Sounds logical,

but…….

I have different

opinion on the items

Oct.2003

Or, try to answer these ……..

Planning Phase Execution Phase Handover Review Phase

•How can I make things go according to plan?

•How much time can I spend on this?

•Who has a stake in my project?

•How can I make this idea happen?

•Who needs to be involved

•What will the benefit be?

•What is the project suppose to deliver?

•What is the logical sequence of tasks?

•Who will do what and when?

Oct.2003


Execution Phase Hand over / Review PhasePlanning Phase

•How can I keep everybody happy?•Can somebody else do this?•Who needs to know about changes?

Oct.2003


Execution Phase Hand over / Review PhasePlanning Phase

•Who is the hand over for?•When does hand over take place?•How do I plan for it?•What happen and why?•How can I learn from this?•What recommendation can I make ?

Creating a planning in 6 steps

2. Define Milestones in time

3. List activities and relations

4. Determine Critical Path

5. Define buffers

6. Allocate resources

Step 2. Define Milestones in time

Define critical milestones – where several activities come together– are important for client delivery I.e. start integration,

shipping, first run

Perform backward planning of activities from milestones

Oct.2003

Step 3. List activities and relations

List activities (including the required documents)

Determine time required to finish activities (hours or days of work)

Sequential relationships between activities/ other projects

Step 4. Determine Critical Path

The critical path is the longest chain or path of activities from start up to finish

It is critical because the completion of activities on this path determine whether or not due dates are met

Red pathis critical

Step 5. Determine buffers

Determine of all activities an optimistic, pessimistic and expected time to finish that specific activity

Calculate the variance of:– The critical path between starts and

finishes– The string of activities feeding the

critical path Calculate the buffers

– Feeding buffer just before feeding lineenters critical path (Feeding Buffer is in time)

Fine-tuning of the critical path with resources from non-critical activities or from outside the project (Capacity Buffer)
