6/19/2015By : Abdul Ghaffar, PMP4What is a Project?A project is a temporary endeavor that helps to accomplish some specific objective by utilizing definite interconnected tasks and the effective utilization of resources.

To achieve an objectiveOne Time (Start and finish dates)Constraints of time, cost and resourcesPerformed by People Single or GroupCoordinated and controlled activitiesSpecific DeliverablesProgressive Elaboration

6/19/2015By : Abdul Ghaffar, PMP19Lead & Lag TimeLead time causes a successor task to overlap a predecessor even though they are linked finish to start (FS). Lag time allows you to add a delay between the start of the successor and the end of the predecessor. Simply specify lead or lag time in the Predecessor column. Lead time is represented with a minus sign (-)Lag time is represented with a plus sign (+).

Milestones let you gauge your progress through the project.Its good practice to include a Start and Finish Milestone for each division/part of your WBS.

6/19/2015By : Abdul Ghaffar, PMP25The Critical PathThe Critical path is the flow of tasks, of which, a delay in any one of these tasks will cause a delay to the project.

It is the longest path through the project network diagram and the shortest possible time to complete the project6/19/2015By : Abdul Ghaffar, PMP26Critical Path

Tracking ProjectTo control the variations from actual plan (baseline) we need to track project and continuously check the health of the project.

EVM is a financial measurement tool that combines the conflicting aspects of scope, schedule and cost into a unified set of metrics.These metrics can be used for measuring, monitoring, reporting and forecasting project performance. It can be used through all the phases of a project, from initiation to closure.

6/19/2015By : Abdul Ghaffar, PMP32ExampleYou have a project to build a new fence. the fence is four sided as shown.Each side is to take one day to build and is budgeted for $1000 per side.The sides are planed to be completed one after the other.Today is the end of day three.

Calculate AC, BAC, CV, CPI,SV, SPI, EAC etc.
