Kerzner, Harold R. Project management: a systems approach to planning, scheduling, and controlling. John Wiley & Sons, 2013.

In planning a project, the project manager must structure the work into small elements that are:

Manageable, in that specific authority and

responsibility can be assigned,

Independent, or with minimum interfacing with

and dependence on other ongoing elements,

Integratable so that total package can be seen,

Measurable in terms of progress,

Deliverables are major project components

Sub-deliverables are supporting deliverables

The project is the overall project under development

• Resource-leveling aims at the construction of a

precedence and resource feasible schedule within a

deadline with a resource use that is as level as possible.

• In order to avoid jumps from peaks to low resource

demands, the total use of all resources needs to be

balanced over the total schedule horizon.

• Minimize the absolute or squared deviation of the

resource use from a given resource availability
