Chap 7 Realistic Scheduling

IDENTIFY TASK RELATIONSHIP

Arrange the order of work packages and set milestone as useful marker –
For my project, I need to breakdown the individual functions among design, backend support and system integration and then further verify what’s the associated relationship

ESTIMATE WORK PACKAGE

Total amount of labor and equipment need to allocate for the project. Also include finding the balance of among cost, schedule and quality of the project.

MILESTONE

To highlight the breakthrough of major tasks being accomplished.

My project embedded 4 major milestones

COST ESTIMATION

CRITICAL PATH

Define as the task cannot have extra hours being spent otherwise the original schedule will be revised. This means any of tasks in this path with zero or negative float.

RESOURCE LEVELING

Identify resource peaks and redistribute the resource make job more productive without affecting the due date.
