Technical Constraints

Network diagrams illustrate technical constraints among activities

Serial Relationship

Activities are drawn in a __________ __________ because, from a technical standpoint, they must be performed in that specific sequence.

Resource Constraint Planning

A network diagram and schedule that take into account the availability of a limited quantity of resources.

Available resources allows....
Limited resources available can...

Concurrent tasks
constraints project

What do network diagrams help?

help to illustrate potential resource allocation problems.

Resource Requirement Plan

A table that illustrates the expected utilization of resources by time period during the same time span of the project

Resource requirements plan

Illustrates the expected resource use by time period &
Indicate the amounts and types of resources needed to perform each activity

Resource Utilization

charts based on each activity earliest start time are called ASAP Schedule &
based on each activity latest time are called ALAP schedule.

Resource Leveling

also called smoothing
Method for developing a schedule that attempts to minimize the fluctuations in requirements for resources

Resource Leveling

Method that seeks to apply resources as uniformly as possible, without extending the project schedule beyond the required completion time (within required time).
Delay start of noncritical activities
Use positive slack

Resource-limited scheduling

Develop shortest schedule
Not exceed fixed available resources
Extend the project completion time if necessary
Give activities with the least slack first priority
Delay lower priority activities

Resource-limited scheduling

A method for developing the shortest schedule when the quantity of available resources is fixed.
This method extends the project completion time, if necessary, to keep within resource limits

5 basic required resources for IS development

people, hardware, software, data, and network resources

Resource assesment

The more accurate and detailed the resource assessment is the more likely the project will be completed on time

Overallocation

Most common problem in project management

Overallocation

It happens when resources are assigned to multiple tasks at same time.
The conflict results in lengthening the time needed to complete the project.

Several activities need the same limited resources at the same time

Activities with the least slack have the first priority
Lower priority activities get delayed, but delaying activities may delay the project

Project Management IS

provides excellent features for handling resource considerations within a project

Project management Information systems may include

Handle resource considerations within a project
Create and maintain a list of resources
Store availability, rate, and costs for resources
Assign resources and calculate cost
Assign calendar to record availability
Resolve over allocations for best solution

Resource requirement plan

What plan illustrates the expected utilization of resources by time period during the time span of the project?

Resource Leveling (Resource smoothing)

What method for developing a schedule that attempts to minimize the fluctuations in requirements for resources when the project completion time is fixed?

Resource-limited scheduling

What method for developing the shortest schedule when the quantity of available resources is fixed, and may extend the project completion time in order to keep within the resource limits?

Will extend the project completion time if necessary in order to keep within the resource limits?

Resource-limited scheduling will not extend the project completion time if necessary in order to keep within the resource limits. In resource-limited scheduling, the lower priority activities get delayed. How does the delaying of activities affect the project? a.

Can constrain the project schedule because the quantities of various types of resources available to perform the project activities may be?

-Resources can constrain the project schedule because the quantities of various types of resources available to perform the project activities may be limited.

How does the delaying of activities affect the project?

The delaying of activities helps give others more time on their tasks because they won't affect the project schedule. It is good practice to have the person who will be responsible for the costs associated with the work make the cost estimates.
