Incorporate into a Gantt chart and network diagram Scheduled meetings

Gantt Chart

Gantt Chart Hints Use SDLC stages for some phases.

Use other subdivisions for the remainingphases.

Subdivide each phase into ADCR activity. Identify who will do the work (individuals,

“team”)

Obtain team approval before putting into

action

Network Diagrams A net work diagram is a pattern of interconnected

arrows that represents work to be done. Critical Path method (CPM):

Uses a single time estimate for each activity. The estimate

is the best that can be made using the availableinformation.

Program evaluation review technique (PERT)

Uses three time estimates- an optimistic, a pessimistic, anda most likely.

Network Diagram Techniques

Activities Each activity is labeled with a brief description plus and estimate of the

amount of time that will be required

Nodes The purpose of the node is to provide a unique identification to each of the

activities Serial Processes

Those processes which are performed one after another

Parallel Processes When more than one activity can be performed simultaneously

Dummy Activities Unlabelled activities represented by dotted lines. Do not represent any work

to be done instead connect some of the activities

Critical Path

The critical Path contains no slack, or excess time. Activities not on criticalpath contains slack time, and can be delayed for that time.

Early start and early completion dates and late start and late completiondates
