DATA COLLECTION
THINKING
Project :
A project is the means of converting a vision, a dream or a
need to reality.
A Project is a set of activities which are networked in an
order and aimed at achieving the defined goals for which
the project is undertaken. Upon completion of all the
activities, the goals of the project will be achieved.
Management : Management is the technique of
understanding the problems, needs and controlling the use
of Resources, Cost, Time, Scope and Quality.
The ‘When’ deals with the schedules and phasing for the
project.
PLANNING
Scheduling Phase is the process
of formalizing the planned activities,
SCHEDULING assigning the durations, resources
and sequence of occurrence in
consultation with the team
CONTROLLING
members.

Network
From being in state 'A' to go to state 'B', we would need some kind
of force or energy to move. An activity requires physical or mental
energy.
Zero date :
It is the go-ahead date of a project or the date of start of a project.
Milestone :
Milestones add significant value to project scheduling which
can only be a Start type or Finish type & doesn't have any duration.
Constraint :
A Scheduling restriction you impose on the Start or Finish of an
activity. Constraints are used to reflect real Project requirement
for example all outdoor activities must be completed before the
onset of monsoon etc.
Logical relationships Network
The independent activity A must start before activity B can start. The arrow
shows the 'from to' relationship.
The 'from' activity must start before the 'to' activity can start
Logical relationships Network
The 'from' activity must start before the 'to' activity can finish
the 'from' activity must finish before the 'to' activity can finish
Network
Lead & Lag
Lead and lag are activity relationships that are used as special modifiers to
advance or delay the succeeding activity.
Lead:
This is a modification of a logical relationship between two activities, which
allows an acceleration of the successor activity. For example, in a Finish to
Start dependency, with a 14 days lead, the successor activity can start 14 days
before the predecessor activity has finished.
A lead means that the succeeding activity will start earlier than it otherwise
would have.
Lag:
A modification of a logical relationship, which delays the successor activity.
For example, in a Finish to Start dependency, with a 14 days lag, the successor
activity cannot start until 14 days after the predecessor has finished.
A lag means that the succeeding activity will start later than it otherwise would
have.
Network
Forward Pass
The Calculation of Early dates for a project.
The Forward Pass starts from the beginning of
the Project and continues to the end to
calculate the Earliest Start and Finish dates for each
activity.
As we go from left to right in the forward pass, let us calculate the ES and
EF of these 8 activities.

• ADVANTAGES
Easy to prepare
Eye catching
Good for early planning
Good for small scale projects
• LIMITATIONS
Do not show relationships between activities
and hence do not illustrate project network.
Do not assist data preparation and analysis.
Do not show effects of changes or delays.
Network
Using the 3 time estimates of PERT method, the Estimated time for this
activity is:

S-Curve
What is “S Curve”
Y – Percent progress
x – Period at which s-curve value required
xn – Total period
The name is derived from the 'S' like nature of the curve.
“S Curve” or Project Life Cycle S-Curve
S-Curve
Progress distribution curve
Peak Period
Time
It is an ideal distribution curve. Depending upon the various
guiding factors it may vary.
S-Curve
Note :
Previous distribution is an ideal
one. Depending on nature and
location of job this distribution
may vary. The experience of
concerned project manager will
play a vital role in deciding the
projected distribution of progress
of any activity during its span of
implementation.
