1)The development of the time management plan
Laying the Groundwork for Project Scheduling .This chapter dives into the essential steps to take before scheduling your project. We'll begin by emphasizing the importance of developing a project time management plan outlining the necessary documents to create a sound project schedule.
Next, we'll explore critical aspects that influence scheduling, including:
 Scheduling Standards & Guidelines: Established frameworks for consistent scheduling practices.
 Scheduling Methods: Different approaches to project scheduling (e.g., critical path method).
 Scheduling Techniques: Specific tactics used within chosen methods (e.g., activity crashing).
 Scheduling Tools & Software: Available technologies to aid in scheduling tasks.
 Scheduling Levels: Granularity of the schedule (summary vs. detailed).
 Scheduling Types: Different scheduling approaches based on project needs (e.g., forward pass scheduling).
Finally, we'll delve into the impact of business environment factors, processes, and assets on project scheduling. These factors all contribute to creating a reliable and predictable project timeline.
2) Defining the Activities
This chapter gets down to the nuts and bolts of crafting a practice-oriented project schedule. I will equip you with the tools and techniques to define activities in a way that drives real-world success.
Here, you'll gain a firm grasp of the Product Breakdown Structure (PBS), Work Breakdown Structure (WBS), Statement of Work (SOW), and work packages. We'll explore how these tools work together to create a practical, actionable schedule.
We'll delve into decomposition techniques – the secret sauce for breaking down large tasks into manageable, executable steps. Finally, we'll discuss how leveraging the expertise of relevant professionals plays a crucial role in creating a realistic and achievable schedule.
For a practical demonstration, I've defined the activities involved in developing the outlined construction activities for a floor, divided into four parts, on an offshore oil and gas platform – both presented clearly and accompanied by illustrative figures. These examples will showcase how the concepts translate into practical scheduling applications.
3) Scheduling the Activities
Chapter 3 takes us from defining activities to orchestrating their execution. This is where the magic happens – we delve into scheduling and timing those activities to create a critical path schedule. Here, you'll learn how to arrange activities efficiently using the critical path method.
But that's not all! We'll also explore alternative scheduling techniques like the Critical Chain Method and estimation methods like the Three-Point Estimate and Monte Carlo simulation.
Beyond the technical aspects, we'll discuss the crucial concept of relationship dependencies. This covers various types of provisions, like required, preferred, and internal/external, ensuring your activities are appropriately linked. Finally, we'll explore techniques for promoting collaboration and cooperation, fostering a thriving project environment.
4) Estimating the Resources
Equipping Your Project - Resource Allocation
While "estimating" is a common term, this chapter focuses on the crucial task of resource allocation for your project schedule. This involves assigning the necessary people, equipment, materials, and other resources to each activity.
Building upon the solid foundation laid in previous chapters (time management plan, activity definition, and scheduling), we'll now ensure your project has the tools and manpower it needs to succeed. Resource allocation is a distinct step from cost estimation, which falls under the cost management plan.
5) Estimating Activity Duration
Nail Down Your Schedule: The Art of Practical Activity Duration Estimation
Forget fancy jargon – this chapter is all about getting accurate with activity duration estimation. The PMBOK Guide defines it as an educated guess on how long a task will take, not an exact science. But hey, even educated guesses can be pretty darn accurate when you know what you're doing!
Here's why this matters: accurate lead time estimates are the building blocks of a reliable and predictable project schedule. In this chapter, we'll ditch the theoretical fluff and dive into practical, hands-on techniques to supercharge your estimation skills. We'll draw from the PMBOK Guide as a foundation but focus on real-world applications and practical examples to take your project scheduling to the next level.
6) Schedule optimization
Beyond Crashing and Fast-Tracking: Optimizing Your Project Schedule for Value
While familiar techniques like crashing and fast-tracking can shorten a project's timeline, there's a broader perspective to consider. Project schedules are not just about staying on budget and hitting deadlines. As Stephen Devaux emphasizes, projects are investments. Stakeholders expect a return on their investment, whether it's increased revenue, improved services, or long-term growth for the company.
This chapter delves into a range of schedule optimization techniques that move beyond a purely defensive strategy. We'll explore options that not only compress the schedule but also maximize project value and benefits.
7) Developing the Project Schedule
Pulling It All Together: Building Your Master Project Schedule
This chapter marks a pivotal moment – we're ready to assemble the puzzle pieces and create your master project schedule. Here, we'll integrate the results of all our previous efforts: ranked activities, estimated resources with their constraints, and activity durations.
Building a robust schedule model is an iterative process. It's rarely a one-shot deal. Be prepared to analyze, adjust, and re-analyze as you fine-tune the schedule to meet project milestones and constraints.
But don't worry, analytical ninjas! This chapter empowers you to hone your scheduling skills. You'll learn to identify potential issues and optimize the schedule for maximum efficiency. There's no need to completely disconnect from the outside world – we'll guide you through a focused, step-by-step approach.
8) Performance review reporting
Mastering Project Performance Reviews: Tools and Techniques for Success
Tired of struggling with project performance reviews? This guide equips you with the knowledge and practical skills needed to confidently monitor, analyze, and report on project progress.
Go beyond the basics:
Understand the core principles of performance review from the PMBOK® Guide.
Learn to leverage powerful tools like Primavera P6® for efficient tracking.
Discover how to create insightful reports that inform key stakeholders.
Benefits Performance Index (BPI)
Sadly, the BFI is not part of the tracking layouts as provided with Primavera P6, and in the PMBOK GUIDE seventh edition, pages 100 and 101 have the baseline performance, which we have mentioned and described with practical-oriented examples, but the mention of the benefits on value is missing. One day, it will come.
Practical Wisdom takes time to settle in the hectic world where just about everything is leveraged to gain success, remuneration, and benefits, and we do not seem to have a standard for information in the deliverable measures. here, again, is the description and the explanation!
Benefits Performance Index.(BPI) is the measure of the benefits efficiency as expressed as the ratio of the Planned benefits to the Actual benefits. The equation is BPI=PB/AB. The equasion is BPI= PB/AB whereby greater than 1.0 is under, exactly 1.0= on planned benefits and less than 1.0 over planned benefits.
Benefit from:
Reliable performance data: Gain a clear understanding of your project's status and identify potential risks early.
Data-driven decisions: Make informed choices based on accurate performance metrics.
Clear and actionable reports: Communicate project progress effectively to stakeholders.
Stop the guesswork and start mastering project performance reviews.
Bonus: Learn how to quickly transform data into compelling graphs and presentations for maximum impact.
This short view highlights the guide's focus on practical tools and techniques, emphasizes the benefits of effective performance reviews, and finishes with a solid call to action. It avoids overly technical language but conveys the guide's value proposition clearly. ×
