Course Description
Plan for success!
When working on a project, the most important goal
is to make sure that the project is
successfully completed on time and
within the allotted budget.
Poor planning in early stages is often the reason why
many projects are delayed and cost overruns occur.
This presentation is going to outline
the process of carefully planning your project
for maximum efficiency.

Learning Objectives
Participants will learn how to:
Break down the project into its individual activities
Estimate the resources each activity will need, and how long each activity will last
Sequence the activities using the various activity relationships
Develop a project schedule memorializing the results

Defining Activities
Learning Objective# 1
![Page 9: Practical Project Management - rlicorp.com · Project Management 344 500 389 400 Architectural 933 1,087 995 1,000 Civil 344 500 389 400 Structural 933 1,087 995 1,000 Mechanical](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022050612/5fb2e424e7dd3d214b0e3e96/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Defining Activities
Review Work Breakdown Structure
For each deliverable, create a list of action items that need to be completed
Turn nouns into verbs
Use sufficient detail to be able to estimate the amount of time and resources needed
for completion
![Page 10: Practical Project Management - rlicorp.com · Project Management 344 500 389 400 Architectural 933 1,087 995 1,000 Civil 344 500 389 400 Structural 933 1,087 995 1,000 Mechanical](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022050612/5fb2e424e7dd3d214b0e3e96/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Rolling Wave Planning
• Involves progressive elaboration
• Tasks in the near future are planned for at a low level of WBS
• Tasks that are more unclear are planned for at a high level
• Rolling wave planning is not a default planning method

Templates
• Taken from previous
projects that are
substantially similar
• Templates help fast
track the defining
activities process

Expert Judgment
Can come from sources
such as:
key members,
operational or functional
managers,
consultants, or
subject matter experts

Maximizing Resources
Items for Negotiation:
• Number of design alternatives to be studied
• Number of submittals
• Number of meetings
• Scope of work

Estimate Activity Durations
Three-Point Estimate:
• Estimate uncertainty and risk through a standard average based on:
• Optimistic (O) – activity duration estimation based on best case scenario
• Pessimistic (P) – activity duration estimation based on worst case scenario
• Most likely (M) – activity duration estimation based on normal case scenario
Formulas:Beta
Distribution Formula: (O +
4M + P) / 6
Triangular Distribution
Formula: (O + M + P) / 3

• A type of expert judgment
• Used for ROM estimation
• Less accurate, takes less time and money

Calculating Total Float
• Critical Path = Yellow Path;
Project duration = 10 Weeks
• Float on Critical Path activities: 0
• Float on Survey and Geotechnical
Report: Duration of Critical Path
– Duration of Longest Path
Containing Activities
= 10 weeks – 8 weeks = 2 weeks
Formula: (F(task) = CP-L(task))
(Critical Path duration – length of
longest path with the activity on it)

Fast Tracking & Crashing
Fast Tracking – activities are re-planned to be performed in
parallel
Crashing – adding additional resources to the activities to
finish them early
