Project Management Session 5 Project Planning Session Outcome Following this session the delegate should be able to develop the following, given an appropriate case study: Tabulated sequence of activities; Network diagram (AON); Calculate a Forward Pass; Calculate a Backward Pass; Identify the Critical Path for the relevant network diagram. Preamble Session Outcomes Project planning is about sequencing and scheduling… Developing the Project Plan Project planning is about sequencing and scheduling… Developing the Project Plan Fundamental to this is the project network Developing the Project Plan The Project Network: A tool for planning, scheduling and monitoring project progress; Developed from the WBS; A flow chart that graphically depicts the sequence, interdependencies, and start and finish times of the project; Show activities that are the critical path through the network: Provides the basis for scheduling labor and equipment; Enhances communication among project participants; Provides an estimate of the project’s duration; Provides a basis for budgeting and cash flow; Identifies activities that are critical; Highlights activities that are “critical” and can not be delayed; Help managers get and stay on plan. From Work Package to Network Graphical sequence showing relationships, interdependencies and activities required to complete the project; Remember an activity consumes time; The link between the network diagram and the WBS is the work package – it is here that the activities are identified, to be used in the network diagram; However, the activity in the network diagram differs in terms of the following: It only shows time (start, end, duration ) and identifies an activity – the work package shows more information An activity can (but does not have to) include more than one work package; The work package are developed independently from each other, while the activities are depicted to show interrelationships and dependencies From Work Package to Network Fro
