What is a Project?
- Is a collection of tasks that must be completed in minimum time or at minimal cost.
- temporary undertaking to create a unique product or service
- Altering something to the desired condition
- Unique, two projects are never done one exact way
- Several related activities
- Focuses on the outcome

Program
- Group of related and coordinated projects to obtain benefits not available from managing the individual projects
- May be on-going, operational work.
- to obtain broad organizational or technical objectives.
- Differs in scope, benefits realization, time, and other variables with a project.
- Does not have specific beginning and an end

Important aspects of Project
- Resources
- People, materials
- Planning
- Time i.e. schedule
- Who does what and when

Project Planning
Includes
- Steps required to accomplish the project objectives
- List of tasks needed to be done at each step
- Division of talks i.e Work Breakdown Structures
- Estimation of time and resources each task may require
- Time required for each task/step
- The inter-dependencies of tasks
- Milestones, Deliverables, payments etc
- Risk assessment
- Quality control
- Defines completion

Project scheduling
- Breaks down the project into activities
- Determining times for activities
- Sequences activities
- Establishes objectives
- Determining available resources
- Identifying precedence relationships
- Help in resource management
- Determining critical activities and interdependence

Objectives of Project Scheduling
- Successful completion of the project as early as possible by identifying the earliest start and finish of each activity.
- Calculating the likelihood a project will be completed within a certain time period.
- Finding the minimum cost schedule needed to complete the project by a certain date.

Tasks of a project
- Tasks also called “activities”. They
- include estimated completion time and sometimes costs of the smaller
- parts of the project that collectively will complete the project
- Activity completion time is related to the amount of available resources
- The degree of activity details depends on the application and the level of specificity of data.
- Help identify appropriate managerial tools for project control
