Finals - Sad

• Project Triangle - Cost, Scope, and Time
• Project Triangle consist of; cost, scope, and time.
• Project Planning - It identify all project tasks and estimate the completion time and cost of each.
• Project Scheduling - It create specific timetable that shows task, task dependencies, and critical tasks that might delay the project.
• Project Monitoring - Guiding, supervising, and coordinating the project teams' workload.
• Project Reporting - create regular progress reports to management, users, and the project team itself.
• Gantt Chart - It developed by the mechanical engineer and management consultant Henry L Gantt almost 100 years ago.
• Gantt Chart - It shows planned and actual progress on a project wherein time displayed in horizontal axis and tasks displayed in vertical axis.
• Program Evaluation Review Technique - It is developed by the U.S Navy to manage complex project.
• Critical Path Method - It is similar with PERT but developed by private industry.
• Work Breakdown Structure - It must clearly identify each task and include an estimated duration
• Task or Activity - Any work that has beginning and an end and requires the use of company resources such as people, time, or money.
• Task - These are the basic units of work that project manager plans, schedules, and monitors so they should be relatively small and manageable.
• Two Steps Creating a Task:

  1. Listing the Task
  2. Estimating the Task Duration
• Person-days - It is a unit of measurement if the tasks uses days.
• Person-day - It represent the work that one person can complete in one day.
• Factors that Affecting Duration:

  1. Project Size
  2. Human Resources
• Project Size - Identifying all project task, from initial fact-finding to system implementation and how much time will be needed to perform each task
• Human Resources - Assemble and guide a development team that has the skill and experience to handle the project.
• Displaying the Work Breakdown Structure:

  1. Experience with Similar Projects
  2. Constraints
• Experience with Similar Projects - It developed time and cost estimates based on the resources used for similar, previously developed information systems.
• Constraints - These are the conditions, restrictions, or requirement that system must satisfy.
• Five Task Box Element:

  1. Task Name
  2. Task ID
  3. Task Duration
  4. Start Day/Date
  5. Finish Day/Date
• Task Name - it should be brief and descriptive.
• Task ID - Can be a number or code that provides unique identification.
• Task Duration - Amount of time it will take to complete a task.
• Start Day/Date - Task is schedule to begin
• Finish Day/Date - Task is scheduled to be completed.
• Main Types of Task Patterns

  1. Dependent Tasks
  2. Multiple Successor Tasks
  3. Multiple Predecessor Tasks
• Dependent Task - It happens when task must be completed one after another because one depends on the other.
• Multiple Successor Tasks - It happens when several tasks can start at the same time.
• Multiple Predecessor Tasks - It happens when a task requires two or more prior tasks to be completed before it can start.
• Critical Path - It is a series of tasks which, if delayed, would affect the completion date of the overall project.
• Monitoring and Control Techniques - Structure walkthrough
• Maintaining a Schedule - most projects tune into some problems or delays
• Project Status Meetings - Schedule regular meetings to update the team and discuss project status, issues, problems and opportunities.
• Project Status report - It can be verbal or written and usually it handles potential problems can be difficult and Gantt charts are often included to show project status graphically.
• Steps in Risk Management:

  1. Develop a Risk Management Plan
  2. Identify the Risk
  3. Analyze the Risk
  4. Risk Management Software
• Develop a Risk Management Plant - This is the review of the project's scope, stakeholders, budget, schedule, and any other internal or external factor that might affect the projects.
• Develop a Risk Management Plan - It defines the project roles and responsibilities, risk management methods and procedures, categories of risks, and contingency plans.
