Yes
WBS Dictionary contains what information?
1. Description of the work pacakge 2. the person responsible 3. Contraints 4. Assumptions 5. Dues Dates 6. etc.
Schedule Management Plan can be defined as…
How schedule contingencies will be reported and assessed. How it will be planned, controlled
The key activities that are a part of project time management include:
1. Identifying the list of project activities 2. Estimating the time and resources required to complete each of the identified activities 3. Sequencing the activities to occur one after the other in a logical manner.
PDM: type of network diagram can address all four types of dependencies between the activities. What are the four types of dependencies?
1. F to S 2. F to F 3. S to S 4. Hammock
Heuristics:
Heuristic estimation is a model based on trial and error.
Parametric Estimating:
This uses a mathematical model to calculate projected times for an activity based on historical records from previous projects and other information.
Analogous Estimating:
This estimating is based on previous projects (or activities). The last 5 similar projects took 6 months, so this one should also take 6 months.
One time Estimate:
1. When estimating use only one time estimate per activity. 2. This techniques should only be used for high level estimates.
Schedule Network Analysis is a technique that generates the project schedule. This technique includes:
1. PERT 2. Critical path method 3. Schedule compression 4. What-if scenario analysis 5. Schedule compression 6. Critical chain method
PERT has three formulas, what are they?
1. Expected duration= (P+4M+O)/6 2. Standard deviation of an activity= (P-O)/6 3. Variance of an activity = [(P-O)/6]^2 4. P= Pessimistic estimate M= Most likely estimate O= Optimistic estimate
The critical path does not have slack / float
How do you calculate float?
Float= LS-ES OR Float= LF-EF
What is a summary activity that represents a group of related activities called?
Hammock
Control Account can be defined as…?
Done at a level higher than the work package. Remember, the project is broken into a WBS. The WBS is further broken down into work packages and work packages are finally broken into activities (WBS Dictionary).
