Activity Definition
An activity or task is an element of work normally found on the
WBS that has an expected duration, a cost, and resource
requirements.
A Project is divided into set of manageable activities
Activity Sequencing
Involves reviewing activities and determining dependencies.
A dependency or relationship relates to the sequencing of project
activities or tasks.
You must determine dependencies in order to use critical path analysis.
Dependencies Types
PDM includes four types of dependencies or logical relationships:
Finish-to-start (FS). The initiation of the successor activity depends upon the
completion of the predecessor activity.
Finish-to-finish (FF). The completion of the successor activity depends upon the
completion of the predecessor activity.
Start-to-start (SS). The initiation of the successor activity depends upon the initiation
of the predecessor activity.
Start-to-finish (SF). The completion of the successor activity depends upon the
initiation of the predecessor activity.
Network Diagrams
Network diagrams are the preferred technique for showing
activity sequencing.
A network diagram is a schematic display of the logical
relationships among, or sequencing of, project activities.
Two main formats are the arrow and precedence
diagramming methods.

Schedule Development
Uses results of the other time management processes to determine the start and
end dates of the project.
Ultimate goal is to create a realistic project schedule that provides a basis for
monitoring project progress for the time dimension of the project.
Important tools and techniques include Gantt charts, critical path analysis, critical
chain scheduling, and PERT analysis.
Schedule Development
Part II
Primavera Practice Project
Why Software?
To estimate projects completion time
To estimate projects budget
To find out the critical path and activities
To link resources and activities (who is going to perform what?)
To monitor the projects progress
To develop a sequence of activities in an order
To break a single task into sub tasks.
Oracles Primavera P6
Primavera P6 is the high performance project management
software, designed to handle large scale highly sophisticated
and multifaceted projects.
It can be used to organize projects up to 100,000 activities with
unlimited resources and target plans.
Installation
Installation can be tedious
Install the following versions for practice
P 6.1
P 6 ( V 7.0)

How to Start..
Logging In
Environment

Go to activities mode

Setting up columns
You can hide columns which you dont need at this time
Creating a calendar
Three types

Applying relationships
Default relationship is FS
Select all activities using SHIFT + DOWN ARROW
Applying relationships
Dont press it twice
If you dont see the links on Gantt chart Press
Applying relationships
Now you can see links but without any calculation (you cannot
see waterfall)
This is because by default calculation mode in on manual
settings
Change calculations mode to Automatic

Resource Leveling
Resource Leveling
Resource Leveling
There may be problem in resource leveling if the resource
calendar is different from activity / project calendar
In start of project add a general resource calendar and use it
during project. Project calendar will not work
Activity Types
Resource dependent & task dependent
Task dependent is default
For effort driven (in activity details)
Resource curves
S-Curve
Costing
Two types
Direct
Indirect (admin expenses etc)
Cost Accounts
Tracking
Milestone
Update progress
Important point
Data date will calculate what should have been done
till now.
Once new data date selected , you cant go back to
any previous date
Update progress
