Project Management Chapter 13 OPS 370
Project Management • Five Phases • Initiation • Planning • Execution • Control • Closure
Project Planning A. Creation of a Number of Planning Documents: Project Plan Activities, Interdependencies, Time Estimates Resource Plan What Resources Are Required Financial Plan Estimated Costs Quality Plans Quality Targets, Control and Improvement Techniques Communications Plan Updates to Stakeholders Risk Plan Assessment of Risks and Uncertainties
Project Management Tools and Techniques Project Management has a Number of Tools Available: Precedence Relationship and Time Estimates Network Diagram Critical Path Method (CPM) Cost and Time Tradeoff Analysis Program Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT)
Precedence Relationships and Time Estimates A. Precedence Relationship Analysis: a. Identification of Relationships and Sequences of Activities Within a Project B. Take Great Care to Estimate the Completion Time for Each Activity. C. Project Schedule, Cost, and Resource Requirements Depend on the Precedence Relationships and Time Estimates
Cables By Us is bringing a new product on line to be manufactured in their current facility in some existing space. The owners have identified 11 activities and their precedence relationships. Develop an AON for the project.

Reducing the Time of a Project (crashing) Crash costs are assumed to be linear …
Crashing Example: Suppose the Cables By Us project manager wants to reduce the new product project from 41 to 36 weeks.
PERT • A. Program Evaluation and Review Technique: Addresses the Impact of Uncertainties in Activity Time Estimates on the Duration of the Entire Project • B. Different Estimates for Activity Times are Developed:
Example • 1. Longest Path (Using Expected Activity Times) • A. BCDFGK Length of 36.3 (Variance of 6.67) • B. Standard Deviation = Sqrt(6.67) = 2.58 • 2. Can Now Answer Questions
Example • 1. Continued • A. With 95% Probability, What Is the Date the Project Can Be Expected to Be Completed?
