IE 2030 Lecture 5: Project Management • The Mythical Man-Month by Brooks • Project team size or other resource constraints often limit work rate • Time requirements for activities may be uncertain • Goal of network scheduling models: complete project on time w/o excessive cost. Decide who does what, when?
IE 2030 Lecture 5: Project Management • Main goal: schedule activities and assign resources to activities. • Other goals: • allocate resources effectively to achieve main goal • keep track of an ongoing project, make adjustments
IE 2030 Lecture 5: Gantt Charts • Old, Still Used • Not as good as PERT/CPM Networks, especially for Precedence Relationships
