Introducing Project Time Management - Defining the Project Timeline
14 important questions on Introducing Project Time Management - Defining the Project Timeline
What is the point of the project schedule?
What is the critical path used for?
- To consider which activities are critical
- To identify which activities have float/ slack
- To determine the earliest completion date of a project
What types of float are being recognized in a project?
- Free float - total time activity can be delayed without delaying start of a successor activity
- Total float- total time activity can be delayed without delaying project completion
- Negative total float - caused by constraints on activities
- Project float - the time the project can be delayed without passing the customer-expected completion date
- Higher grades + faster learning
- Never study anything twice
- 100% sure, 100% understanding
For my 1st exam I got a C. Then, I started looking for ways to learn better and I came across Study Smart. Since then I have scored a A+, A, A- and another A. I highly recommend it to everyone who wants to hear it. I am so happy with it!!
I was struggling to finish all my first-year subjects for 3 years. Then I discovered Study Smart, which helped me to finish all of them within 3 months.
Because of StudySmart, things are going well in many ways. Before, I always had study stress and no time for anything. Now I feel calm and confident (because of the program). I used to score a B, now I usually score an A or A+.
Hey Chris, I really want to thank you very much for developing the platform, I usually got around C for my exams, now I scored an A+, an A and a A- !!
Since using Study Smart, my average has increased significantly. I even completed a statistics course with a A+ while I'm bad at statistics. I took on extra courses this year, because of Study Smart. Thanks so much!
Ever since I started studying with StudySmart I passed all my exams !!! No more re-sits!! At first, I was happy with a pass and now I only get good grades. Many thanks!
I aced all the courses I studied with Study Smart. For law, I first scored a D, and now an A! I’m 100% sure that I’ll pass all the courses I study with Study Smart.
I always thought I studied well. My grades were fine. I could never have imagined that applying these study skills would have such a huge and direct impact on my grades, my speed and the pleasure I have in learning.
For the first time, I finally feel totally confident about the way I learn. I have the perfect overview and make great progress in terms of speed and the grades I get. Thanks, Chris!
I immediately started to enjoy learning again, and my grades soared. All of a sudden, everything went better. I highly recommend Study Smart to all students..
Being able to create my materials online made the process of studying so much smoother and quicker. I no longer have to spend a huge amount of my time on creating my summaries.
At first, my notes were a mess. Now I use Study Smart to take my notes in a perfectly structured way. It helps me to save a lot of time and do other things I enjoy.
Students that study with Study Smart get better grades. The system applies all the learning methods in such a way that both well-performing students and students who struggle perform much better.
Hi Chris, I would like to thank you very much. Last year I scored C on a course, and this year I got an A+ thanks to your method! Thank you very much!
The largest effect is that my child is more enthusiastic about school! Every parent wants their children to be happy at school, Study Smart made it happen.
In high school, I failed several exams, and that has really changed now. I actually needed this tool very much back then. Since I started studying with StudySmart, I haven't had any D's. My average score is now an A and those are results I would have never had in the past
With my old method, I passed only 3 out of 8 courses. Since I started taking my notes digitally in Study Smart, I have passed all my courses on the first try. For me, StudySmart takes away the stress of wondering if I will pass or not.
Thanks to StudySmart, I passed all my exams, and with better grades than before! On top of that, I have mastered a very good study method now, which I am confident will help me earn my degree.
What is the difference between the critical path and critical chain method?
What is the key of CCM scheduling? When is this relevant?
What are means for resource leveling?
- changing timing of activities
- apply resources to critical path activities
- change project schedule (evenings, weekends, adding shifts)
- change resources, tools, equipment etc.
What do we mean with reverse resource allocation scheduling?
For which activities is resource smoothing value adding?
What is the trick with duration compression?
What are the two methods for activity duration compression?
- Crashing: adding more resources to the critical path activities, with a consequence of more costs
- Fast-tracking: changing the relationship of activities (e.g. paralleling rather than sequencing), with a consequence of more risk
What is the purpose of simulations?
- They allow the project manager to examine the feasibility of the project schedule under different conditions, variables, and events.
- They allow the project team to create responses to feasible situations, so that when the situation occurs the project team is ready
When is a project considered to be final?
What formats are recognized for a project schedule?
- Project Network Diagram
- Bar Charts
- Milestone Charts
- Schedule Baseline
- Schedule Data
What do we mean with updating the resource requirements?
The question on the page originate from the summary of the following study material:
- A unique study and practice tool
- Never study anything twice again
- Get the grades you hope for
- 100% sure, 100% understanding
