Inputs: Sequence Activities Activity list has the list of activities to be
performed. Activity attributes has the additional information about the activities. Milestone list mark the key achievement
Project scope statement contains the product description which has the details of features and functionality. We can relate the order of the features and functionality of the product by determining the order of the activities

Tools & techniques: Sequence Activities Precedence diagramming method (PDM)uses rectangles to represent
activities and connects them using arrows. This tool is also called Activity on node
PDM includes 4 types of logical relationships : 1. Finish to Start – Activity C cannot start unless Activity A has finished 2. Start to Start – Activity B cannot start unless Activity A has started 3. Finish to Finish – Activity B cannot finish unless Activity A has finished 4. Start to Finish - Activity B cannot finish unless Activity A has started Dependency determination establishes logical relationships as a result of
existing dependencies. The type of logical relationship possible are: 1. Mandatory or hard logic are the result of inherent nature of work. Contractual compliance and product limitations are examples

Tools & techniques: Sequence Activities Dependency determination establishes logical relationships as
a result of existing dependencies. The type of logical relationship possible are:
1. Mandatory or hard logic are the result of inherent nature of work. Contractual compliance and product limitations are examples
2. Discretionary or preferential logic dependencies exist as a result of preferences of project team
3. External dependency indicates that an activity outside of the project has an effect on the sequence project activities. The relationship between activities is dependent on the external event

Tools & techniques: Sequence Activities Applying leads and lags takes into
account any delays or advances between activities. The delays are called as lags and advances are called as leads
Lag which is also called as waiting time, is the amount of delay that exists between activities
Schedule network templates includes the templates from previous projects. Sub network is the portion of the network from past project

Outputs: Sequence Activities Project schedule network diagrams are displays and the logical
relationships between the activities

Introduction: Estimate Activity Resources Identify the type and quantity of resources needed to
accomplish the activities. Document the details for each activity
Estimate cost is another process which is closely associated with this process at an activity level

Inputs: Estimate Activity Resources Activity list contains the list of activities that need to be
performed to accomplish a deliverable Activity attributes are supporting information about the activity Activity resource requirements will depend on availability
which is available in resource calendar. Activity resource requirements will also depend on the skill level

Tools & techniques: Estimate Activity Resources
Bottom-up estimating involves estimating resources of an activity after it has been decomposed into smaller levels
Published estimating data includes known productivity and resource requirements based on similar past projects or benchmarking

Outputs: Estimate Activity Resources Activity resource requirements contains the type and quantities
of resources to accomplish the activities Adding the resources will result in total resources at a work
package level Resource breakdown structure is a hierarchical breakdown of
the resources by categories

Introduction: Estimate Activity Durations Estimating activity duration requires information on resources
as well as work involved for an activity This process is about identifying number of work periods to
complete activities

Activity list contains the list of activities that need to be performed to accomplish a deliverable
Activity attributes are supporting information about the activity Activity resource requirements will depend on availability
which is available in resource calendar. Activity resource requirements will also depend on the skill level
Project scope statement has assumptions and constraints for this process

Tools & techniques: Estimate Activity Durations
Three persons guessing is better than one person guessing
Three point estimates uses three values to determine the duration of an activity using the PERT formula: An optimistic estimate, a pessimistic estimate, a most likely estimate

Tools & techniques: Estimate Activity Durations
Parametric estimating uses statistical relationship between past duration data and variables like number of meters of road, function point count, etc., to estimate current activity duration
Actual duration of activities of previous projects are used to estimate duration of activities of current project in Analogous estimating. This is also called top-down
estimating and used when there is limited information. Relies on expert judgment and is reliable when current project is similar to the previous project. It is used in the early phases of the project

Tools & techniques: Estimate Activity Durations Reserve analysis involves taking into consideration time buffers
when estimating duration for activities. Risks which may impact the schedule should be considered when estimating duration.
This buffer can be calculated based on fixed percentage of activity duration or based on quantitative risk analysis

Introduction: Develop Schedule This process is all about determining planned start and finish
dates of activities in a project. The planned start and finish date of activities are dependent on the outputs of time management planning processes
Developing a schedule is a sequential process Project schedule normally undergoes multiple iterations of
changes. The approved version of project schedule becomes the schedule baseline
