CHAPTER 3: MANAGING SYSTEMS PROJECTS
Project Activities and Planning Steps
Step 1: Create a Work Breakdown Structure
Work breakdown structure (WBS)
-A breakdown of a project into smaller components.
-Is a key project deliverable that organizes the team's work into manageable sections.
Gantt Chart
-a table that devided the activity/proses
-Can present an overview of the project’s status, but does not provide detailed information that is necessary when managing a complex project
PERT/CPM
-Chart The Program Evaluation Review Technique (PERT)
-Critical Path Method (CPM)
-PERT/CPM is called a bottom-up technique
Identifying Tasks in a Work Breakdown Structure
Listing the tasks
Estimating Task Duration
-Person-days
-Best-case estimate (B)
-Probable-case estimate (P)
-Worst-case estimate (W)
-Weight
(B+4P+W)/6
Step 2: Identify Task Patterns
Large or small, tasks depend on each other and must be performed in a sequence, not unlike the commands in a software programTask patterns can involve dependent tasks, multiple successor tasks, and multiple predecessor tasks
Types of Task Patterns Dependent Tasks
Multiple successor tasks
Concurrent task
Predecessor task
Successor task
Multiple Predecessor Tasks
Step 3: Calculate the Critical Path
is the longest path
