What is a Project?
A project is a (temporary) sequence of unique, complex, and
connected activities that have one goal or purpose and that
must be completed by a specific time within budget, and
according to specification.

Scheduling
• A schedule is the conversion of a project action plan into an operating timetable
• It serves as the basis for monitoring and controlling project activity
– work changes daily, so this is essential
• With the plan and budget, it is the major tool for the management of projects
– most scheduling is at the WBS level (tasks), not the work package level
– only the most critical work packages may be shown on schedule
![Page 5: Project Scheduling: Gantt/Pert Charts - 1.cdn.edl.io fileNetwork Scheduling Techniques • PERT was developed in 1958 for the Polaris missile/submarine project • The Critical Path](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022022620/5baf2b7309d3f2a8728b4c24/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Network Scheduling Techniques
• PERT was developed in 1958 for the Polaris missile/submarine project
• The Critical Path Method (CPM) was developed by DuPont during the same time period
• Initially, CPM and PERT were two different approaches
– CPM used deterministic time estimates and allowed project crunching
– PERT used probabilistic time estimates
• Microsoft Project (and others) have blended CPM and PERT into one approach
![Page 6: Project Scheduling: Gantt/Pert Charts - 1.cdn.edl.io fileNetwork Scheduling Techniques • PERT was developed in 1958 for the Polaris missile/submarine project • The Critical Path](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022022620/5baf2b7309d3f2a8728b4c24/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Terminology
• Activity - A specific task or set of tasks that are required by the project, use up resources, and take time to complete
• Event - The result of completing one or more activities. An identifiable end state occurring at a particular time. Events use no resources.
• Network - The combination of all activities and events that define a project– Drawn left-to-right
– Connections represent predecessors
![Page 7: Project Scheduling: Gantt/Pert Charts - 1.cdn.edl.io fileNetwork Scheduling Techniques • PERT was developed in 1958 for the Polaris missile/submarine project • The Critical Path](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022022620/5baf2b7309d3f2a8728b4c24/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Terminology Continued
• Path - A series of connected activities
• Critical - An activity, event, or path which, if delayed, will delay the completion of the project
• Critical Path - The path through the project where, if any activity is delayed, the project is delayed– There is always a critical path
– There can be more than one critical path
![Page 8: Project Scheduling: Gantt/Pert Charts - 1.cdn.edl.io fileNetwork Scheduling Techniques • PERT was developed in 1958 for the Polaris missile/submarine project • The Critical Path](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022022620/5baf2b7309d3f2a8728b4c24/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Terminology Continued
• Sequential Activities - One activity must be completed before the next one can begin
• Parallel Activities - The activities can take place at the same time
• Immediate Predecessor – an activity that must be completed before a particular activity can begin
• An activity can be in any of these conditions:
– It may have a successor(s) but no predecessor(s) -starts a network
– It may have a predecessor(s) but no successor(s) -ends a network
– It may have both predecessor(s) and successor(s) - in the middle of a network
![Page 9: Project Scheduling: Gantt/Pert Charts - 1.cdn.edl.io fileNetwork Scheduling Techniques • PERT was developed in 1958 for the Polaris missile/submarine project • The Critical Path](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022022620/5baf2b7309d3f2a8728b4c24/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Terminology Continued
• Activity on Arrow (AOA) - Arrows
represent activities while nodes stand for
events
• Activity on Node (AON) - Nodes stand for
events and arrows show precedence

AON and AOA Format
![Page 11: Project Scheduling: Gantt/Pert Charts - 1.cdn.edl.io fileNetwork Scheduling Techniques • PERT was developed in 1958 for the Polaris missile/submarine project • The Critical Path](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022022620/5baf2b7309d3f2a8728b4c24/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Constructing an AON Diagram
1. Begin with the START activity
2. Add activities without predecessors
– There will always be one
– There may be more than one
3. Add activities that have existing activities
as predecessors
4. Repeat step 3 until no more activities
![Page 12: Project Scheduling: Gantt/Pert Charts - 1.cdn.edl.io fileNetwork Scheduling Techniques • PERT was developed in 1958 for the Polaris missile/submarine project • The Critical Path](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022022620/5baf2b7309d3f2a8728b4c24/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Gantt Charts
• Developed by Henry L. Gantt in 1917
• Shows planned and actual progress
• Easy-to-read method to show current status
![Page 13: Project Scheduling: Gantt/Pert Charts - 1.cdn.edl.io fileNetwork Scheduling Techniques • PERT was developed in 1958 for the Polaris missile/submarine project • The Critical Path](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022022620/5baf2b7309d3f2a8728b4c24/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

• The Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) can take a
variety of forms that serve a variety of purposes
– The total program can be described as a summation of
subdivided elements.
– Planning can be performed.
– Costs and budgets can be established.
– Time, cost, and performance can be tracked.
– Schedules and status-reporting procedures can be
established. (=> Gantt chart)
– Responsibility for each element can be assigned.
The Work Breakdown Structure
![Page 18: Project Scheduling: Gantt/Pert Charts - 1.cdn.edl.io fileNetwork Scheduling Techniques • PERT was developed in 1958 for the Polaris missile/submarine project • The Critical Path](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022022620/5baf2b7309d3f2a8728b4c24/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

The Work Breakdown Structure - 2
• The WBS often appears as an outline with
Level 1 tasks on the left and successive
levels appropriately indented
• The WBS may picture a project subdivided
into hierarchical units of tasks, subtasks,
work packages, etc.
![Page 20: Project Scheduling: Gantt/Pert Charts - 1.cdn.edl.io fileNetwork Scheduling Techniques • PERT was developed in 1958 for the Polaris missile/submarine project • The Critical Path](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022022620/5baf2b7309d3f2a8728b4c24/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Most common type: Six-Level Indented Structure
LEVEL DESCRIPTION1 Total Program
2 Project(s)
3 Task(s)
4 Subtask(s)
5 Work Package(s)
6 Level of Effort
Usually specified by the
client and managed the
project manager.
Usually specified
by the functional
manager(s).

• Summary: The WBS is an important document and
can be tailored for use in a number of different ways
– It may illustrate how each piece contributes to the project in
terms of performance, responsibility, schedule, and budget
– It may list the vendors or subcontractors associated with
specific tasks
– It may serve as the basis for cost or schedule estimates
– It may be used to document that all parties have signed off
on their various commitments to the project

![Page 24: Project Scheduling: Gantt/Pert Charts - 1.cdn.edl.io fileNetwork Scheduling Techniques • PERT was developed in 1958 for the Polaris missile/submarine project • The Critical Path](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022022620/5baf2b7309d3f2a8728b4c24/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Steps for designing and using the WBS:
1. Using the action plan, list the task breakdown in successively
finer levels of detail. Continue until all meaningful tasks or
work packages have been identified.
2. For each such work package, identify the data relevant to the
WBS: personnel and organizations responsible for each task.
3. All work package information should be reviewed with the
individuals or organizations who have responsibility for doing
or supporting the work to verify the accuracy of the WBS

Critical Path and Time
Notation:
[Task name, expected time, variance]
![Page 30: Project Scheduling: Gantt/Pert Charts - 1.cdn.edl.io fileNetwork Scheduling Techniques • PERT was developed in 1958 for the Polaris missile/submarine project • The Critical Path](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022022620/5baf2b7309d3f2a8728b4c24/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Critical Path Calculation
To find the critical path:
1.start with set of children of the Start node
2.for each node: use the earliest start time (the greatest
“earliest finish time of all this node’s predecessors), add in
the duration to calculate the earliest finish time
3.repeat step 2 for the children of each node in the set
![Page 31: Project Scheduling: Gantt/Pert Charts - 1.cdn.edl.io fileNetwork Scheduling Techniques • PERT was developed in 1958 for the Polaris missile/submarine project • The Critical Path](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022022620/5baf2b7309d3f2a8728b4c24/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Slack Calculation
To find the slack:
1. start with End node and note its LS time
2. for each predecessor node: set the LF time to the
lowest LS time of the successor(s) and subtract the
duration to get the EF time
3. repeat step 2 for the children of each node in the set

Notes:
• a is the optimistic estimate
• b is the pessimistic estimate
• m is an estimate of the mode
• TE is a calculation of the
mean
• σ2 is the variance; a
representation of the
uncertainty
• σ is the standard deviation

Uncertainty of Project
Completion Time
• Assume activities are statistically
independent
– is this reasonable?
• The variance of a set of activities is the sum
of the individual variances
• We are most interested in variances along
the critical path!
![Page 39: Project Scheduling: Gantt/Pert Charts - 1.cdn.edl.io fileNetwork Scheduling Techniques • PERT was developed in 1958 for the Polaris missile/submarine project • The Critical Path](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022022620/5baf2b7309d3f2a8728b4c24/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Fun With Statistics!
• What is the probability of completing a
project on time, given a measure of variance
and a critical path?
• We can answer that by calculating Z (# of
standard deviations) as follows:
Z = (D - ) /
where D = desired project completion time
= critical time of the project
= variance of the critical path

Example - 2.
• The likelihood of completing the project in
50 days is 88.88% (see Table next slide)
• If we want 95% certainty of on-time
completion:
D = μ + σ * Z
= 43 + 5.745 * 1.645 = 52.45 days
• For 99% certainty
D = 43 + 5.745 * 2.33 = 56.39 days

Implications
• As D => μ, Z => 0
• When Z = 0, probability of on-time completion is 50%
• Implication?
– If you want a high probability of being on time, you need some slack in the schedule!
• What about non-critical paths?
– Any path that has low slack and significant variance is a potential trouble spot.

Implications - 2.
• This is a great tool for you as a manager!
• Your boss will want estimates. What is your basis for making them? Guesses?

In Class Group Exercise Look at the WBS that you created for your project.
From this, create a Gantt chart for your project.
Determine the durations and dependencies for each of
your project tasks.
You only need to do “expected” duration for now.

In-class Group Exercise - 2
Calculate the total duration for your group project (and,
hence, your critical path).
Now, create a spreadsheet. For each project task, list:
its optimistic, pessimistic, and expected durations
you will have to do some educated guessing at this stage;
that is normal
