What is Project Time Management?
- Project Time Management – Includes the processes required to accomplish timely completion of the project.*

Define Activities
- Define Activities – The process of identifying the specific actions to be performed to produce the project deliverables.”
*Source: PMBOK® p.129
*
A level small enough to estimate, schedule, monitor and manage
Sequence Activities
- Sequence Activities – The process of identifying and documenting relationships among the project activities.”
*
Sequence Activities
Start to Start
Task A
Task B
Precedence Relationships
Task A & B may start at the same time but (B) can’t begin until the first task (A) has started.
*
The first type of relationship within Precedence Diagramming is a Start to Start.
Task A
Task B
Task A & B may end at the same time but (B) can’t finish until the first task (A) has finished.
Precedence Relationships

Sequence Activities
Start to Finish
Task A
Task B
Task (A) must start before Task(B) can finish. This method is seldom used.

Sequence Activities
Finish to Start
Task A
Task B
Task (A) must finish before the next task, task (B) can begin. This is the most common method.

Precedence Diagramming
Method (PDM)
*
Here is what a Precedence diagram looks like when you put it all together.
Sequence Activities
- Schedule Network Templates
- Dependencies
- Mandatory (Hard Logic)
Inherent in the nature of the work being done
- Discretionary (Soft Logic)
Defined by the project management team
- External
Involve a relationship between project activities and non-project activities
*
The three (3) out of the four (4) tools listed under the tools and techniques are Network Based Schedules. You can think of these schedules as visual representations of the project as they entail boxes or circles and arrows connecting them.

Estimate Activity Resources
- Estimate Activity Resources – Is the process used to estimate the type and quantities of resources (persons, equipment, or material) required to perform each schedule activity.
*
Activity Duration Estimating
- Uses work periods as the primary measure
- Answers the question “How long will this activity or deliverable take?”
- Duration is in terms of calendar time.
Estimate Activity Durations
- Estimate Activity Durations – The process of approximating the number of work periods it will take to complete individual activities with estimate resources.
*
Activity Duration Estimating
- Uses work periods as the primary measure
- Answers the question “How long will this activity or deliverable take?”
- Duration is in terms of calendar time.
Develop Schedule
- Schedule Development – The process of analyzing activity sequences, durations resources requirements, and schedule constraints to create the project schedule.
*
Schedule Development gives you the ability to create operating plans to manage the project.
The purpose of the schedule is to convert the project plan into an operating plan that is the basic tool for controlling all project activities.
Develop Schedule
- Mathematical Analysis
- Critical Path Method (CPM)
- Graphical Evaluation & Review Technique (GERT)
- Program Evaluation & Review Technique (PERT)
*
Within the tools section there are five (5) tools for schedule development. We are going to focus on two (2): PERT and the critical path method.
