Project Management With Pert / CPM

PERT/CPM are network techniques used to plan, schedule, and control projects. They involve breaking projects down into activities, estimating activity times, and sequencing activities to determine the critical path that represents the longest path through the project with no slack. PERT/CPM are commonly used for construction, R&D, government, and other complex projects to help ensure they are completed on schedule.

PROJECT

MANAGEMENT
WITH PERT / CPM
Program Evaluation and Review Technique
(PERT)/ Critical Path Method (CPM)
 Network techniques used for project analysis
 Widely used for project to help plan and
display the coordination of all activities of the
project
 There are available software packages
(Project Management Software, MS Project,
etc.)
Program Evaluation and Review Technique
(PERT)/ Critical Path Method (CPM)
 Used for a variety of projects that include:
 Construction of a new plant
 Research and development of a new product
 NASA space exploration projects
 Movie productions
 Building a ship
 Government-sponsored projects for developing a new weapons system
 Relocation of a major facility
 Maintenance of a nuclear reactor
 Installation of a management information system
 Conducting an advertising campaign
Elements of Project Management
 Planning
 Scheduling
 Control
Project Planning
 Objectives. A detailed statement of what is to be accomplished
by the project, how it will achieve the company's goals and meets
the strategic plan, and an estimate of when it needs to be
completed, the cost, and the return.
Project scope. A discussion of how to approach the project, the
technological and resource feasibility, the major tasks involved,
and a preliminary schedule; it includes a justification of the project
and what constitutes project success.
Project Planning
Contract requirements. A general structure of managerial,
reporting, and performance responsibilities, including a detailed
list of staff, suppliers, subcontractors, managerial requirements
and agreements, reporting requirements, and a projected
organizational structure.
Schedules. A list of all major events, tasks, and sub schedules,
from which a master schedule is developed.
Project Planning
Resources. The overall project budget for all resource requirements
and procedures for budgetary control.
Personnel. Identification and recruitment of personnel required for
the project team, including special skills and training.
Control Procedures for monitoring and evaluating progress and
performance, including schedules and cost.
Risk and problem analysis. Anticipation and assessment of
uncertainties, problems, and potential difficulties that might increase
the risk of project delays and/or failure and threaten project success.
Project Team
are made up of individuals from various areas and
departments within a company .
The most important member of a project team is the
project manager
Scope Statement
 a document that provides a common understanding of a
project. It includes a project justification and the expected
results
A similar planning document is the statement of work
(SOW)
Work Breakdown Structure
 is an organization chart that break down the project into
modules for planning
 It organizes the work to be done on a project by breaking
down the project into its major components, referred to as
modules.
 A WBS helps identify activities and determine individual
tasks, project workloads, and the resources required
Responsibility Assignment Matrix (RAM)
is a table or chart that shows who is responsible for
project work
 A RAM shows who in the organization is responsible for
doing the work in the project
Project Scheduling
typically the most critical element in the project
management process
it is the source of most conflict and problems
the most important criterion for the success of a project
is that it be finished on time
Project Scheduling
Steps in developing a schedule
 Define the activities that must be performed to complete
the project;
Sequence the activities in the order in which they must be
completed;
Estimate the time required to complete each activity;
Develop the schedule based on the sequencing and time
estimates of the activities.
The Gantt Chart
is a traditional management technique for scheduling
and planning small projects that have relatively few
activities and precedence relationships
 is a graph or bar chart with a bar for each project activity
that shows the passage of time
Project Control
is the process of making sure a project progresses toward
successful completion
 Time management is the process of making sure a project
schedule does not slip and that a project is on time
Cost management is often closely tied to time management
because of the time cost trade-off occurrences (slack time
where resources can be shifted from them to activities that are
not on schedule)
Example with PERT/CPM
Project: Building a house
Node Activity Required Time
1 Design house and obtain financing 3 months
2 Lay foundation 2 months
3 Order and receive materials 1 month
4 Build house 4 months

5 Select paint 1 month


6 Select carpet 1 month
7 Finish work 1 month
