Project goal and settings
BIT students, Spring2006 4
Agree on the goal, or you won’t reach it!
-OR GET ON ADESERT WALK

What is analysis?Get an overview of the problem • Asking Questions
• See Perspectives
Divide into different aspects• Top Down
• Bottom Up
Look critically at all aspects• Estimate
• Measure
• Compare
BIT students, Spring2006 9
How to start analysing – presentation of two tools
• The six W- model
• Post It Brain storm1. Everybody writes keywords on Post It notes for 5 min 2. All notes are placed on the blackboard3. All notes are read out 4. Everybody goes to the blackboard and structures the notes
together

BIT students, Spring2006 10
Exercise in group:
• Use the six W- model to get an overview of your project
• Use the Post-it Brain storm to identify tasks and structure your project

Project Management
Includes :
• Management of people (POL 2)
• Management of time
BIT students, Spring2006 13
Management of time
Contents:• Introduction
• Activity diagram
• How long time do we need for a given activity? - how to make a qualified guess
• The Gantt chart
• Project monitoring

Management of timeIs management of (often unpredictable)
change via• project planning and• project monitoring
Project planning – what is it?
• 50 % thinking ahead
• 25 % communication
• 25 % milestones
BIT students, Spring2006 18
Project Planning- What does it consist of?
A model of the project, including all activities = tasks, that together constitute the complete project
How can the model be used?• To experiment with, without actually carrying out the
timing and scheduling of activities of the project• As a yardstick against which to measure progress
and monitor the project• As a basis for a regular review and update process,
e.g. Plan the remaining part of the project
BIT students, Spring2006 19
Planning in different levels
• Top level:– Big tasks, few milestones – gives you overview
• Activity level:– Where you are right now– Detailed activity plan with many smaller tasks– Deadlines
• Daily level:– What are we going to do today

How to find X ?• We need 10 X• There is 6 members of the group• There are 15 half project day until finish of activity
What is X then ?
• X = 15/10 [½project day] = 1½ [½project day] ?• X = (15/10)x6 [½man day] = 9 [½man day]

Project Monitoring
• Why has some activities taken to long time?• Can we compensate for the delay by working
harder?• Is it possible to reorganize the work schedule• If we are to cut out some activities, which one?
What are the consequences of each of these choices?
BIT students, Spring2006 33
Exercise in group:
• Make a top level plan, using post-it’s to make an activity diagram.
• Plan how to monitor your time schedule.
