Work Breakdown Structure (WBS)
The project manager breaks down the project into smaller, more manageable components known as work packages. This hierarchical decomposition helps in organizing and understanding the scope of the project
Task Identification and Sequencing
Tasks are identified based on the WBS, and their dependencies are determined. The sequencing of tasks involves establishing the order in which they need to be completed, considering both mandatory and discretionary dependencies
Duration Estimation
The time required to complete each task is estimated. This estimation is influenced by factors such as resource availability, skill levels, and potential risks
Resource Allocation
Once tasks and durations are determined, resources (human, financial, equipment, etc.) are allocated to each task. Resource leveling is performed to ensure that resources are utilized efficiently and without overallocation
Critical Path Analysis
The critical path is the longest sequence of dependent tasks that must be completed on time to ensure the project's overall success. Activities on the critical path have zero slack or float, meaning any delay in these tasks will directly impact the project's timeline
Schedule Development
The schedule is created based on the information gathered from the WBS, task sequencing, duration estimates, and resource allocation. This schedule provides a timeline for the entire project, outlining when each task is expected to start and finish
Schedule Monitoring and Control
Throughout the project, the schedule is regularly monitored to track progress and identify any deviations from the planned timeline. Adjustments may be made to accommodate changes, delays, or unexpected issues, and the impact on the overall schedule is assessed
Gantt Charts
Once tasks and durations are determined, resources (human, financial, equipment, etc.) are allocated to each task. Resource leveling is performed to ensure that resources are utilized efficiently and without overallocation
