1 Project Planning

2 Project Group of Activities Beginning, Middle, End Well-Defined End Result

3 Projects Example

4 Examples of Projects Construction Research and Development Design of New Product or Process Space Shuttle Wedding Can You Think of Projects? Can You Think of Non-Projects?

5 Project Life Cycle

6 Project Layout Layout is Oriented Around Project

7 Growth in Project Management Decline of Repetitive Manufacturing in U.S. Growth of U.S. Service & Project Oriented Industries Lack of Foreign Competition in Defense, Construction Need to Rebuild U.S. Infrastructure Greater Demand for New Product Introduction Proliferation of Project Management Software (Over 100 Kinds - $20 to $8000) Project Management Institute (PMI)

8 Growth in Project Management Growing Demand for Complex Goods, Services And Exponential Explosion of Human Knowledge Results in Larger and Larger Projects. This Creates Need for Sophisticated Management System

9 Project Planning Consists of: Purpose Objectives Overview and General Approach Schedules (PERT/CPM) Resources Personnel Risk Management Plans Evaluation and Control (Feedback)

10 Planning and Managing Risk Risk Management Planning – Form Team Risk Identification – Delphi Method Qualitative Risk Analysis – Subjective Likelihood Quantitative Risk Analysis – Use Probabilities Risk Response Planning – Avoid, Mitigate, Accept, Control Risk Monitoring and Control Risk Management Register

11 Initial Project Planning: Draw System Boundaries A System Consists of the Following: Mission and Goals - Objectives - Performance - Effectiveness - Cost Environment Resources Subsystems

12 In Project Planning Activities Must be Identified Activities are Groups of Work Elements or Tasks with: Similar Technology & Groups of Personnel Single Duration of Time (Activity Completion is Event) Definite Beginning & End

13 List of Activities Can Be Developed with: “Gozinto” Chart Bill of Materials Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) Basically a “Bill of Work Units”

14 Work Breakdown Structure (WBS)

15 WBS Information For Each Work Element (Activity) We Can Record: Work Statement (Input/Output) Vendors, Contacts, Subcontractors End Item Specifications Cost Accounting Numbers & Costs (ABC) Resource Needs Probability Personnel (Linear Responsibility Chart, Trend) Times (Scheduling, PERT/CPM, Gantt Charts) Sequence Requirements
