What is a plan schedule management?
Process of establishing the policies, procedures and documentation for planning, developing, managing, executing and controlling project schedule
Creating a schedule model with all components is also called a?
project schedule
Two project scheduling methods:
Alternative scheduling with a backlog - Agile approach
On-demand scheduling - Kanban system
Rolling wave planning based on adaptive schedule approach?
Agile approach
On-demand scheduling approach is known as what kind of system?
Kanban system
What environment used short cycles to undertake work, results, adapt and provide rapid feedback?
Agile / adaptive enviornment
When should I use a life cycle approach?
When you need a more detailed schdule
When should I use a resource availability approach?
When factors influence duration
When should I use a project dimensions approach?
when project complexity impact desired level of control
When should I use the technology support approach?
When technology is used to develop, record, transmit, receive and store project schedule model is readily accessible
A component of a the PM plan that establishes the criteria and the activities for developing, monitoring and controlling schedule.
Schedule management plan
project schedule model development
Scheduling methodology and tool to used in the development of the project schedule model
Release and iteration lenght
time boxed periods for release waves and iteration
What does time-boxing help with?
minimize scope creep as it forces the teams to process essential features first, then other features when time permits.
level of accuracy
range used in realistic activity duration estimates
unit of measure
unit of measurement is defined for each resource
Organizational procedures links
the WBS provides framework for the schedule management plan
Project schedule model maintenance
update the status and record progress of project
Control thresholds
monitor schedule performance and are expressed in % deviations from the parameter established in the baseline plan
Rule of performance measurement
physical measurement : establishing % complete , EVM techniques, schedule variance and schedule performance index
reporting formats
formats and frequency for project
Decomposition
dividing and subdividing the project scope and project deliverables into smaller more manageable parts.
Rolling wave planning
is an iterative planning technique which the work is accomplished in the new term is planned in detail, while work further in the future is planned at a higher level.
Activity list
the schedule activities required on the project
