Breakdown StructuresBreakdown Structures
• Different types of BSDifferent types of BS– CWBS: Contractual WBS– OBS: Organisational WBSg– RBS: Resource WBS– BOM: Bill of Materials– PBS: Project Breakdown Structure

Work Breakdown StructureWork Breakdown Structure• Breaking the project down into more manageable g p j g
pieces is known as creating a work breakdown structure (WBS).
• A WBS defines the work to be completed in the project.A WBS defines the work to be completed in the project. • It is a graphical representation (diagram) of the project
showing its component parts.Th k t ll l l f th WBS h ld b d fi d i• The work at all levels of the WBS should be defined in terms of results, or deliverables, it is intended to achieve for:– It gives better control of scope.– It gives a more stable plan.– It gives more visible control.

Creating a WBSCreating a WBS• When creating a WBS for the first time, the following
information should be available:information should be available:– Activity.– Activity Title.– Duration of Activity.y– Successor Activity.– Personnel.– Direct Costs.
Predecessor Activity– Predecessor Activity.• Use the categories that make up the project:
– The WBS diagram does not have to be symmetrical.– Every box is a summary of the boxes in levels below it.y y– The final box in each level must end in a deliverable.– The lowest level activities are called work packages, this is lowest
detail you wish to describe and control.– All the boxes must equal the complete project.All the boxes must equal the complete project.

Simple Approach for Creating the WBS
• Gather Project TeamGather Project Team• Provide Team Members with Pad of Sticky-
Notes• Team Members Write Down all Tasks They
can Think of.• Sticky-Notes Placed and Arranged on Wall

Organisational Breakdown Structure
• The OBS gives a division of responsibility.The OBS gives a division of responsibility.• It emphasizes the clear allocation of
responsibilities.p• Most software systems also have a link
between the WBS and the OBS.

Sequencing ActivitiesSequencing Activities• One of the most important parts of project planning is p p p j p g
determining the logical flow of all the project activities.• It establishes the logical relationship between the
ti iti i t k diactivities using a network diagram.• A network diagram shows the activities and the logical
relationships among those activities.relationships among those activities.• The method used to determine this relationship is
called the Precedence Diagramming Method (PDM).• The PDM method was developed from the activity on
node (AON) method.

RelationshipsRelationships• Two basic relationships:
– Activities in series: activities are carried out one after another.– Activities in parallel: activities can be performed at the same time.
• To create a network diagram for you should use the following tsteps:
1. For each activity, work out the relationships with other activities. That is, determine where each activity depends on other activities.2 List the activities into a logical sequence2. List the activities into a logical sequence.3. For those activities that are not dependent on each other a separate path should be formed.4 Each activity must be dependent on the activity that4. Each activity must be dependent on the activity that immediately goes before it.5. Go over the sequence to make sure it is logical and makes sense

PERT and CPMPERT and CPM• Late 1950s
– Program Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT)• Lockheed Aircraft/US Navy• Probabilistic activity durations (Stochastic)
Critical Path Method (CPM)– Critical Path Method (CPM)• Rand Corporation/Du Pont• Deterministic activity durations
• ActivityActivity– task or set of tasks– use resources
• EventEvent– state resulting from completion of one or more activities– consume no resources or time– predecessor activities must be completedp p

PERT and CPMPERT and CPM• Milestones
– events that mark significant progress• Network
– diagram of nodes and arcsdiagram of nodes and arcs– used to illustrate technological relationships
• Pathi f t d ti iti b t t t– series of connected activities between two events
• Critical Path– set of activities on a path that if delayed will delay completion
f jof project• Critical Time
– time required to complete all activities on the critical path

Gantt ChartGantt Chart
• Gantt charts are bar charts that display aGantt charts are bar charts that display a schedule of all the activities.
• Named after Henry Gantt who invented them yin the First World War.
• Easy to see the relationships between the y pactivities and time.

PCs and Project Management Software
• The computer is now an integral part of the p g pproject manager’s information and control system.S f i d b l d• Software is used by mangers to plan and control projects.
• There is now complete acceptance of project• There is now complete acceptance of project management software to help project teams with their tasks.
• Project management software cannot control or manage the project.

SummarySummary• Feasibility study helps us identify whether the y y p y
proposed project is likely to be successful.• Project planning starts with the project lifecycle and
project feasibility to test whether the project is feasibleproject feasibility to test whether the project is feasible or not.
• The stages in the life cycle model are apt to run into problemsproblems.
• The Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) breaks the project down into manageable chunks.
• Critical Path Analysis (CPA) gives us a structure approach to planning.
• Project planning can be likened to a modeling exercise.Project planning can be likened to a modeling exercise.
