Traditional approach
The traditional approach assumes that the project scope and goals will remain constant till pro
completion. Obviously, a project manager plans and identifies project resources based on this
assumption. The traditional approach lays down the following project phases:
• Project initiation
• Project planning and design
• Project monitoring and control
• Project execution
• Project completion
The purpose of coding in CPM project schedule is: To easily identify the activities with code number The
coding helps to identify the grouping of activities for same department: To determine critical activities
requiring attention so that the project can be completed on time.
The project team creates the project Work Breakdown Structure by identifying the major functional
deliverables and subdividing those deliverables into smaller systems and sub-deliverables, with a WBS,
you begin with the desired outcome or product, which you then break down or decompose into the
smaller deliverables or tasks needed to create it, a well-thought-out WBS aids in scheduling, estimating
costs, and determining risk.
Cost Code / Cost Breakdwon Structure is commonly include elements or extensions that identify the
specific project, phase of project and type of cost account, such as labor, equipment or materials. Cost
codes also include standard extensions that identify specific reporting needs, such as discipline or sub-
discipline involved with the work package, material codes, accounting codes, purchase orders etc, for
specific phases or work packages.
