PROCUREMENT
STAKEHOLDER
Project scheduling provides a detailed plan that
represents how and when the project will deliver
the products, services, and results defined in the
project scope and serves as a tool for
communication, managing stakeholders’
expectations, and as a basis for performance
reporting.
PLAN SCHEDULE MANAGEMENT
the process of establishing the policies, procedures, and
documentation for planning, developing, managing, executing,
and controlling the project schedule
DEFINE ACTIVITIES
the process of identifying and documenting the specific actions to
be performed to produce the project deliverables
ACTIVITY LIST is a list of all schedule activities

ACTIVITY ATTRIBUTES contain the description of

the activities

MILESTONE LIST contains the schedule

milestones which are points in time
SEQUENCE ACTIVITIES
the process of identifying and documenting relationships
among the project activities

 TYPES OF DEPENDENCIES

LEAD is the time by which the LAG is the waiting time in
successor activity can be between activities
advanced
ESTIMATE ACTIVITY DURATIONS

the process of estimating

the number of work
periods needed to
complete individual
activities with estimated
resources
 ESTIMATION METHODS

3 POINT ESTIMATION ANALOGOUS PARAMETRIC

• Expected Activity • a rough estimation • uses a unit for

Duration (EAD) • also called top estimation
• calculated based down approach • historical data
on 3 values: • based on a similar • repetitive work
Optimistic (O) example • learning curve
Most Likely (ML) • fast and cheap
Pessimistic (P) • historical data
TRIANGULAR DISTRIBUTION

EAD=(O+ML+P)/3

BETA DISTRIBUTION (PERT Technique)

EAD=(O+4ML+P)/6
DEVELOP SCHEDULE

the process of analyzing

activity sequences,
durations, resource
requirements, and schedule
constraints to create a
schedule model for project
execution and monitoring
and controlling
CRITICAL PATH

the LONGEST PATH which represents the

SHORTEST TIME to complete the project

 FLOAT (SLACK)
the time by which an activity can be delayed
without delaying the project
CONTROL SCHEDULE

the process of monitoring the

status of the project to update
the project schedule and
managing changes to the
schedule baseline
