the durations of each task
3. List each task down the vertical axis of chart
1. In general, list tasks to be performed first at the top and then
move downward as the tasks will happen
4. Use horizontal axis for the dates
5. Determine start and finish dates for activities
1. Consider which tasks must be completed or partially
completed before the next task
To use the Gantt chart to report progress:
• If the task has been completed, completely shade in the bar
corresponding to the task
• If the task has been partially completed, shade in the percentage
of the bar that represents the percentage of the task that has been
completed
• Unshaded bars represents tasks that have not been started.

duration
– E.g., activity one is scheduled from day1-day3

• Dependencies: Show dependencies between activities with
arrows
– E.g., activity 2 cannot start until activity 1 is complete
