What Is a Project?
• A project is “a temporary endeavor (effort) undertaken to create a unique product, service, or result.”*create a unique product, service, or result.
• Operations is work done to sustain the business.
• A project ends when its objectives have been reached, or the project has been terminated.
• Projects can be large or small and take a short or long time to complete

Project Management and Project Life Cycle
What is Project Management?
Project management is “the application of knowledge, skills, tools and techniques to project activities to meet project requirements.”*
• Conception: identify the need (Start)
• Feasibility analysis or study: costs benefits, and risks
• Planning: who, how long, what to do?
• Execution: doing the project
• Termination: ending the project

The five stages of a project
A project management life cycle (PMLC) is a sequence
of processes that includes:of processes that includes:■ Scoping
■ Planning
■ Launching
■ Monitoring and controlling
■ Closing

Characteristics of a Project
• A unique, one-time effort
• Requires the completion of a large number of interrelated activities
• Resources, such as time and/or money, are limited
• Typically has its own management structure
Islamic University, Gaza - Palestine
Project Management
• A project manager is appointed to head the project management team
• The team members are drawn from various departments and are temporarily assigned to the project
• The team is responsible for planning, scheduling and controlling the project to its completion

Network Planning Techniques
• Program Evaluation & Review Technique (PERT):Developed to manage the Polaris missile project– Developed to manage the Polaris missile project
– Many tasks pushed the boundaries of science & engineering (tasks’ duration = probabilistic)
• Critical Path Method (CPM):– Developed to coordinate maintenance projects in the
chemical industry
– A complex undertaking, but individual tasks are routine (tasks’ duration = deterministic)
Islamic University, Gaza - Palestine
Both PERT and CPM
• Graphically display the precedence relationships & sequence of
activities
• Estimate the project’s duration
• Identify critical activities that cannot be delayed without delaying
the project
• Estimate the amount of slack associated with non-critical
activities
12

Critical Path Method (CPM)
• Designed to provide intense micro-control
• The system is dynamic; it continues to provide periodicThe system is dynamic; it continues to provide periodic reports as the project progresses

CPM Terminology
• Activity– A task or a certain amount of work required in the project– Requires time to complete– Represented by an arrow
• Dummy Activity– Indicates only precedence relationships– Does not require any time of effort
• Event– Signals the beginning or ending of an activity– Designates a point in time– Represented by a circle (node)

• Network– Shows the sequential relationships among activities using
CPM Terminology (cont.)
Shows the sequential relationships among activities using nodes and arrows
• Path– A connected sequence of activities leading from the starting
event to the ending event
• Critical PathThe longest path (time); determines the project duration– The longest path (time); determines the project duration
• Critical Activities– All of the activities that make up the critical path

• Earliest Start (ES)– The earliest that an activity can begin; assumes all
CPM Terminology (cont.)
The earliest that an activity can begin; assumes all preceding activities have been completed
• Earliest Finish (EF)– ES + activity time
• Latest Finish (LF)– The latest that an activity can finish and not change the
project completion time

Steps in CPM Analysis
• Draw the CPM network– A graphic view of the relationships among the requiredA graphic view of the relationships among the required
activities
• Analyze the paths through the network– Determine the length of each path (the time required to
complete each path)
– Starting at the beginning of the network and working toward the end (from left to right), determine the ES and the EF for each activityeach activity
• Path analysis (continued)– Identify the critical path(s) (the longest path[s] through the
network)
– The critical path(s) determines how long the project will take. . . more
Islamic University, Gaza - Palestine
• Determine the slack for each activity
Steps in CPM Analysis
y– Working from the end of the project network (from right to
left), find the LF and the LS for each activity
– Compute the activity’s slack
slack = LS - ES = LF – EF
– Slack is the maximum amount of time that this activity can be delay in its completion before it becomes a critical activity, i e delays completion of the projecti.e., delays completion of the project

Program Evaluation & Review Technique (PERT)
• The technique is based on the assumption that an ti it ’ d ti f ll b bilit di t ib tiactivity’s duration follows a probability distribution
instead of being a single value.
• The probabilistic information about the activities is translated into probabilistic information about the project.

Single Point Estimate and Three Point Estimates
• Single Point Estimate– We take a single estimate per taskWe take a single estimate per task
• Three point Estimate– We take three estimates per task
• Optimistic Estimate – Best Case Scenario
• Pessimistic Estimate – Worst Case Scenario
• Most Likely Estimate
– Average the three estimates to get a three point estimate

Three-Point Estimates
• Instead of providing activity estimates as a discrete number, such as four weeks, it’s often helpful to create a , , pthree-point estimate:
– An estimate that includes an optimistic, most likely, and pessimistic estimate, such as three weeks for the optimistic, four weeks for the most likely, and five weeks for the pessimistic estimate.
• Three-point estimates are needed for PERT estimates.
42
• Six point Estimates
• (PERT: Project Evaluation & Review Techniques)
22
Islamic University, Gaza - Palestine
• Three point Estimate
Three-Point Estimate: Example
Three point Estimate Example:– Optimistic = 6 hours
– Pessimistic = 10 hours
– Most Likely = 8 hours
• The three point estimate is(6+10+8)/3 = 8 hours( )
Islamic University, Gaza - Palestine
Six-point Estimate (PERT)
– We take three estimates per task• Optimistic Estimate – Best Case Scenario
• Pessimistic Estimate – Worst Case Scenario
• Most Likely Estimate
– Multiply the Most Likely estimate by 4, add to the Optimistic and Pessimistic estimates and divide by 6
(Pert Estimate: E = (o + 4m + p) / 6 )
23
Islamic University, Gaza - Palestine
Example:
Six-Point Estimate (PERT): Example
p– Optimistic = 6 hours
– Pessimistic = 10 hours
– Most Likely = 8 hours
• The six point estimate is(6+10+4x8)/6 = 8 hours
Islamic University, Gaza - Palestine
PERT
• Three time estimates are required to compute the parameters of an activity’s duration distribution:parameters of an activity s duration distribution:– pessimistic time (tp ) - the time the activity would take if
things did not go well
– most likely time (tm ) - the consensus best estimate of the activity’s duration
– optimistic time (to ) - the time the activity would take if things did go well
• More• . . . More
24
Islamic University, Gaza - Palestine
• From these three time estimates about an activity, two probability distribution parameters are calculated: the
PERT
probability distribution parameters are calculated: the mean (te ) and the variance (Vt ).
te = ( to + 4tm + tp ) / 6
Vt = [ ( tp - to ) / 6 ] 2

Steps in PERT Analysis
• Draw the network.Draw the network.
• Analyze the paths through the network and find the critical path.
• The length of the critical path is the mean of the project duration probability distribution which is assumed to be normal.

Activity Cost-Time Tradeoffs
• Project managers may have the option or requirement to h th j t l t th l ti f thcrash the project, or accelerate the completion of the
project.
• This is accomplished by reducing the length of the critical path(s).
• The length of the critical path is reduced by reducing the duration of the activities on the critical path.

• If each activity requires the expenditure of an amount of money to reduce its duration by one unit of time, then the
Activity Cost-Time Tradeoffs
project manager selects the least cost critical activity, reduces it by one time unit, and traces that change through the remainder of the network.
• As a result of a reduction in an activity’s time, a new critical path may be created.
• When there is more than one critical path each of the• When there is more than one critical path, each of the critical paths must be reduced.
• If the length of the project needs to be reduced further, the process is repeated.

Evaluation of CPM/PERT
• Activities are assumed to be independent.
• It is assumed that there is a precise breaking point where one activity ends and another begins.
• Initially-critical activities might not receive the attention they deserve until it is too late.
• Activity time estimates might be biased.
• The cost of CPM/PERT might not be justified by the value of the information it provides.
• Personnel might not understand the statistical underpinnings of PERT.
