Project scheduling at Balnque construction

Case Study Project Scheduling at Blanque Check Construction

In this particular phase of the project management for this specific construction project BCC, Joe is in the project planning phase which is important since at this stage the following happens:
1. identification of business requirements necessary to begin the actual construction,
2. identification of cost, schedule, list of deliverables and expected dates,
3. identification of resource plan, and
4. securing management’s approval to be able to proceed to the next phase or activity in the project plan

Project Network
To be able to develop a project network, Joe has to specify the in-scope requirements for the project and breakdown the project into tasks and sub-tasks. Please note however that this breakdown is more of the general activities for the project.
