Title
Successful Project Management Scheduling outcomes: A Theoretical Comparative Analysis of networking techniques between Event, Chain with other traditional methodologies
Research Question
Why it is important to conduct a comparative analysis of Event, Chain with other traditional methodologies and investigate how it contributes in being Successful scheduling techniques in Project Management discipline?
Introduction to Dissertation
Nowadays, Project scheduling plays lot of benefactor in executing any type of project in allotted time and cost. Project scheduling is a vital stage in project development phase due to technological advancement in information technology where lot of IT projects have led different way of direction to prepare a project schedule involving all possible resources and risk factors are also prepared to so that project does not crash. The purpose of this research thesis is to comparatively analyse the various networking scheduling techniques that constitute to a successful project management outcome. There are lot of software’s have come in the market to prepare project schedule, but lacks theoretical aspect. Project management professionals experts like project managers have the idea about what is all about, so the author decides to study the various networking scheduling techniques with the scope of risk management.
Kerzner (2001) states, “management is continually selling now and better control techniques to cope with the complexities, masses of data and tight deadlines that are characteristics of many industries and their highly competitive environments todays, as well as seeking better methods for presenting technical and cost data to customer”
The most common scheduling techniques are:
Gantt or bar charts
Milestone charts
Line of balance
Network schedules:
a. Program Evaluation review technique (PERT)
b. Critical Path Method (CPM)
c. Precedence diagram method (PDM)
d. Graphical Evaluation and
