  1. Project Planning

  2. Project • Group of Activities • Beginning, Middle, End • Well-Defined End Result

  3. Projects Example

  4. Examples of Projects • Construction • Research and Development • Design of New Product or Process • Space Shuttle • Wedding • Can You Think of Projects? • Can You Think of Non-Projects?

  5. Project Life Cycle

  6. Project Layout Layout is Oriented Around Project

  7. Growth in Project Management • Decline of Repetitive Manufacturing in U.S. • Growth of U.S. Service & Project Oriented Industries • Lack of Foreign Competition in Defense, Construction • Need to Rebuild U.S. Infrastructure • Greater Demand for New Product Introduction • Proliferation of Project Management Software (Over 100 Kinds - $20 to $8000) • Project Management Institute (PMI)

  8. Growth in Project Management Growing Demand for Complex Goods, Services And Exponential Explosion of Human Knowledge Results in Larger and Larger Projects. This Creates Need for Sophisticated Management System

  9. Project Planning Consists of: • Purpose • Objectives • Overview and General Approach • Schedules (PERT/CPM) • Resources • Personnel • Risk Management Plans • Evaluation and Control (Feedback)

  10. Planning and Managing Risk • Risk Management Planning – Form Team • Risk Identification – Delphi Method • Qualitative Risk Analysis – Subjective Likelihood • Quantitative Risk Analysis – Use Probabilities • Risk Response Planning – Avoid, Mitigate, Accept, Control • Risk Monitoring and Control • Risk Management Register

  11. Initial Project Planning:Draw System Boundaries A System Consists of the Following: • Mission and Goals - Objectives - Performance - Effectiveness - Cost • Environment • Resources • Subsystems

  12. In Project Planning Activities Must be Identified Activities are Groups of Work Elements or Tasks with: • Similar Technology & Groups of Personnel • Single Duration of Time (Activity Completion is Event) • Definite Beginning & End

  13. List of Activities Can Be Developed with: • “Gozinto” Chart • Bill of Materials • Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) Basically a “Bill of Work Units”

  14. Work Breakdown Structure (WBS)

  15. WBS Information For Each Work Element (Activity) We Can Record: • Work Statement (Input/Output) • Vendors, Contacts, Subcontractors • End Item Specifications • Cost Accounting Numbers & Costs (ABC) • Resource Needs • Probability • Personnel (Linear Responsibility Chart, Trend) • Times (Scheduling, PERT/CPM, Gantt Charts) • Sequence Requirements

  16. Activity Analysis:Example One Activity Description Follows Days A Define Problem --- 3 B Lease Computer --- 5 C Obtain Data A, B 4 D Determine Alternatives A, B 1 E Feasible Alternatives D 1 F Evaluation & Modeling C, E 5 G Find Best Alternative F 1 H Implementation G 3

  17. Activity Analysis:Example Two Activity Description Follows Days X --------------- --- 1 Y --------------- --- 2 Z --------------- --- 3 A --------------- X, Y 1 B --------------- X, Y, Z 2 Draw Activity-On-Node (AON or CPM) Diagram. Draw Activity-On-Arrow (AOA or PERT) Diagram.

  18. Activity Analysis:Example Three Activity Description Follows a Plan Survey --- b Hire Personnel a c Design Questionnaire a d Train Personnel b,c e Select Households c f Print Questionnaire c g Conduct Survey d,e,f h Analyze Results g Draw Activity-On-Node (AON or CPM) Diagram. Draw Activity-On-Arrow (AOA or PERT) Diagram.
