Gantt Chart A Gantt chart‚ commonly used in project management‚ is one of the most popular and useful ways of showing activities (tasks or events) displayed against time. On the left of the chart is a list of the activities and along the top is a suitable time scale. Each activity is represented by a bar; the position and length of the bar reflects the start date‚ duration and end date of the activity. This allows us to see at a glance: What the various activities are When each activity begins and

Q2 Planning and control–Critical Path Method (CPM) & Progamme Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT) Explain what is meant by the Critical Path Method (CPM) and the Programme Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT)‚ as used in project planning and control? Department A is performing a system upgrade project with the following tasks‚ duration and task dependency relationships. Critical Path Method (CPM) The critical path method (CPM) is a step-by-step technique for process planning that defines

GANTT CHART FOR SECURED COMPUTERIZED GRADING SYSTEM In this project we have this specific list to complete our proposed system; Secured Computerized Grading System. We arranged it by week so it can clearly show the breakdown of the entire task we did. Our first task is to complete our Assignments. We completed this task within 26 days. We started November 14‚ 2013 and finished it December 10‚ 2013. Under our Assignments‚ there are 9 specific tasks. First is for the Project Title‚ Objective

This paper describes the use of a simple hands-on case in undergraduate classes to teach the concepts of a traditional PERT/CPM and Critical Chain project management techniques. A simple six-activity project is used to illustrate: the identification of project activities‚ development of activity time estimates‚ the development of the project network‚ the development of the PERT/CPM critical path and the probability of on-time completion using the critical path‚ the development of the critical chain

Rating Rating in CPM represent the response of firm toward the critical success factors. Highest the rating better the response of the firm towards the critical success factor ‚rating range from 1.0 to 4.0 and can be applied to any factor. [pic][pic]There are some important point related to rating in CPM. • Rating is applied to each factor. • The response is poor represented by 1.0 • The response is average is represented by 2.0 • The response is above average represented by

weight that range from 0.0 to 1.0.weight indicates the relative importance of the critical success factors. Rating: Ratings refer to strengths and weaknesses where 4= major strength‚ 3= minor strength 2= minor weakness and 1= major weakness. In CPM the rating and total weighted score for rival firms can be compared to the sample firms. This comparative analysis provides important internal strategic information.
