Question 1
Question 1.1
, The project schedule management is also called project time management. It refers to
the progress of the work in each stage and the final completion of the project during the
project implementation process. Project schedule management is one of the important
measures to ensure the project is completed on time and rationally arrange the supply
of resources and save engineering costs.
Any IT or software project's success is heavily dependent on the project schedule
management which will result in the project objectives to be accomplished within the
allocated time. A properly designed and managed project schedule also contributes to
lowering the project's risk. Below are steps that can help to develop a project schedule
management:
I. Define Activities
A process of identifying and documenting the specific actions to be performed to
produce the project deliverables. Project managers use the Work Breakdown Structure
and a deliverables diagram to establish and start the tasks that are essential to finish on
time.
II. Sequence Activities
It is the process of identifying and documenting relationships among the project
activities. Sequence activities helps to identify a logical sequence of work, which in turn
helps the project team to work efficiently.
III. Do Estimates
The project manager has to analyze the information to be able to predict the time, cost,
and resources that is needed to complete a project. The project schedule helps to
calculate all the estimations of the project and determine what it will take for a project to
be completed.
IV. Determine Dependencies
Dependency in a project is the relationship between the tasks. It is when a task cannot
be started until the other task or process is completed. The project manager will need to
make sure that the schedule reflect the relationship between the tasks and make sure it
is included in the project plan.
V. Assign Resources
The project manager need to allocate required resource to tasks to complete the tasks,
the resource with the correct skill must be allocated. When doing resource allocation,
the project manager must know the availability of resources and schedule them to
coincide with the project timeline.
