• Organize the WBS
Helps organize and schedule, format manage
define the total work assignments and change
scope of the project numbers.
• How costs and schedules
The statements of will be managed.
What

as a hierarchal tree
• Clear ownership by

8. WBS MS project template

9. Project Schedule
A schedule consist of a list of projects terminal elements with intended start
and finish dates. In order for a project to be healthy the schedule must be
constantly updated.
There are several tools that are used to input value
 Personal and project calendars
 Description of project scope
 Project risks
 List of activities and resource required

10. Critical Path
MS PROJECT
BENEFITS
LONGEST PATH
DETERMINED

11. CPM MS PROJECT
Based on our WBS it shows our critical path

12. CRITICAL PATH METHOD
Specify the individual
activities
Determine the sequence of
those activities
Steps to be followed in the CPM Project Draw a network diagram
Planning
Estimate the completion
time for each activity.
Identify the critical path
(longest path)
Update the CPM diagram
as the project progresses

13. RISK MANAGEMENT
Identification, assessment and prioritization of risks that monitor and
control impact of unfortunate events.
Allocates resources
STEPS
 Identification
 Planning
 Mapping out
 Scope
 Objectives of stakeholders
 Defining a framework
 Developing an analysis
 Solution

14. COST MANAGEMENT
Based on Profits =
Revenues – Expenses
Includes:
•Cost estimating
•Budgeting
•Practical application
of cost control system
The Project Budget
Involves Two Steps
Cumulative Budget
Cost (CBC).
Total Budgeted Cost
(TBC)

15. QUALITY MANAGEMENT
Has Four Main
Components
Quality Quality Planning
Management •Quality Control
Software •Quality Assurance
•Enterprise Wide •Quality
Quality Management
System (EWQMS) Improvement.

16. Project Baseline
 Project requirements have been analyzed and documented
 The project planning baseline has been established
 Activities can begin
 Baselines for scope, cost and schedule. If a project does not
have such baseline management
 It cannot be managed and measured as a closed system
 Controlling the project baseline is absolutely essential to
project success

17. Metrics
Project metrics are in-process or project execution measures that are
collected, analyzed and used to drive project process improvement. Project
metrics require of time and effort.
Reasons for Project Metrics
 Tangible project status information about project schedule and cost
 Identify areas for project process improvement
 Demonstrate the results of process improvement
 Collect a database to analyze trend information
 Historic comparators used for parametric estimates

18. PROJECT CONTROL METRICS
There are four steps involved in this Process
 Baseline
 Measure
 Compare
 Action
It is determined by three values
Proposed Work (PV)
