Capitulo: 6. PROJECT SCHEDULE MANAGEMENT Flashcards
What is the process of schedule
management?
Plan Schedule Management
Define Activities
Sequence Activities
Estimate Activity Durations
Develop Schedule
Control Schedule
What is the key output of the Plan
Schedule Management process?
Schedule management plan
What are the key outputs of the Define
Activities process?
Activity list
Activity attributes
Milestone list
Change requests
What is the key output of the Sequence
Activities process?
Project schedule network diagram
What are the key outputs of the Estimate
Activity Durations process?
Duration estimates
Basis of estimates
Updates to project documents
Describe the Develop Schedule process.
An iterative process that creates a project
schedule that is bought into, approved,
realistic, and formal
What are some of the key outputs of the Develop Schedule process.?
Project schedule
Schedule baseline
Change requests
Schedule data
What are the key outputs of the Control
Schedule process?
Work performance information
Schedule forecasts
Change requests
Updates to the schedule management
plan, performance measurement
baseline, and project documents
What are the two types of reserves being
evaluated in reserve analysis?
Contingency reserves and management
reserves
What is rolling wave planning?
Planning at a higher level and
developing more detailed plans when the
work is to be done
What do network diagrams show?
The network diagram shows just
dependencies (logical relationships)
If estimates and leads and lags are added
to the diagram later in the schedule
management process, it can also show
the critical path
What are the four types of logical
relationships between activities in the
precedence diagramming method?
Finish-to-start (FS): An activity must
finish before the successor can start
Start-to-start (SS): An activity must start
before the successor can start
Finish-to-finish (FF): An activity must
finish before the successor can finish
Start-to-finish (SF): An activity must
start before the successor can finish
What are mandatory dependencies?
Mandatory: The order in which
activities must be done, due to the
inherent nature of the work or as
required by a contract; also called “hard
logic”
What are discretionary dependencies?
Discretionary: The order in which the
organization has chosen to have work
performed; also called “preferred,”
“preferential,” or “soft logic”
What is a lag?
Lag: Waiting time inserted between
activities
