The overview discusses key concepts of the project management framework, including the triple constraint of scope, time and cost, areas of PM expertise, the project management office, and differences between projects and programs. It also discusses project management processes, including the five process groups of initiating, planning, executing, monitoring and controlling, and closing as well as the Plan-Do-Check-Act cycle and the process interactions template.

The document discusses critical path method (CPM) network computation and provides examples of activity-on-arrow and activity-on-node network diagrams. It also explains the different relationship types used to define dependencies between activities, including finish-to-start, start-to-start, finish-to-finish, start-to-finish, and start-to-start/finish-to-finish relationships. Lead and lag times are discussed as constraints that can be applied to relationships.
The document discusses activities, projects, and bar charts for project scheduling. An activity has a defined start and end time and uses resources. A project is a set of activities with defined objectives, completion date, and budget. A bar chart is a common project scheduling tool that displays activities as horizontal bars placed sequentially according to duration and dependencies. It can identify critical paths where delays could impact the overall project schedule.
This document defines key terms and formulas used in critical path method (CPM) network computation. It discusses the forward and backward pass computations used to calculate the earliest and latest start and finish times of activities. The forward pass uses the earliest start time of predecessor activities to calculate the earliest finish time of each activity. The backward pass uses the latest finish time to calculate the latest start time. Several examples are provided to demonstrate applying CPM calculations to activity networks. Key outputs include identifying the critical path and activities that dictate the minimum project duration.
- The document discusses network scheduling techniques for project management, focusing on the Critical Path Method (CPM).
- CPM uses arrow diagrams to graphically display the planned sequence and dependencies of a project's activities in order to determine the critical path for efficient resource use and project completion.
- The Activity-on-Arrow (AOA) drawing scheme is presented as the original CPM network scheduling technique, with nodes representing start and finish points and arrows representing activities.
1. The document discusses reasons and methods to reduce project durations, including to earn incentive pay, avoid penalties, and fit contractual timelines. It then describes four common methods: using overtime, adding workers, better equipment, and subcontracting labor.
2. The optimal project duration balances minimizing total project costs, including direct costs from activities as well as indirect overhead costs. The network compression algorithm is used to iteratively shorten the critical path by accelerating individual activities until no further reduction is possible without increasing total costs.
3. An example construction project is provided to demonstrate calculating the least cost project duration using crash costs, indirect costs, and shortening cycles to optimize the project schedule.
The document describes procedures for updating construction schedules, including:
1) Setting the duration of completed activities to zero and identifying live activities currently in progress.
2) Setting the early start time of live activities to the update time and their remaining durations.
3) Changing durations of future activities as given in the update report and performing network analysis to prepare a new schedule.
The document describes a resource allocation example using a serial method. It shows a project schedule network diagram with multiple activities (A, B, C, etc.) that require a single critical resource. The serial method allocates the critical resource to activities one at a time without interruption to determine the minimum project duration needed to complete all activities.
The document discusses four methods for estimating activity durations in project management: 1) guessing, 2) using published materials on similar tasks, 3) using a company's historical data on similar past projects, and 4) calculating duration based on labor costs and rates. It then provides an example of estimating duration using labor costs. The document also discusses using a beta distribution and three time estimates to model activity duration variability in PERT analysis.
The document discusses different contractual and organizational approaches for projects. It describes four main organizational types: traditional, owner-builder, turnkey, and professional construction manager. For each type, it outlines the key advantages and disadvantages, such as who is involved, how responsibilities are allocated, opportunities for cost and schedule optimization, and potential conflicts of interest. The goal is to establish effective relationships between the work, people, and workplaces for a given project.
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive functioning. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against mental illness and improve symptoms.
