9.0 Project Scheduling

Project scheduling is one of important part Software Development Project. This is because time is one of the aspects that should be concerned of when starting a project in order to meet the goal of project. IT Developer often failed to meet time constraints and choose to neglect time management to put more focus on development and other technical aspects. For this project we tried to apply project time management in order to ensure the tasks could be delivered on time. The project scheduling also helps us much in specifying and allocating tasks between resources.

We start on project scheduling by defining tasks and subtasks and estimating the duration and dependencies of each task. The Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) is as shown as in Table 9.1 below. Referring to this WBS we manage to create a Gantt Chart which shows the project schedule in it’s timeline. We also generate the Network Diagram and identify critical path, to make sure we are more concern on certain critical tasks. In order to divide the tasks between members, we produce a staffing relocation diagram. Although each member is allocated with different tasks, knowing other members’ tasks is a must because in this project we need to understand the entire process in order to deliver a good result.

9.1 Work Breakdown Structure (WBS)

|Task |Name of Task |Duration (days) |Dependencies |
|T1 |Scope of Project |5 | |
|T2 |System Environment |5 | |
|T3 |Functional Requirement |5 |T1,T2 (M2) |
