Introducing Project Time Management - Sequencing Project Activities
6 important questions on Introducing Project Time Management - Sequencing Project Activities
How can activity sequencing be accomplished?
- Computer driven
- Manual process - easier to move around activities and dependencies
- Blended approach - although a final sequence should at some point be determined
What are the inputs for activity sequencing for the project team?
- The schedule management plan - defines and directs the process of sequencing the activities
- The activity list
- Activity attributes - e.g. successor and predecessor
- Milestone list
- The project scope statement
- Organizational process assets - e..g historical information
What is the most common way of creating a network diagram?
- Higher grades + faster learning
- Never study anything twice
- 100% sure, 100% understanding
What kind of relationships are distinguished in a PDM?
- FS - finish to start - task A must be completed before task B can begin
- SS - start to start - task A must start before task B can start
- FF - finish to finish - task A must finish before task B can finish
- SF- start to finish - task A must start before task B can finish (Just-in-time- scheduling)
What kind of dependencies between activities does one recognize?
- Mandatory dependencies (hard logic)
- Discretionary dependencies - preferred order, decisions should be documented (soft logic, preferred logic, preferential logic)
- External dependencies
- Internal dependencies (e.g. developing - testing)
What is the consequence of adding too much lead-time to a project?
- This increases risk. When an abundance of lead time is used the project is often in a rush (rush in quality control, inspections and lead to project rejection from stakeholders)
- Wonky scheduling issues.
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
