Scheduling 3 Flashcards
- For each TASK, we must decide which tasks can:
start when the current one has been completed.
- Once you develop the WBS and all its tasks, the next step is to:
determine the order of excecuting the TASKS.
- The resulting SEQUENCING DATA will be recorded on:
a. GRID for checking, in preparation for drawing FLOWCHARTS of the whole project.
- The study of the WBS explained:
A. How to develop a goal.
B. How to break down very general objectives into a large number of simple tasks suitable for scheduling.
- Closely related to those TASKS are:
EVENTS and MILESTONES.
- A TASK is
an ACTIVITY that is directed at achieving an OBJECTIVE.
- When TASKS are phrased in such a way that they exactly define the OBJECTIVE, every activity will have a well defined beginning and ending.
The ENDING EVENT is the OBJECTIVE of the ACTIVITY.
- Crossing the Finish Line is the EVENT that completes you running a race.
EVENTS are the points that mark the BEGINNING and ENDING of a TASK.
- The ACTIVITY (TASK) of digging a ditch begins with:
THE START OF DIGGING
- EVENTS consume:
NEITHER TIME NOR RESOUCES, and RELATE DIRECTLY to the OBJECTIVES that were defined in the WBS.
- As with every TASK, every project must also begin and end with a START event and a FINISH event, known as:
MILESTONES
- MILESTONES can be inserted when:
several tasks all terminate at the same event, indicating a major achievement.
- A NETWORK is:
a GRAPHICAL ARRAY OF POINTS INTERCONECTED BY LINES.
- GANNT charts are drawn with:
TASK symbols only
- AON diagrams use:
different TASK symbols accompanied by only a few milestones.
