Plan schedule management: In this process, you as a project manager establish all the
procedures, policies and documentation required for managing and controlling the project time
from the starting state.
Define activities: This process identifies and project tasks and documents what you need to do
to complete project deliverables.
Sequence activities: Using the identified activities you will now have to create a list by sorting
out the activities and putting them in an order.
Estimate activity resources: in this process, we have to calculate the resources required to
complete each activity which includes equipment, human resources and supplies need to
complete the activity.
Estimate activity durations: in this step, you will calculate the time each activity will take to
finish by considering the resources allocated to it.
Develop schedule: With all the existing the data we can develop the schedule which is the most
important process of the construction.
Control schedule: This is the process where you monitor and control and update your project
schedule, making sure changes are managed appropriately.
Evm analysis: Earned value analysis (EVA) is a standard procedure for measuring the progress of the
ongoing project or to forecast the finish dates of the project considering current considerations. This
analysis can be done at any point of time during the phase of construction, so it can be used as a
snapshot at that particular point of time and can be useful in identifying lag in the work priory.
Planned value: first element in earn value analysis is planned value (pv). This is the estimated value for
an allotted work to be done. As per PMBOK pv is also referred as budgeted cost of work scheduled.
Budget at completion (BAC) is the sum of all the work to be done with current considerations and sum
of all the work done till now.
Earned value: Earned value is the total actual work done till date. This is expressed in terms of budget
assigned to that work. Ev is also called as budgeted cost of work performed.
S-Curves: A cumulative display of both cost and working hours will be shown in this s-curve. This is a
graphical representation of the elements cost and work hours. The name s-curve is derived from the
typical “S” shape of the curve, mostly the curve will be flat in the beginning and at the end it will be a
steep slope in the middle. A good graph will start slowly accelerate rapidly up to end and closes
smoothly.
Variance analysis:
Schedule variance: schedule variance analysis is a part of earned value management in which the
variance or the difference in planed work and the actual work done is calculated.
If the schedule variance is negative it means the project is behind schedule and positive represents
ahead of schedule and “0” means on schedule.
Schedule performance index (SPI): schedule performance index is the ratio of the budget for the
work completed to the budget of the work planned.
Schedule performance index (SPI) = Earned value (EV) / Planned value (PV)
By subtracting SPI from 1 it shows the project progress percentage ahead or behind the schedule or if
SPI > 1 means ahead of schedule, if SPI < 1 means behind schedule and if SPI = 1 project is on schedule.
TOOLS AND TECHNIQUES USED TO CONTROL PROJECT TIME:
Control schedule it is the process where you are monitoring the status of project activities to update any
changes and documenting and controlling any changes in the time. The main benefit of this activity is we
can recognize the changes and take corrective and preventive actions to minimize the risk caused by it.
Performance reviews
Resource optimization techniques
Leads and lags.
Forecasting: forecasting is the technique generally used to predict the final end results or progress of
the project with considering the current situations and criteria.
Estimate at completion (EAC): estimate at completion is the sum of actual cost and the difference
between budget at completion and earned value.
Estimate at completion (EAC) = Actual cost (AC) + (Budget at completion (BAC) – Earned value
(EV))
Variance at completion (VAC): variance at completion is the difference in the budget at completion
(BAC) and Estimate at completion (EAC).
Estimate to completion (ETC): Estimate to complete (ETC) can be derived from the difference between
estimate at completion (EAC) and Actual cost (AC).
ON Calculating Schedule performance index we came to know that we are behind the schedule
