Activity (or task): an element of work normally found on the WBS that has an expected duration, a cost, and resource requirements.
Summary Task: a task that is broken down into more detailed tasks
Activity definition: process of identifying specific activities.
Activity sequencing: process of ordering of activities and determining dependencies between activities.
Activity resource estimating: process of determining types and amounts of resources (people, equipment, materials, etc.) needed for each activity
Activity duration estimating: process of determining how long will each activity take
Schedule development: process of determining when activities will be performed
Schedule control: process of monitoring progress and managing changes to the timetable of activities.
Milestone: an event that marks the culmination of a major phase, phases, or tasks in a project.
Predecessor: activity that must be completed before another activity can begin
Dependency: relationship between two or more activities
Mandatory dependency: required; hard logic
Discretionary dependency: by the project team; soft logic
External dependency: involve relationships between project and non-project activities
Network diagram: a diagram that shows the sequence of activities in the project using boxes (nodes) and arrows.
Finish-to-Start Dependency (FS): given two tasks A and B, A must finish before B can start
Start-to-Start Dependency (SS): given two tasks A and B, they must start at the same time
Finish-to-Finish Dependency (FF): given two tasks A and B, they must finish at the same time
Start-to-Finish Dependency (SF): given two tasks A and B, B cannot finish until A starts
Duration: amount of time worked on activity plus elapsed (unused) time.
Effort: number of work hours or workdays used/needed to accomplish a task.
Gantt Chart: a standard format for displaying a project schedule using horizontal bars (Ex. See Figure 6-6)
Estimated time (using PERT): (best case + worst case + (4*most likely case)) / 6
Early Start Date: The earliest possible time that you can begin an activity
Early Finish Date: The earliest possible time that you can complete an activity
Late start date: The latest possible time that you can begin an activity without delaying the project completion date.
Late finish date: The latest possible time you can complete an activity without effect the project completion date.
Slack time: the amount of time by which an activity can be delayed without delaying the project.
Earned value management (EVM): - Quality Planning

Quality standards can be established for:

1.
Quality Assurance

Benchmarks – standards for performance established by other projects or products

Quality Control

Main outcomes of quality control

·
Tools and Techniques for Quality Control

·
Pareto analysis

· Statistical sampling

select a portion (or sample) of the products for quality review

Deliverables
products produced as a result of the project

Methodology

processes involved in creating the products

Scope planning

determine how the scope will be defined

Scope definition

clarify project charter and preliminary scope statement by adding more details

Scope verification

get formal acceptance of the scope

Scope control

– manage change to the scope

Scope management plan

a document that describes how the project team will carry out processes above (scope planning, scope definition, etc.). Key inputs include:

Work Breakdown Structure (WBS)

document that shows all the work that needs to be done in the project.

·

Analogy approach

– tailor a similar project’s WBS to your needs

Top-down approach

start with large tasks/items – break them down

Bottom-up approach

– start with detailed tasks/items – roll them up into more general ones.

Mind-mapping

write tasks and subtasks in non-linear graphical form

WBS dictionary

a document that gives a detailed description of each WBS task.

Scope baseline

the approved project scope statement and WBS.

Variance

the difference between planned and actual performance.; Quality standards can be established for:

1.
Quality Assurance; Benchmarks – standards for performance established by other projects or products
Quality Control: Main outcomes of quality control

·
Tools and Techniques for Quality Control; ·
Pareto analysis; · Statistical sampling; select a portion (or sample) of the products for quality review

Deliverables; products produced as a result of the project
