17. Project Time Management
Plan schedule
Prepare WBS / activity list
Sequence the activities
Allocate resources
Create network diagram
Estimate Activity Duration
Prepare Schedule
Control Schedule
Project Time Management defines the process requires
to manage the timely completion of the project
18.
19. Network Diagram
• Network Diagram is interconnect of all activities in the project
• Sequence the activities & prepare Network Diagram
• It is useful for planning and tracking the project from beginning to finish
• It helps to find out Project Critical Path
• A good network diagram will be a clear graphic representation of
a project
Activity on Node
• Boxes denote activities
in the project
• Various boxes or
“nodes” are connected
from beginning to end
with arrows
20. Critical Path Method
1 ABCG = 10
2. ABFG = 15
3. DEFG =17
4. DHI=11
Critical Path
•In a network diagram, the longest path from start to finish.
•Shortest time in which the project can be completed
•A delay in one of the critical path activities will delay the entire project
•Put more resources to complete those activities in the critical path
21. Milestones
Milestones are significant events in the project,
typically one require customer to approve further
work
Metro Construction
Construction of elevated structure
Laying Rails
Copleting Signaling system
Metro station construction
22. Gantt Chart
It is a bar chart that illustrates a project schedule
It illustrates the start and finish dates of all activities in the
project.
It also show the dependency relationships between
activities
It also contains milestone in the project
It can be used to show current schedule status using
percent-complete shadings and a vertical "TODAY" line
26. What is Systems Engineering?
• Employs top down approach
• Inter disciplinary development work
– Aeronautics, Mechanical, Electrical, Electronics
• Multi discipline design optimization
Systems engineering is systematic way of doing the projects
“An interdisciplinary approach and means to
enable the realization of successful systems”
27. Systems Engineering emphasis on…
• User Requirement
• Right Product / Product right
• Document & Develop
• Verification & Validation
30. Complex Product Development
Project Management
• Focus on Managerial
aspect
• Project schedule, cost &
time
• Team selection & building
• Resource management
• Reviews & Decision making
Systems Engineering
• Focus on Technical
aspects
• Problem Analysis
• Design Options
• Design decision
• System acceptance
• Achieving Quality targets
Better outcomes are achieved when Systems Engineering
and Project Management work well together
31. Right Product / Product Right
Can be extended to …….
Other activities
– Right Career / Achieve Career Rightly
– Right Cell phone / Purchase Cell phone Rightly
– Right Picnic place / Visit Picnic place Rightly
One can logically use this technique in
almost all day to day activities
34. Student Project-Systems Engineering Approach
