INTRODUCTION CDMA stands for CODE Division Multiple Access. Code division multiple access ( CDMA ) is a channel access method used by various radio communication technologies. CDMA is an example of multiple access ‚ which is where several transmitters can send information simultaneously over a single communication channel. This allows several users to share a band of frequencies (see bandwidth). To permit this to be achieved without undue interference between theusers CDMA employs spread- spectrum

Scamoail Ahmed - Project Mgmt assignment no 2 Q No 1 : What is meant by Project Crashing? How you incorporate Project Crashing through PERT-CPM? Definition 1. Project Crashing is a technique / process by which a project can be expedited by compressing the project schedule. Explanation 2. When we say that a project completion time is XX days‚ we generally mean that the project will normally takes these number of days within a specified resource / budget constraint. We could make it take less

A management triangle is a model of constraints of project management. It is a graphic aid where the three attributes show on the corners of the triangle to show opposition. It is often used to illustrate that project management success is measured by the project team’s ability to manage the project‚ so that the expected results are produced while managing time and cost. One method is to identify tasks needed to produce the deliverables documented in a work breakdown structure. The effect for each

RESEARCH REPORT VARIOUS WAYS I.T PROJECTS ARE MONITORED AND CONTROLLED INTRODUCTION Over the years‚ Information Technology (I.T) projects has been known to fail‚ that is‚ they are either completed with over budget or not completed within time and budget. Information Technology projects are often complex and detailed in nature and require cognitive knowledge and skills for its accomplishment. I.T projects are often difficult to estimate and manage as some projects are either cancelled or reduced

Transcript • 1. Critical Path Method and Critical Chain Project ManagementProject schedule plan is the main plan included in any Project Management Plan. Project schedule isresponsible for bringing project time‚ cost and quality under control. Project schedule links resources‚tasks and time line together. Once a Project Manager has list of resources‚ work breakdown structure(WBS) and effort estimates‚ he is good to go for planning project schedule. Schedule networkanalysis helps Project Manager to prevent
