It gives you a precise time of each step of the project. 3. It gives you good view of which steps are the main or additional. 4. It provides exact prospective of which step depends on the other. Advantages of Gantt Charts. 5. It creates a picture of complexity. We think in pictures. Therefore‚ if we can

Department A is performing a system upgrade project with the following tasks‚ duration and task dependency relationships. Critical Path Method (CPM) The critical path method (CPM) is a step-by-step technique for process planning that defines

PERT/CPM Project management triangle is the symbol that represents the money‚ time and scope items in a project‚ which has been modeled by Harold Kerzner. Given the wide range of project management tools available‚ the key to selecting the right one is to understand that different tools are needed along the different stages of a project life cycle. Graphical displays such as gantt-charts usually make the information easy to identify; and we can easily use it for tracking cost‚ schedule and performance

The Program Evaluation and Run Technique (PERT) chart is a model for project management. It is a tool designed to represent the tasks involved in a project and analyze the time required for completion during the project management life cycle. It also helps to identify the minimum time required to complete the project. It was developed to simplify the planning and scheduling of a project where all the details and durations of the activities are not known at the start itself. It is used especially

Gantt charts have become a common technique for representing the phases and activities of a project work breakdown structure (WBS)‚ so they can be understood by a wide audience all over the world. The technique is frequently used in Project Management to help breakdown the project.[5] A common error made by those who equate Gantt chart design with project design is that they attempt to define the project work breakdown structure at the same time that they define scheduled activities. This practice

INTRODUCTION This paper describes the use of a simple hands-on case in undergraduate classes to teach the concepts of a traditional PERT/CPM and Critical Chain project management techniques. A simple six-activity project is used to illustrate: the identification of project activities‚ development of activity time estimates‚ the development of the project network‚ the development of the PERT/CPM critical path and the probability of on-time completion using the critical path‚ the development of the critical chain
