Project Management by Prof. Bitar

What is Project Management? The discipline of organizing and managing various resources to accomplish a particular goal within well defined constraints.

What do we mean by resources? TimeMoneyPeopleExpertiseMaterialsSpaceEquipmentEtc…

What are the fundamental constraints? ScopeTimeCost Scope Time$ Cost The Quality Triangle

What are the different phases of Project Management? PlanningScheduling Time Tracking Gaining Experience

What do you need to do to start planning? Define the Project Set Goals Determine Objectives List Tasks

Example… Define Project: Build a Solar Candle Goal 1: Define Product Capabilities –Objective1: Determine Customer Requirements Task: Write Survey Task: Circulate Surveys Task: Evaluate Surveys –Objective2: Determine Product Specifications Task: Research Power Requirements Task: Research Prior Art Task: Consult with Senior Design Engineer Goal 2: etc…

How do you create a Project Plan? ID Goals & Objectives List Tasks Prioritize Tasks Schedule Tasks Identify Deadlines Identify Milestones Estimate Results Assign Responsibilities ImplementEvaluate

Questions to Think About… How many people can be responsible for something? What is the difference between a Deadline and a Milestone? What is meant by a “Drop Dead” Deadline?

The Gantt Chart Named after Henry Gantt ( ) Used extensively for Construction, Engineering, and Defense projects Early 1900’s Applied to Large Projects (Hoover Dam, Interstate Highway Construction, etc…)

What goes into a Gantt Chart? Two Dimensional Chart (tasks vs. time) Each task has its own bar. Length of a bar is proportional to time required to complete the task. Arrows between tasks indicate dependencies. Deadlines and Milestones indicate crucial dates. Parties (people) responsible for task completion are indicated.
