Easy steps to network construction and critical path determinationDr. Mahmoud Al-Naimi
This document provides steps for network construction and critical path determination in project management. It includes an example problem with activities, durations, and preceding activities in a table. The steps demonstrated are: (1) drawing the activity-on-arrow network diagram for the activities, (2) calculating the critical activities using forward and backward passes to find earliest and latest start/finish times, (3) identifying the critical path, and (4) determining the project completion time. The example problem is used to illustrate drawing the network, performing the calculations, and identifying that the critical path is activities A->B->C->D->E->F->G with a project completion time of 36 weeks.
This document discusses project scheduling techniques like the Gantt chart, critical path method (CPM), and program evaluation and review technique (PERT). It explains activity on arrow (AOA) and activity on node (AON) networks, providing examples to compare how each represents project activities and dependencies. The document then works through an example project, drawing the AON network and performing a critical path analysis to determine the project's duration. The critical path is identified as activities A through C, E, G, and H, with a completion time of 15 weeks.
Using Monte Carlo Simulation in Project Estimates by Akram Najjar
The PMI Lebanon is glad to announce that Akram Najjar is the speaker for the a lecture titled “Using Monte Carlo Simulation in Project Estimates” delivered on Thursday, 28 July 2016
Lecture Outline
* Why are single point estimates unreliable and what is the alternative?
* What are distributions and how do we extract random samples from them (using Excel)? Two costing examples.
* How to setup a Monte Carlo Simulation model in a spreadsheet?
* Two PM examples (in detail)
* How to statistically analyze the thousands of runs to reach reliable estimates?
Lecture Objectives
* A Project Manager usually knows how certain parameters (such as duration, resource rates or quantities) behave. However, the PM can almost never define reliable single point estimates for these parameters. The result: many projects fail due to unreliable estimates. The alternative? The PM has to use his/her knowledge of how specific parameters behave statistically. For example, the PM knows that a specific task’s duration is distributed according to the bell shaped curve OR that another is uniformly distributed (flat variation), or triangular, or Beta-PERT, etc. The PM can then use Monte Carlo Simulation (MCS) to arrive at statistically significant and robust results. Monte Carlo Simulation (MCS) is a technique that relies on two processes. Process 1 aims at developing a spreadsheet model that calculates the critical path or the total cost, etc. The calculation is setup in a single row (or Run). This row is then duplicated a large number of times (thousands). Process 2 aims at inserting Excel functions in each of the parameters (durations, costs). In each row (or Run), such functions will provide a sample drawn from a statistical distribution that properly describes the behavior of that parameter. For example, a specific duration follows a Normal (Bell) distribution with an Average A and a Standard Deviation S. The model will then generate for each run and for that duration a different value that conforms with the bell shaped curve as defined (A and S). Each of these thousands of runs will provide the PM with a different “simulation” of the duration or the total cost, etc. By statistically analyzing the thousands of results, the PM can arrive at a robust and reliable estimate. Proprietary Add On’s for Monte Carlo Simulation in Microsoft Project are available. However, it is easy, free and more flexible to use native Microsoft functions to carry out the full simulation. The talk covered all the steps needed for such simulations giving several examples
The document discusses three examples of project managers and their responsibilities on different projects:
1) Construction of a retail development with 26 units and a supermarket. Responsible for coordinating contractors to ensure on-time and on-budget completion.
2) Directing trials of a new analgesic drug. Responsible for designing experiments and ensuring proper scientific and legal procedures are followed.
3) Introducing multimedia resources at a teacher training college in New Delhi. Responsible for purchasing and developing resources as well as encouraging acceptance by lecturers and students.
The document discusses various types of market, business, and financial risks. It identifies interest rate risk, credit risk, liquidity risk, volatility risk, operational risk, and market risk as key market risks. Business risks include strategic risks related to industry changes, compliance risks related to laws and regulations, financial risks related to cash flow and operations, and operational risks related to processes and procedures. Risk management strategies involve accepting, transferring, reducing, or eliminating risks through insurance policies, financial instruments, controls, and preventative measures.
This document discusses risk and risk management. It defines risk as uncertainty about potential losses and categorizes risks as objective or subjective. It also discusses concepts like chance of loss, perils, hazards, and different types of risks like fundamental risk, particular risk, and enterprise risk. The objectives and steps of the risk management process are also outlined, including identifying exposures, analyzing frequency and severity of losses, selecting risk control or financing techniques, and implementing and monitoring the risk management program.
This document discusses project management techniques CPM and PERT. It begins by defining a project and project management. It then discusses network planning methods including CPM and PERT. The four steps to managing a project with these methods are described: describing the project, diagramming the network, estimating time of completion, and monitoring progress. Key concepts like activities, precedence relationships, and events are also defined. The document goes on to provide details on CPM and PERT, including estimating time, determining critical paths, and differences between the two methods.
Risk management is the process of identifying and mitigating risks that may have a positive or negative impact on a project. It includes risk management planning, identification, analysis, response planning, and monitoring and control. Analyzing risks qualitatively and quantitatively helps prioritize them so appropriate responses can be developed, such as avoiding, transferring, mitigating, or accepting risks. Monitoring risks ensures new risks are identified and risk responses remain effective over the project lifecycle. The benefits of effective risk management include more efficient resource use, continuous improvement, fewer failures, and enhanced communication and accountability.
The document discusses project risk management and outlines six processes for managing risk: risk management planning, risk identification, qualitative risk analysis, quantitative risk analysis, risk response planning, and risk monitoring and control. It provides details on tools and techniques used in each process, such as documentation reviews, information gathering, probability and impact matrices, and quantitative risk analysis modeling. The overall goal of risk management is to increase the probability of positive events and decrease the probability of negative events on a project.
El documento describe los métodos PERT y CPM para la planificación de proyectos. PERT usa intervalos probabilísticos para estimar tiempos de actividades, mientras que CPM asume tiempos deterministas. Ambos métodos permiten identificar la ruta crítica y duración total de un proyecto.
The document discusses the purpose and goals of risk management in healthcare organizations. It aims to enhance patient safety and minimize financial losses through risk identification, evaluation and prevention. It also helps ensure compliance with regulatory standards. An effective risk management program has a formal structure, integrates risk and quality departments, and guarantees confidential reporting to improve safety and reduce future incidents.
