8. Work Breakdown Structure (WBS)
WBS involves breaking down the project scope into
smaller, manageable components to facilitate planning
and resource allocation.

9. Gantt Charts
Gantt charts provide a
visual representation of
project tasks, durations,
and dependencies, aiding
in schedule management.
Tasks from WBS can be
taken as an input.

10. Critical Path Method (CPM)
The Critical Path Method (CPM) is a project
management technique used to plan and schedule
complex projects. It helps you determine the most
important tasks that you need to complete on time for
the project to finish on schedule.
Critical Path: It’s like finding the longest route you have
to take to get somewhere. If this route has any delays,
you’ll be late, no matter how fast you go on the other
routes.
Focus: CPM helps you focus on the most important
tasks that will delay the project if they’re not completed
on time.
Example : Allocating multiple resources to have the
work done on time.

11. SWOT Analysis
SWOT Analysis is a simple but powerful tool used to
evaluate the Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and
Threats related to a project or business. It helps you
understand what you’re doing well, where you can
improve, what opportunities you can capitalize on, and
what risks you need to watch out for.
Goal: Understand your strengths and weaknesses, and
identify opportunities and threats.
Outcome: Develop strategies to leverage strengths,
improve weaknesses, capitalize on opportunities, and
protect against threats.
