Project Planning and Control
 Definition of Project Management
 Work Breakdown Structure
 Critical Path Scheduling
 Ideal Completion Time
• Time vs. Cost tradeoffs

3. 3
Project Management
 Project
• series of related jobs usually directed toward
some major output and requiring a significant
period of time to perform.
 Project Management
• planning, directing, and controlling resources
(people, equipment, material) to meet the
technical, cost, and time constraints of the
project.
• Project or Program?

Project Management
 Personal Life  Work-related

5. 5
Ways to manage project
complexity
 Limit changes once
project begins
 Goal orientation
(completion date
focus)
 Attempt to reduce
uncertainty
 Expediters
 Constantly update
information

Work Breakdown Structure
 Allow the elements to be worked on
independently
 Make them manageable in size
 Give authority to carry out the program
 Monitor and measure the program
 Provide the required resources

Critical Path Scheduling
 A project must have:
• well-defined jobs or
tasks whose
completion marks the
end of the project;
• independent jobs or
tasks;
• and tasks that follow a
given sequence.

CPM with Single Time Estimate
Consider the following HR consulting project:
Develop a critical path diagram and determine the
duration of the critical path and slack times for all
activities

Critical Path & Slack
slack = amount of flexibility = LS-ES or LF-EF
Critical path= completion time of the project (project bottleneck). Connect all
points on path which have no slack

Time-Cost Models
 Basic Assumption: Relationship
between activity completion time and
project cost
 Time Cost Models: Determine the
optimum point in time-cost tradeoffs
• Activity direct costs
• Project indirect costs
• Activity completion times

18. 18
Time-cost Trade-off
“Crashing” a project
 Prepare a CPM-type network diagram
 Determine the cost per unit of time (usually
assume days) to expedite each activity.
NT=normal time CT= crash time
NC=normal cost CC=crash cost
 cost to crash each day = (CC-NC)/(NT-CT)
 Compute critical path
 Shorten the critical path at the least cost
 Determine the minimum cost schedule.

Cost Trade-offs
 The contractor will get a $100,000 bonus for
completing the project within 25 weeks. Some of
the activities can be shortened, but will cost
more:
• Activity D: $10,000 per week for up to 3 weeks
• Activity E: $8,000 per week for up to 1 week
• Activity H: $6,000 per week for up to 1 week
• Activity I: $8,000 per week for up to 1 week
 What should he/she do?
