Project Schedule Management-> Overview

4. PMBOK 6 - All rights reserved; By: Anand Bobade (nmbobade@gmail.com)
Trends & emerging practices
Single process
• Define activity
• Sequencing activities
• Durations estimations
• Developing a schedule

5. PMBOK 6 - All rights reserved; By: Anand Bobade (nmbobade@gmail.com)
Iterative scheduling with a backlog
• A form of rolling wave planning for predictive / agile approach to
product development.
Trends & emerging practices
Requirements - user
stories, then prioritized
time-boxed periods.
(2 to 4 weeks)
deliver the
incremental value
welcomes changes

On-demand scheduling.
• This approach is used in Kanban system and it is based on the theory-of-constraints
and pull-based scheduling concepts of lean manufacturing
Kanban System
Trends & emerging practices
Theory of
constraints
pull-based
scheduling
Lean
manufacturing

Kanban:
• Method for visualizing the flow of work, in order to balance demand with available
capacity and spot bottlenecks
Trends & emerging practices -> Kanban
Work items are
visualized
Participants can view of
progress
Team
members pull work as
capacity permits

8. PMBOK 6 - All rights reserved; By: Anand Bobade (nmbobade@gmail.com)
Pull-based scheduling
• Pull work from backlog and do it as soon as resources are available
Trends & emerging practices
Limit teams work in progress to
balance demand with delivery
Tasks are similar in size, as in
operations
Does not rely on a schedule that
was developed previously

9. PMBOK 6 - All rights reserved; By: Anand Bobade (nmbobade@gmail.com)
Theory of constraints
• Used in lean manufacturing.
• Identify the most important limiting factor and Systematically improve it.
Trends & emerging practices
Theory of
constraints
Identify the
Constraint
Exploit the
Constraint
Subordinate &
synchronize to
the constraint
Elevate
Repeat the
process

Tailoring considerations

11. PMBOK 6 - All rights reserved; By: Anand Bobade (nmbobade@gmail.com)
Scaling factors like team size,
technical complexity
Multiple approaches
(traditional, agile, hybrid) can
be mixed
Adaptive approach - Iterative
scheduling
Role of Project Manager
- Not changing in Agile
Considerations for agile/adaptive environments

Project Manager

14. PMBOK 6 - All rights reserved; By: Anand Bobade (nmbobade@gmail.com)
Plan Schedule management:
• Establishing policies, procedures, &
documentation the project schedule
Define Activities:
• Identifying and documenting the specific actions
to produce the deliverables.
Sequence Activities:
• Iidentifying and documenting relationships among
the project activities.
Project Schedule Management processes

15. PMBOK 6 - All rights reserved; By: Anand Bobade (nmbobade@gmail.com)
Estimate Activity Duration:
• Estimating the number of work periods needed to
complete activities with estimated resources
Develop Schedule:
• Analysing activity sequences, durations, resource
requirements & constraints to create schedule
Control Schedule:
• Monitoring the status of project activities to
update project progress and manage changes
