Unique item - often a single unit.
Often located on one place. The unit does not
move during production.
Resources are brought to the project.
May be of any size, although we focus on
large projects.
AFF-SBM ITB- Nov 2015
Commonalities between Projects & Operations
Performed by people
Constrained by limited resources
Planned, executed an controlled
Operations and Projects differ
Operations are ongoing and repetitive
Projects are temporary and unique
A Project is a temporary and intensely serious
attempt undertaken to create a unique product or
service
Temporary definite beginning and end
Unique different in some distinguishing
characteristic
Project Management is generally perceived to be
concerned with planning, organization, and control
of an ongoing process or activity
Resources used in projects are time, finance, materials, tools &
machinery, and personnel
AFF-SBM ITB- Nov 2015
Project Management reflects a commitment of
resources and people to a typically important
activity for a relatively short time frame, after which
the management effort is dissolved
Project Management is the application of
knowledge, skills, tools and techniques to project
activities in order to meet or exceed stakeholder
needs and expectations from a project
Meeting or exceeding stakeholder needs and
expectations invariably involves balancing
competing demands among
Scope, time, cost, and quality
Stakeholders with differing needs and expectations
Identified needs and unidentified expectations
Client Relations Challenge

I.
PROJECT PLANNING:
defines the work that
will be done on the
project and who will do
it.
II.
PROJECT SCHEDULING
Estimates and project
schedules (A Part of
project Planning)
AFF-SBM ITB- Nov 2015
11
Identify the project customer
Establish the end product or service
Set project objectives
Estimate total resources and time required
Decide on the form of project organization
Make key personnel appointments
Define major tasks required
Establish a budget
AFF-SBM ITB- Nov 2015
12
Develop a detailed work-breakdown structure
Estimated time required for each task
Sequence tasks in proper order
Develop a start/stop time for each task
Develop detailed budget for each task
Assign people to tasks
AFF-SBM ITB- Nov 2015
13
Monitor actual time, cost, and performance
Compare planned to actual figures
Determine whether corrective action is needed
Evaluate alternative corrective actions
Take appropriate corrective actions
AFF-SBM ITB- Nov 2015
14
When one or more activities threaten the time,
cost, or performance of the project, a
corrective action is necessary:
Redefine the activity (e.g. split the activity).
Add resources to the activity.
Shift resources from one activity to another
Resources = people, equipment, money

Gantt Charts
Shown as a bar charts
Do not show precedence relations
Visual & easy to understand
Network Methods
Shown as a graphs or networks
Show precedence relations
More complex, difficult to understand and costly than
Gantt charts

Activity times are assumed to be constant
Activities are represented by nodes in the
network
Arrows show the precedence relationships
Notations used in calculating start and finish
times:
ES(a) =
EF(a) =
LS(a) =
LF(a) =
Early Start of activity a
Early Finish of activity a
Late Start of activity a
Late Finish of activity a

Forward Pass:
ES (a) = 0 for the starting activity
EF (a) = ES (a) + t (a)*
ES (a) = max [EF (all predecessors of a)]
Project completion time = max [EF(all ending activities)]
Backward pass:
LF (a) = min [LS (all successors of a)]
LS (a) = LF - t(a)*
* t (a) denotes the duration of activity a

Critical Path = longest path in the network
All activities for which ES=LS and EF=LF
Length of critical path is equal to the project
completion time
If there is any delay on the critical path, the project
will be delayed (unless one takes corrective actions)
AFF-SBM ITB- Nov 2015
26
Slack time equals amount of time a path may
be delayed without delaying the project
Paths not on the critical path have slack
Slack = LS-ES or LF-EF

Used under conditions of uncertainty in activity
times
Requires three time estimates for each activity
Optimistic
Most likely
Pessimistic
AFF-SBM ITB- Nov 2015

Critical Path Method
Used under conditions of certainty in activity
times
Requires one time estimate for each activity
Looks at time/cost trade-offs

Focus on most sensitive activities first
Prioritize activity with least unit of crashing cost
Continue the crashing until saturated

Scheduling is only part of a complete approach
to project management
Trade-off between sophistication and cost of
methods
Choice between constant time, PERT, CPM or
more advanced techniques
Choice of project management software
packages (MS Project, Primavera etc)

Project?
Slow but sure
Speed is the name of the game
AFF-SBM ITB- Nov 2015

- Review the Project Life Cycle
- It consists of major items representing the Work Breakdown Structure
- Draw the curve with x line as time and y line as cumulative progress
- This represents the so called S - Curve as per original plan
- During its life cycle, monitor the actual progress as to show gaps
between actual achievements versus original plan

Implications of Project Life Cycles
Project life cycle shape will affect the timing
of resource and funding needs
Understanding the general project life cycle
may help the stakeholders better
understand and accept the current status of
the project
Understanding the general project life cycle
may also help the PM make better goal
tradeoff decisions at particular times during
the project

Risk management planning: how to approach and
plan the risk management activities
Risk identification: determine risks affecting the
project and documenting their characteristics
Risk analysis: perform quantitative/qualitative
analysis and evaluate the effects to objectives
Risk response planning: develop procedure and
techniques to enhance opportunities & reduce
threats
Risk monitoring & control: monitor residual risks,
identify new risks & evaluate effectiveness at PLC

Questions:
1.
2.
3.
Total duration?
The scheduled start & finish dates for each
specific activity?
How long can the non critical activities be
delayed before they cause delay in the overall
completion time?
