Why Network Diagrams? Splits up the decision making process
into Method/logic - the order in which tasks
have to be completed Time – estimates for the time to
completion can be added to each task Resources – these can be added and then
analysis carried out

Resources Resources may be: Storable
Remains available if not used and is only depleted by usage
Examples? Non-Storable
Availability has to be renewed for each time period
Examples?
![Page 5: Project Management Lecture Resource Analysis. Introduction Project planning Gantt chart and WBS Project planning Network analysis I Project planning Network.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649d3f5503460f94a18c98/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Loading The assignment of work to an
operator, machine or department When too much work is required of a
resource it is overloaded If too little work is assigned to a resource
it is underloaded What are the implications if a
resource is underloaded?
![Page 6: Project Management Lecture Resource Analysis. Introduction Project planning Gantt chart and WBS Project planning Network analysis I Project planning Network.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649d3f5503460f94a18c98/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Limits Time limited projects – Projects where
time is the overriding factor They must be completed by a certain date
Resource limited projects – Limited resources are available to complete the project
Think about the relationship between time and resources in a project?
![Page 7: Project Management Lecture Resource Analysis. Introduction Project planning Gantt chart and WBS Project planning Network analysis I Project planning Network.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649d3f5503460f94a18c98/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Units of resource It is desirable when possible to state the
work required in units of time. (i.e. person/machine hours)
Example To dig a hole 4m x 4m x 6m = 96m3 will take
one person 12 hours. So 96m3 = 12 person hours of digging Or 1 person hour of digging = 8m3
How long would it take 12 persons to dig the hole?
![Page 8: Project Management Lecture Resource Analysis. Introduction Project planning Gantt chart and WBS Project planning Network analysis I Project planning Network.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649d3f5503460f94a18c98/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Units of resource Most tasks will NOT have a linear
relationship between the units of resource employed and the activity duration
IS Team working factors? Communication overhead? Increased likelihood of sickness?

Different types of resource It is likely that more than on type of
resource is being consumed by a project
For three types of resource we need three histograms
(See example in Lockyer and Gordon)
![Page 20: Project Management Lecture Resource Analysis. Introduction Project planning Gantt chart and WBS Project planning Network analysis I Project planning Network.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649d3f5503460f94a18c98/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Resource Analysis The same approach can be used to
calculate the: Cumulative Resource Requirements Average Resource Requirements (using
earliest start and latest start)
See (Lockyer and Gordon, 1996)
![Page 21: Project Management Lecture Resource Analysis. Introduction Project planning Gantt chart and WBS Project planning Network analysis I Project planning Network.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649d3f5503460f94a18c98/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Levelling Resources Resources can be levelled by:
Moving activities with float Splitting up activities
Only really effective for those with float Mooving activities with no float
Trade-off between extending project duration and reducing resource costs
Sometimes there is no choice
![Page 22: Project Management Lecture Resource Analysis. Introduction Project planning Gantt chart and WBS Project planning Network analysis I Project planning Network.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649d3f5503460f94a18c98/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Levelling Resources After resource levelling the Activity
Network must be reviewed Some tasks will now have no usable float
(due to resource constraints) This can be indicated by using “dummy”
activities such as “Waiting for programmer availability”
It is likely that more than on type of resource is being consumed by a task
![Page 23: Project Management Lecture Resource Analysis. Introduction Project planning Gantt chart and WBS Project planning Network analysis I Project planning Network.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649d3f5503460f94a18c98/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Project Effort Estimation Need to know:
Usual efficiency of working Sickness/absenteeism rate Other existing commitments (e.g. other
projects) Additional tasks (e.g. routine maintenance) Holidays Constraints on Facilities (e.g. availability of labs) Cost of and availability of overtime etc.
![Page 24: Project Management Lecture Resource Analysis. Introduction Project planning Gantt chart and WBS Project planning Network analysis I Project planning Network.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649d3f5503460f94a18c98/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Software Effort Estimation Needs Historical Data KLOC is not a good measure on its
own Complexity of the software can effect
time taken for development E.g. more efficient algorithms will take
longer to design
![Page 25: Project Management Lecture Resource Analysis. Introduction Project planning Gantt chart and WBS Project planning Network analysis I Project planning Network.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649d3f5503460f94a18c98/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Laws of Estimation Parkinson’s Law
“Work expands to fill the time available” Brookes’ Law
“putting more people on a late job makes it later”
![Page 26: Project Management Lecture Resource Analysis. Introduction Project planning Gantt chart and WBS Project planning Network analysis I Project planning Network.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649d3f5503460f94a18c98/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
