Page 16: SECTION 6 PROJECT TIME MANAGEMENT. PROJECT TIME MANAGEMENT

PLAN SCHEDULE MANAGEMENT

• Plan Schedule Management is the process of establishing the policies, procedures, and documentation for planning, developing, managing, executing, and controlling the project schedule.

• The key benefit of this process is that it provides guidance and direction on how the project schedule will be managed throughout the project.

ESTIMATING PROJECT TIMES AND COSTS

• Project estimation is indeed a yardstick for project cost control. And if the yardstick is faulty, you start on the “wrong foot.”…..we exhort you not to underestimate the estimates.(Kharbanda and Pinto, 1996)

Page 49: SECTION 6 PROJECT TIME MANAGEMENT. PROJECT TIME MANAGEMENT

McGraw-Hill/Irwin 5–49

Estimating Projects

• Estimating– The process of forecasting or approximating the

time and cost of completing project deliverables.– The task of balancing the expectations of

stakeholders and the need for control while the project is implemented

• Types of Estimates– Top-down (macro) estimates: analogy, group

consensus, or mathematical relationships– Bottom-up (micro) estimates: estimates of

elements of the work breakdown structure

McGraw-Hill/Irwin 5–50

Factors Influencing the Quality of Estimates

A typical statement in the field is the desire to “have a 95

percent probability of meeting time and cost estimates.

Past experience is a good starting point for developing time and

cost estimates. Bust past experience must almost always be

refined by other considerations to reach the 95% probability

level.

Project, people, and external factors all need to be considered to

improve quality of estimates.

1. Activity List2. Activity Attributes3. Resource CalendarsInformation on which resource (such as people, equipment, and

material) are potentially available during planned activity duration is used for estimating resource types. Resource calendars specify when and how long identified project resources will be available during the duration of the project.

Page 58: SECTION 6 PROJECT TIME MANAGEMENT. PROJECT TIME MANAGEMENT

Tools and Techniques-Estimate Activity Resources

1. Expert Judgment2. Alternative AnalysisMany Schedule activities have alternative methods of accomplishment.3. Published Estimating DataSeveral companies routinely publish updated production rates and unit cost of

resources for an extensive array of labor trades, material, and equipment for different countries and geographical locations within countries.

4. Bottom-Up EstimatingWhen an activity cannot be estimated within a reasonable degree of confidence, the work within the activity is decomposed into more detail. The resource needs are estimated. These estimates are then aggregated into a total quantity for each of the activity’s resources.

5. Project Management SoftwareProject Management Software has the capability to help plan, organize, and manage

resource pools and develop resource estimates. Depending upon the sophistication of the software, resource breakdown structures, resource availabilities, and resource rates can be defined, as well as various resource calendars.

Tools and Techniques-Estimate Activity Durations

1. Expert Judgment2. Analogous EstimatingAnalogous duration estimating uses the actual duration of a previous, similar activity

as the basis for estimating the duration of a future activity. It is frequently used to estimate project duration when there is limited amount of detailed information about the project, for example, in the early phases of a project. This is most reliable when previous activities are similar in fact and not just in appearance, and the project team members preparing the estimates have the needed expertise.

3. Parametric EstimatingActivity durations can be quantitatively determined by multiplying the quantity of

work to be performed by the productivity rate. 4. Three points EstimatesThe accuracy of the activity duration estimate can be improved by considering the

amount of risk in the original estimate. Three-point estimates are based on determining three types of estimates:

Page 70: SECTION 6 PROJECT TIME MANAGEMENT. PROJECT TIME MANAGEMENT

Three points Estimates-Tools and Techniques-Estimate Activity Durations

• Most likely. The duration of the schedule activity, given the resources likely to be assigned, their productivity, realistic expectations of availability for the schedule activity, dependencies on other participants, and interruptions.

• Optimistic. The activity duration is based on a best-case scenario of what is described in the most likely estimate

• Pessimistic. The activity duration is based on a worst-case scenario of what is described in the most likely estimate

An activity duration estimate can be constructed by using an average of the three estimate duration.

Page 71: SECTION 6 PROJECT TIME MANAGEMENT. PROJECT TIME MANAGEMENT

Estimated Time = (a + 4m + b)/6

Tools and Techniques-Estimate Activity Durations

1. Reserve AnalysisProject team can choose to incorporate additional

time refereed to as contingency reserves, time reserves, or buffers into the overall project schedule as a recognition of schedule risk. This contingency reserve may be a percentage of the estimated activity duration, a fixed number of a work periods, or may be developed by quantitative schedule risk analysis. This may be reduced or eliminated, as more precise information about the project become available.

1. Activity Duration EstimatesActivity duration estimates are quantitative assessment of the likely number of work periods that will be required to complete a schedule activity.

Activity duration estimates include some indication of the range of possible results. For example:

• 2 weeks + 2 days (assuming a five-day workweek)• 15% probability of exceeding three weeks to indicate a high

probability--- 85% that the activity will take three weeks or less

PROJECT TIME MANAGEMENTTypes of Float or Slack

– Free Slack• Amount of time task can be delayed without delaying the early start

of its successor

– Total Slack• Amount of time a task can be delayed without delaying the project

completion date

– Project Slack• Amount of time a project can be delayed without delaying the externally

imposed project completion date, usually set by stakeholders

Page 86: SECTION 6 PROJECT TIME MANAGEMENT. PROJECT TIME MANAGEMENT

Float

• Floats: This is the amount of time that a schedule activity can be delayed without delaying the early start of any immediately following schedule activities.(also called a slack)

PROJECT TIME MANAGEMENT

Page 87: SECTION 6 PROJECT TIME MANAGEMENT. PROJECT TIME MANAGEMENT

PROJECT TIME MANAGEMENT Float or Slack

• Float or Slack– Amount of time a task can be delayed without delaying the

project– All tasks on the critical path have zero slack– Critical path tasks which are delayed result in negative slack– Allows for better allocation of resources– Assists team members in juggling multiple tasks– Calculated by either LS – ES, or LF - EF

• Lag– Inserted waiting time between tasks

KNOWLEDGE AREA-PROJECT TIME MANAGEMENT

Page 110: SECTION 6 PROJECT TIME MANAGEMENT. PROJECT TIME MANAGEMENT

DEVELOP SCHEDULE

• Develop Schedule is the process of analyzing activity sequences, durations, resource requirements, and schedule constraints to create the project schedule. Entering the activities, durations and resources, into the scheduling tools generate a schedule with planned dates for completing project activities.

Page 111: SECTION 6 PROJECT TIME MANAGEMENT. PROJECT TIME MANAGEMENT

DEVELOP SCHEDULE• Developing the project schedule is often an iterative process.

It determines the planned start and finish dates for project schedules and milestones.

• Schedule development can require the review and revision of duration estimates and resource estimates to create an approved project schedule that can serve as a baseline to tract progress.

• Developing the schedule continues throughout the project as work progresses, the project management plan changes, an anticipated risk events occur or disappear as new risks are identified.

3. Resource leveling• Used to address schedule activities that need to be performed to meet specified delivery

dates• Address a situation where shared or critical required resources are only available at

certain times or are only available in limited quantities etc.

4. What-if scenario analysisThis is analysis of the question” what if the situation represented by scenario “X” happens?. A

schedule network analysis is performed using the schedule to compute the different scenarios, such as delaying a major component delivery etc.

Control Schedule

Schedule control is concerned with:• Determining the current status of the project

schedule• Influencing the factors that create schedule

changes,• Determining that the project schedule has

changed• Managing the actual changes as they occur.

Tool and Techniques

• This is an analysis of the question “What if the situation represented by scenario ‘X’ happens?”

• A schedule network analysis is performed using the schedule to compute the different scenarios, such as delaying a major component delivery, extending specific engineering durations, or introducing external factors, such as a strike or a change in the permitting process. The outcome of the whatif scenario analysis can be used to assess the feasibility of the project schedule under adverse conditions, and in preparing contingency an response plans to overcome or mitigate the impact of unexpected situations. Simulation involves calculating multiple project durations with different sets of activity assumptions. The most common technique is Monte Carlo Analysis, in which a distribution of possible activity durations is defined for each activity and used to calculate a distribution of possible outcomes for the total project.

Page 135: SECTION 6 PROJECT TIME MANAGEMENT. PROJECT TIME MANAGEMENT

Tools and Techniques- Performance Reviews

• Performance reviews measure, compare, and analyze schedule performance such as actual start and finish dates, percent complete, and remaining duration for work in progress. If earned value management (EVM) is utilized the schedule variance (SV) (Section 7.3.2.1) and schedule performance index (SPI) (Section 7.3.2.3) are used to assess the magnitude of schedule variations.

• An important part of schedule control is to decide if the schedule variation requires corrective action. For example, a major delay on any activity not on the critical path may have little effect on the overall project schedule, while a much shorter delay on a critical or near-critical activity may require immediate action.

Page 136: SECTION 6 PROJECT TIME MANAGEMENT. PROJECT TIME MANAGEMENT

Tools and Techniques- Variance Analysis

Schedule performance measurements (SV, SPI) are used to assess the magnitude of variation to the original schedule baseline. The total float variance is also an essential planning component to evaluate project time performance. Important aspects of project schedule control include determining the cause and degree of variance relative to the schedule baseline (Section 6.5.3.2) and deciding whether corrective or preventive action is required.

Page 137: SECTION 6 PROJECT TIME MANAGEMENT. PROJECT TIME MANAGEMENT

Tools and Techniques- Project Management Software

• Project management software for scheduling provides the ability to track planned dates versus actual dates, and to forecast the effects of changes to the project schedule.

Page 138: SECTION 6 PROJECT TIME MANAGEMENT. PROJECT TIME MANAGEMENT

Tools and Techniques-Adjusting Leads and Lags

The project management team determines the dependencies that may require a lead or a lag to accurately define the logical relationship.

The use of leads and lags should not replace schedule logic.Activities and their related assumptions should be documented.

A lead allows an acceleration of the successor activity. For example, on the 2000 Seater Capacity project, the landscaping could be scheduled to start 2 weeks prior to the scheduled activity. This would be shown as a finish-to-start with a 2-week lead.

A lag directs a delay in the successor activity. For example, a technical writing team can begin editing the draft of a large document 15 days after they begin writing it. This could be shown as a start-to-start relationship with a 15-day lag.

Page 139: SECTION 6 PROJECT TIME MANAGEMENT. PROJECT TIME MANAGEMENT

Tool and Technique-Critical Chain Method

Critical chain is a schedule network analysis technique that modifies the project schedule to account for limited resources. Initially, the project schedule network diagram is built using duration estimates with required dependencies and defined constraints as inputs. The critical path is then calculated. After the critical path is identified, resource availability is entered and the resource-limited schedule result is determined. The resulting schedule often has an altered critical path.

Page 140: SECTION 6 PROJECT TIME MANAGEMENT. PROJECT TIME MANAGEMENT

Tool and Technique-Critical Chain method

The resource-constrained critical path is known as the critical chain. The critical chain method adds duration buffers that are non-work schedule activities to manage uncertainty.

Page 141: SECTION 6 PROJECT TIME MANAGEMENT. PROJECT TIME MANAGEMENT

Tool and Technique- What-if Scenario Analysis

• This is an analysis of the question “What if the situation represented by scenario ‘X’ happens?”

• A schedule network analysis is performed using the schedule to compute the different scenarios, such as delaying a major component delivery, extending specific engineering durations, or introducing external factors, such as a strike or a change in the permitting process. The outcome of the what if scenario analysis can be used to assess the feasibility of the project schedule under adverse conditions, and in preparing contingency and response plans to overcome or mitigate the impact of unexpected situations.

Page 142: SECTION 6 PROJECT TIME MANAGEMENT. PROJECT TIME MANAGEMENT

Tools and TechniquesSchedule Compression Techniques

• Crashing. A schedule compression technique in which cost and schedule tradeoffs are analyzed to determine how to obtain the greatest amount of compression for the least incremental cost.

• Examples of crashing could include approving overtime, bringing in additional resources, or paying to expedite delivery to activities on the critical path. Crashing only works for activities where additional resources will shorten the duration. Crashing does not always produce a viable alternative and may result in increased risk and/or cost.

Page 143: SECTION 6 PROJECT TIME MANAGEMENT. PROJECT TIME MANAGEMENT

Tools and TechniquesSchedule Compression Techniques

• Fast tracking. A schedule compression technique in which phases or activities normally

• performed in sequence are performed in parallel. An example is constructing the foundation

• for a building before completing all of the architectural drawings. Fast tracking may result in

• rework and increased risk. Fast tracking only works if activities can be overlapped to shorten

• the duration.

Output-Project ScheduleMilestone charts. These charts are similar to bar charts, but only identify the scheduled start or

completion of major deliverables and key external interfaces. Example shown in Figure 6-14

Bar charts. These charts, with bars representing activities, show activity start and end dates, as well as expected durations. Bar charts are relatively easy to read, and are frequently used in management presentations. For control and management communication, the broader, more comprehensive summary activity, sometimes referred to as a hammock activity, is used between milestones or across multiple interdependent work packages, and is displayed in bar chart reports. An example is the summary schedule portion of Figure 6-14 that is presented in a WBS structured format.

Project schedule network diagrams. These diagrams, with activity date information, usually show both the project network logic and the project’s critical path schedule activities. These diagrams can be presented in the activity-on-node diagram format, as shown in Figure 6-7, or presented in a time-scaled schedule network diagram format that is sometimes called a logic bar chart, as shown for the detailed schedule in Figure 6-14. This example also shows how each work package is planned as a series of related activities.

Outputs-Schedule BaselineA schedule baseline is a specific version of the project schedule developed from the schedule network analysis. It is accepted and approved by the project management team as the schedule baseline with baseline start dates and baseline finish dates. The schedule baseline is a component of the project management plan.

Schedule DataThe schedule data for the project schedule includes at least the schedule milestones, schedule activities, activity attributes, and documentation of all identified assumptions and constraints. The amount of additional data varies by application area. Information frequently supplied as supporting detail includes, but is not limited to:

• Resource requirements by time period, often in the form of a resource histogram,• Alternative schedules, such as best-case or worst-case, not resource-leveled, or resource leveled, with or without imposed dates, and• Scheduling of contingency reserves.

Schedule data could include such items as resource histograms, cash-flow projections, and order and delivery schedules.
