Critically appraise the role and scope of scientifically based methods in themanagement of large complete project.Introduction

Project management is the discipline of planning, organize, and managing resource to bring out the successful completion of specific goals and objective on one-time effortsuch as, contract a building or other project activities that need to use a scientifically based method implementations.This project management basically include the developing project plan, defining projectgoals and objective, specifying task or how goals will be archive, know the resource thatwill be used and need, and associating the budget and determine the time duration for the project to be completed. It also includes implementing the project plan, along withcareful controls to stay on the "critical path", that is, to ensure the plan is being managedaccording to plan. (Free Management Library)A scientifically based method is one of the methods that had use to mange the largecomplete project. There are some scientifically methods that had been used in projectmanagement to ensure the project are directly based on the plan to be completed. Tomanage the large complete project, the scientifically based method in the projectmanagement also had been used in terms to make sure the project had been completeaccording to the plan. The method are such as, Gantt chart, Activity On Arrow (AOA),1

Activity On Node (AON), Program evaluation and review technique (PERT), resourceleveling, and Project time reduction and cost minimization. This scientifically methodwas useful to help the manager to ensure the objective and goals by knowing the role of each of these methods, and know what will be the advantage and disadvantage of each of the scientifically method, in terms of that, it’s also will help the project manager to getmore information that will be need to used in completing the project.

Gantt chart

Gantt chart is an important tool that will help the manager to plan and manage thecomplex project. Where it’s basically help the project manager to work out the order of task which it should be done first and allows to identify the resource that be needed tocomplete the project.In Gantt chart, it will be provide the graphical illustration of a schedule that helps to plan,coordinate and track specific task in a project. Where it display task as time bars positioned along a horizontal time scale and one that indicates to project milestones withthe help of indicators.There are several advantage to the use of Gantt chart, the Gantt chart may contains agreat deal of information, they are easily understood, while it do require frequentupdating, easy to maintain as long as task requirements are not change or major alterations of the schedule are not made. Other than that it also provide a clear picture of 2

the current state of a project and usually give the earliest completion date on the projectand also provide a schedule of earliest possible start and finish time of activities anduseful for monitoring its progress. Where, by doing the Gantt chart the project manager can know which activity should be done first and what will be the resource should beused in the activity or can immediately see what should have been achieved at a particular point in time, and can therefore take remedial action to bring the project back on course if needed. This can be essential for the successful and profitableimplementation of the large scale project.The disadvantage on this scientifically method was, the Gantt chart only give the earliestor latest possible schedule, where it does not show whatever the project is behind theschedule and does not clarify the effect of delays in one activity on the start of another activity, thus the project completion time.

Activity on Arrow (AOA) and Activity on Node (AON)

Activity on arrow (AOA) was know as arrow-diagram, deploys arcs for tow distinct purpose. That is, the arcs of the project network represent both the activities and the precedence relations between activities. This AOA are more complicated to draw, its mustavoid the activity crossover and must used the dummy activities to avoid crossover among the activity level.Activity on node (AON) one of two alternative conventions for the visual representationof network diagrams, used to plan and analysis project using the rectangles (nodes) to3
