![Page 9: Fundamentals of Project Management](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052410/55580ae6d8b42ae31c8b52f8/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Why Projects
Why organize an activity or job as a project?
• It allows you to better structure and organize the tasks that need to be performed
• Well developed approaches and tools are available for managing projects
• Easy-to-use software is available for scheduling and budgeting projects
• Experience has shown that the work/job can be done faster, cheaper, and better when managed as a project
![Page 10: Fundamentals of Project Management](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052410/55580ae6d8b42ae31c8b52f8/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

Types of Projects
The mix of projects undertaken should
support the firm’s corporate strategy.
• Derivative projects—small
improvements
• Platform projects—develop new line of
products using existing technology
• Breakthrough projects—new generation
of products using new technology
• R&D projects—develop new knowledge
![Page 12: Fundamentals of Project Management](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052410/55580ae6d8b42ae31c8b52f8/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Terms often confused with ‘project
• Process /Operational – a series of steps needed to perform a routine activity (e.g. purchasing). A project may contain many processes.
• Programme – work performed towards achieving a long term goal (e.g. a health awareness programme). Programmes may never achieve all their goals, and may comprise a series of projects
![Page 13: Fundamentals of Project Management](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052410/55580ae6d8b42ae31c8b52f8/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
What is Project Management
• The initiation, planning, execution, control and termination of projects in a formal, directed and intelligent fashion– According to Project Management
Institute (PMI)
![Page 14: Fundamentals of Project Management](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052410/55580ae6d8b42ae31c8b52f8/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Why is Project Management
• Because companies are organized around projects (and processes)
• Because project management is recognized as a core competence
• Because project management is a discipline in disarray—we just don’t know how to manage projects well
• Because project management differs in significant ways from ordinary management
![Page 15: Fundamentals of Project Management](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052410/55580ae6d8b42ae31c8b52f8/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

Project Selection Models
![Page 22: Fundamentals of Project Management](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052410/55580ae6d8b42ae31c8b52f8/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Project Selection
• Project selection is the process of evaluating individual projects or groups of projects,
• and then choosing to implement some set of them so that the objectives of the parent organization will be achieved.
• The proper choice of investment projects is crucial to the long-run survival of every firm.
• Daily we witness the results of both good and bad investment choices.
![Page 23: Fundamentals of Project Management](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052410/55580ae6d8b42ae31c8b52f8/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Project Models
![Page 24: Fundamentals of Project Management](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052410/55580ae6d8b42ae31c8b52f8/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Decision Models
• Models abstract the relevant issues about a problem from the plethora of detail in which the problem is embedded.
• Reality is far too complex to deal with in its entirety.
• This process of carving away the unwanted reality from the bones of a problem is called modeling the problem.
• The idealized version of the problem that results is called a model.
![Page 25: Fundamentals of Project Management](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052410/55580ae6d8b42ae31c8b52f8/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Criteria for Project Selection Model
1. Realism2. Capability3. Flexibility4. Ease of use5. Cost6. Easy computerization
![Page 26: Fundamentals of Project Management](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052410/55580ae6d8b42ae31c8b52f8/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Numeric and Non-Numeric Models
• Both widely used, Many organizations use both at the same time, or they use models that are combinations of the two.
• Nonnumeric models, as the name implies, do not use numbers as inputs. Numeric models do, but the criteria being measured may be either objective or subjective.
• It is important to remember that:– the qualities of a project may be represented
by numbers, and– that subjective measures are not necessarily
less useful or reliable than objective measures.
![Page 27: Fundamentals of Project Management](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052410/55580ae6d8b42ae31c8b52f8/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Nonnumeric Models
• Nonnumeric models are older and simpler and have only a few subtypes to consider.
• Some Nonnumeric Selection Methods• Sacred Cow (president’s pet project)
– Do you want to keep your job?
• Operating/Competitive Necessity– You must do this project to stay in business
• Comparative Benefits– Examine +/- of each potential project

Some Numeric Selection Methods
Common Financial Assessment Methods– Payback Period
• Simple to use and easy to understand
• Ignores returns beyond payback period and time value of money
– Discounted Cash Flow (NPV)• Considers time value of money and
all returns• Favors short-term projects• Ignores all non-monetary factors
except risk
![Page 30: Fundamentals of Project Management](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052410/55580ae6d8b42ae31c8b52f8/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Payback Period Example
Expected project costs are $700,000
Expected returns are $200,000 per year
Payback period = 700,000 ÷ 200,000 = 3.5 years
Revenues would cover investment costs in 3.5 yrs.

What are the criteria for success in Project Management
• Completion on time• Completion within budget• Completion with full functionality &
Quality ( Meeting the requirement)
with complete
Customer Satisfaction
![Page 33: Fundamentals of Project Management](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052410/55580ae6d8b42ae31c8b52f8/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
The triple Constraint/Quadruple Constraint
• Time \\\\\\• Cost---- Tradeoffs between these• Scope //////• Quality
![Page 34: Fundamentals of Project Management](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052410/55580ae6d8b42ae31c8b52f8/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Scope Creep
• Scope creep can be defined as a process where changes are made to a
projects deliverables, outcomes or requirements/features either without
stakeholder’s approval or without managing the effects this change or
changes could have on the projects schedule, budget or time.
• HOW DOES SCOPE CREEP HAPPEN?
• Scope creep could occur when the project requirements are not well
formed or are not clearly understood by stakeholders. Scope creep could
also occur due to unforeseen circumstances and events, both external and
internal, changes in laws or regulations, technology, market trends and
demands, during the project. Also, incessant change request by
stakeholders to improve the project, if not well managed could also cause
scope creep (Lewis, J. P.)

CONSEQUENCES OF SCOPE CREEP
• Scope creep if not managed properly is every project
manager’s worst nightmare, with several effects on both
the project and his personal life.
• projects will be affected by mismanagement of scope creep
might also suffer decreased return on investment (RIO),
additional losses and increased cost of maintenance

The Conception phase – the idea
• Essentially - What are we going to do?• For small projects an informal discussion
might adequate• For larger projects, a more formal review
and discussion processes required.- project Charter
• Key questions to answer should be:• Should you do it? What is the benefit
and do the benefits outweigh the costs?• Can you do it? Is it technically feasible
and are there enough resources?
![Page 42: Fundamentals of Project Management](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052410/55580ae6d8b42ae31c8b52f8/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Tool and Technique
BRAINSTORMING
![Page 43: Fundamentals of Project Management](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052410/55580ae6d8b42ae31c8b52f8/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Brainstorming
• Brainstorming was coined in the 1940s by
Alex Osborne a US advertising executive.
• It works by temporarily removing the
social blocks which we all have which
prevent us from being creative. Blocks
such as:
o Feeling our ideas will be ridiculed
o Feeling we don’t know enough to voice
an opinion
o Focusing on simple solutions rather than
taking a risk
![Page 44: Fundamentals of Project Management](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052410/55580ae6d8b42ae31c8b52f8/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Brainstorming
• Brainstorming is essentially a method for
being creative in groups, particularly
useful for creative problem solving.
• ‘Popcorning’ is the new name for
brainstorming
![Page 45: Fundamentals of Project Management](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052410/55580ae6d8b42ae31c8b52f8/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
The rules of brainstorming
• No judgement or criticism of an idea
• Quantity of ideas is more important than
quality
• Freewheeling - rapid a spontaneous ideas
• Mutating and combining ideas – one
person’s idea stimulates ideas from
another person
• No answer or idea belongs to a person,
they belong to the group
• Answers and ideas must be produced
rapidly
![Page 46: Fundamentals of Project Management](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052410/55580ae6d8b42ae31c8b52f8/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
• 1 question or problem is posed• 2 people in a group take turns to answer• 3 each suggestion is written down by a
note taker• 4 repeat the process until the group run
out of ideas• 5 Select, filter and choose the most
appropriate ideas.
Brainstorming how to do it
![Page 47: Fundamentals of Project Management](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052410/55580ae6d8b42ae31c8b52f8/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
• That temptation at this point is to get started (after minimal planning). This is the traditional British approach.
• It gives the appearance of immediate activity and progress. We are busy ‘doing’.
• But it leads to mistakes and waste. • We end up with Plan-Do, Do-Re-Do, Re-
plan, Re-Do, RE-Do, Re-Plan etc
![Page 48: Fundamentals of Project Management](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052410/55580ae6d8b42ae31c8b52f8/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
So what we do..
• Consequently…o Projects over runso Cost too mucho Don’t achieve desired result
• So we...o Hunt for the guiltyo Persecute the innocento Promote the uninvolved
![Page 49: Fundamentals of Project Management](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052410/55580ae6d8b42ae31c8b52f8/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
But I am too busy to spend time planning!…Planning allows you to:
• Ensure that people only work on activities which
are needed, and do them correctly the first time,
not waste time doing unnecessary activities.
• Anticipate potential problems and take
preventative action to deal with them before they
happen.
• Do things in the right order at the right time,
which should prevent things going wrong later.
![Page 50: Fundamentals of Project Management](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052410/55580ae6d8b42ae31c8b52f8/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)

![Page 51: Fundamentals of Project Management](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052410/55580ae6d8b42ae31c8b52f8/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Why do so many projects fail to meet expectations?
A study by Hughes (1986) identified three main reasons for projects failing.
• 1 a lack of understanding of project management tools and an over reliance on project management software
• 2 communication problems• 3 failure to adequately adjust to changes
that occur during the course of the project
![Page 52: Fundamentals of Project Management](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052410/55580ae6d8b42ae31c8b52f8/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Continued..
• Hughes notes that many managers are apt
to lose sight of the project. By focusing on
the project management software and
managing this rather than the actual
project!
• Michalski (2000) observes that
“good communication is the key successful project management”.
![Page 53: Fundamentals of Project Management](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052410/55580ae6d8b42ae31c8b52f8/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
So we will use a Project Life Cycle like this
• Conception Phase (The Idea)
• Definition Phase (The Plan)
• Initiation Phase (The Team)
• Implementation Phase (The Work) DO
REVIEW• Evaluation Phase (The Wrap-up)
![Page 54: Fundamentals of Project Management](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052410/55580ae6d8b42ae31c8b52f8/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
Proper Planning Prevents
Poor Project Performance
![Page 55: Fundamentals of Project Management](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052410/55580ae6d8b42ae31c8b52f8/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
• Review the reasons for the project.• Describing detail what results are to be
produced.• Create a list of all the work to be
performed.• Produce a detailed project schedule.• Calculate budgets.• Describe how risk is to be managed.• Identify any assumptions about the
project.• Identify and define the roles of the
project’s team members.
The Definition phase – the plan
![Page 56: Fundamentals of Project Management](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052410/55580ae6d8b42ae31c8b52f8/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
The Initiation phase – start up
• Assign people to project roles, ensure they are
available when needed. Negotiation may be
necessary.
• Give and explain all tasks to team members.
• Set up systems and accounts to track personnel
information and financial expenditure.
• Announce the project’s start, what it will produce.
When it will start when it will finish
![Page 57: Fundamentals of Project Management](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052410/55580ae6d8b42ae31c8b52f8/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
Important document in Initiation Phase
• Project Charter – statement of Scope , Objectives and
participants in a project and is a critical document to ensure
that everyone involved in project is aware of its purpose
and objectives.
• It outlines the project objectives, identifies the main
stakeholders , and defines the authority of the project
manager.
• Purpose : Reasons for undertaking the project , Objectives
and constraints of the project , assumptions that influence
the project environment, directions concerning the solution
–scope , identifies the main stakeholders, empowers the
Project Manager the authority to carry out the project

2. DELIVERABLES Provide a high level list of “what” needs to be done in order to reach the goals of the project. Each deliverable should be sufficiently detailed so that the Project Team will understand what needs to be accomplished. Describe the deliverable using action words (verbs) such as “deliver, provide, create, research, etc. Deliverables should be measurable, so the Project Sponsor and Team can determine whether the deliverable has been successfully completed at the project’s conclusion. 3. SCOPE DEFINITION Document the scope of work to be delivered. To assist you in defining scope, use documentation such as RFP’, sales proposals, business requirements, functional specifications, etc. to set and limit the scope. In Scope is what the project will include to meet the requirements of the Project goals. Out of Scope excludes responsibilities, activities, deliverables or other areas that are not part of the Project. The project will include: The project will not include:

4. PROJECT MILESTONES Identify the significant project milestones. 5. ASSUMPTIONS, CONSTRAINTS & DEPENDENCIES Identify the assumptions that were made to form the basis of defining scope. Also identify any assumptions t hat will be made for the purposes of planning the project. The objective here is to set the boundaries and address how the triple project management constraint (scope, time and cost) are potentially impacted/managed. List any constraints (potential factors that will impact the delivery or make it difficult to manage the project) on the project or dependencies on resources or funding to the project. Consider time, cost, dates and regulatory issues as constraints or dependencies to the project. 6. RELATED DOCUMENTS Reference any related documents that were used to define scope and assumptions – e.g., RFQ, RFP, Sales Proposal, etc. Also reference any product and process related standards and frameworks that constrain the work to be done. 7. PROJECT ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE Identify the key stakeholders and team members by function, name and role. Function Name Role

Project Scope Management (Most Important element in Project Management )
• Scope Management is primarily concerned with
defining and controlling what is & what is not
included in the project.
• Processes are presented as discrete components
with well defined interfaces but in practices the
will overlap & interact in ways that may not have
been detailed.
• what needs to be accomplish to deliver the
product, service / result with the specified
features and functions
![Page 62: Fundamentals of Project Management](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052410/55580ae6d8b42ae31c8b52f8/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)
Activity – Group
• Develop a Project Charter for your project . It could be any
project or simple project.
• Must contain
• - Project Name , Project Charter Author , Project
Manager, Project Charter status , Proposed Project start &
End Date
• - Project details – Project Description , Project Purpose ,
Project Goals & Outcomes , Project Scope , Project
deliverables , Benefits , stakeholders , constraints /risk ,

Implementation phase – the do
• Doing the tasks as laid out in your plan
• Regularly comparing the actual
performance with the plan, knowing and
anticipating when things are not going
according to schedule
• Fixing problems that arise.
• Keeping everyone informed

Tools that we use in Projects
• Milestone chart – similar to Gantt chart but they only show
major events and no duration, they simply represent the
completion of activities. Good tools for reporting to
management and to the customer.
• Gantt Chart / Bar Charts – very effective for progress
reporting and control. No interdependencies between
activites.

Roles in projects – who is responsible for what?One of the the benefits of project management
techniques is the opportunity to clarify roles. • Project sponsor – person who’s paying for it
• Project champion - person who wants to see it happen
• Project manager – will ensure it happens
• Project team – will make it happen
• Stakeholders – those affected by it and with an interest in it, but not necessarily part of it.
![Page 73: Fundamentals of Project Management](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052410/55580ae6d8b42ae31c8b52f8/html5/thumbnails/73.jpg)
Stakeholder - definition
• A stakeholder is, for our purposes at
the moment, “a person or
organization who is affected by or
impacted by what you are trying to
do”

Who are the STAKEHOLDERS??
• Customers• Project Sponsor—the guy w/ deep pockets• Users• Project team• Support staff• Suppliers• Opponents• People involved-in or affected by project
activities
![Page 76: Fundamentals of Project Management](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052410/55580ae6d8b42ae31c8b52f8/html5/thumbnails/76.jpg)
Stakeholders 4 things to do with them
• List them
• Try to understand their likely perspective -
how might they react to the project?
• Assess their relative importance
• Act appropriately with the stakeholder
throughout the project – identify and decide
what action you may need to take

Pure Project Organization ( Projectized Org.)
• Each project is organized as a separate division reporting to senior management
• Effective for large projects, not small. Why?
• Each project owns its resources/personnel
• Each project may not have much depth of technical expertise, but it should have breadth
• Project Manager has full authorities to assign priorities
![Page 83: Fundamentals of Project Management](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052410/55580ae6d8b42ae31c8b52f8/html5/thumbnails/83.jpg)

Matrix Project Organization
• Most common organizational structure• Has many advantages of functional
project and pure project structures• Project team members have two
bosses• Team members may be assigned part-
time to project and may have less loyalty to the project

The 7 Steps to Project Success
![Page 87: Fundamentals of Project Management](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052410/55580ae6d8b42ae31c8b52f8/html5/thumbnails/87.jpg)
The 7 Steps..
• Project Success Chart ( Project Charter )
• Work Breakdown Structure ( WBS )
• Task Assignment Matrix
• Task Duration Table
• Project Network Diagram
• Gantt Chart Schedule
• Project Budget Chart
![Page 88: Fundamentals of Project Management](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052410/55580ae6d8b42ae31c8b52f8/html5/thumbnails/88.jpg)
The 7 Steps..
• Project Success Chart ( Project Charter )
• Work Breakdown Structure ( WBS )
• Task Assignment Matrix
• Task Duration Table
• Project Network Diagram
• Gantt Chart Schedule
• Project Budget Chart
![Page 89: Fundamentals of Project Management](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052410/55580ae6d8b42ae31c8b52f8/html5/thumbnails/89.jpg)
• To illustrate these steps, I will
use a simple small project,
making a birthday cake as an
example
![Page 90: Fundamentals of Project Management](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052410/55580ae6d8b42ae31c8b52f8/html5/thumbnails/90.jpg)
Step 1 – Project Success Chart
• List the factors vital to the success of the project – the project
objective, the project deliverable (s) and the project success
criteria.
• Project Objective is what will be achieved by when. In our
example project objective is “Bake a cake in time for my
mother’s birthday party.”
• The project deliverable (s ) are what will be delivered by when
. In our case project deliverable is one-2 layer chocolate cake
with Pokemon decorations, in time for the birthday party.
• The project success criteria is what will meet or exceed the
expectations of each stakeholders. The first step is to list all
of the stakeholders. In our case it consists of my mother, her
parents and the birthday party guests
![Page 91: Fundamentals of Project Management](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052410/55580ae6d8b42ae31c8b52f8/html5/thumbnails/91.jpg)
Step 1 Continued..
• The expectations of her parents are that the cake be
reasonable cost, and that it be available on time. The
expectations of the guests are that the cake be available in
sufficient quantity, that it taste good, and that it be
available in time.
• The advantage of the Project Success Chart – the elements
of the project that enable its success can be communicated
to the project team members in a very short period of time.
![Page 92: Fundamentals of Project Management](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052410/55580ae6d8b42ae31c8b52f8/html5/thumbnails/92.jpg)
Project Objective ( What will be achieved by when )
Bake a cake in time for my daughter’s birthday party
Project Deliverables ( What will be delivered by when )
One 2 layer chocolate cake with Pokemon Decorations, in time for
the birthday party.
Success Criteria ( what will meet or exceed the expectation of each
stakeholder
Stakeholders Success Criteria
Mother Chocolate cake, Pokemon deco
on time
Husband Reasonable cost, on time.
Birthday party guests Sufficient quantity, taste , on
time.
![Page 93: Fundamentals of Project Management](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052410/55580ae6d8b42ae31c8b52f8/html5/thumbnails/93.jpg)
Step 2 – Work Breakdown Structure
• WBS is a way organizing all of the tasks in the project. The
method used is to break the project objective into sub-
objectives. For each Sub-Objective I list the tasks necessary to
achieve the sub-objective.
• In this case , the Make Cake sub objective consists of 1) Look
in cake recipe book, 2) Measure / mix cake ingrdients, 3) Cool
cake , and 4) Bake cake. Tasks do not have to be listed in the
correct time sequence.
• The Make Frosting sub –Objective consists of 1) Looking in
frosting recipes book, and 2) Measure / Mix frosting
ingredients . The purchase Ingredients sub-Objective consists
of 1) Drive to Store, 2 ) Buy Decorations.
• In many projects, there is an Integration function. In this case
we must put the cake and decorations together. Perform
integration subjective of 1) Put deco on cake and 2) Slather
frosting on cake.
![Page 94: Fundamentals of Project Management](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052410/55580ae6d8b42ae31c8b52f8/html5/thumbnails/94.jpg)
![Page 95: Fundamentals of Project Management](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052410/55580ae6d8b42ae31c8b52f8/html5/thumbnails/95.jpg)
Step 3 – Task Assignment Matrix
• Will list the tasks and task owners .
![Page 96: Fundamentals of Project Management](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052410/55580ae6d8b42ae31c8b52f8/html5/thumbnails/96.jpg)
Step 4 – Task Duration Table
• List three estimates for each task – Optimistic , Most likely , and
Pessimistic . The optimistic values usually have a probably have
the best
case estimate , Most Likely – medium estimates , Pessimistic-
the worst
case estimate.
![Page 97: Fundamentals of Project Management](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052410/55580ae6d8b42ae31c8b52f8/html5/thumbnails/97.jpg)
![Page 98: Fundamentals of Project Management](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052410/55580ae6d8b42ae31c8b52f8/html5/thumbnails/98.jpg)
Step 5 – Project Network Diagram• Shows the logical flow of tasks in the project.
• From our Task Assignment Matrix, we can do all task
simultaneously, because we have assigned different resources
to each of these tasks.
• Critical Path is the longest path of the project. To determine
the Critical Path , we combine the results above with our Task
Duration Table from step 4. From the table we use the most
likely estimates of task duration to determine the longest
path in project or Critical Path.
![Page 99: Fundamentals of Project Management](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052410/55580ae6d8b42ae31c8b52f8/html5/thumbnails/99.jpg)
![Page 100: Fundamentals of Project Management](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052410/55580ae6d8b42ae31c8b52f8/html5/thumbnails/100.jpg)
Step 6 – Gantt Chart Schedule• We will use the information from Step 4 to determine a
contignency to protect the project due date from schedule
overruns.
• Project buffer is placed at the end of the Critical Path to
protect against overruns in the duration of the tasks on the
critical path
![Page 101: Fundamentals of Project Management](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052410/55580ae6d8b42ae31c8b52f8/html5/thumbnails/101.jpg)
• We see that pessimistic estimates for the Critical Path tasks
total to 300 minutes, and the most likely estimates total to
200 minutes.
• We take half of the difference between the total of the
pessimistic and most likely estimates as the project buffer ,
which in this case would be 50 minutes.
• Gantt Chart constructed , including the 50 minute project
buffer.
• If we start the birthday cake project by 8am, we should have it
ready for the birthday party scheduled for 12.30 pm in the
afternoon.
