Project time management includes two high-level groups of processes for planning and scheduling project activities and tasks necessary for timely completion of the project. Project activities planning and scheduling is the first process group of project time management. Developing the project implementation schedule is the second group. In this article we will review the planning and scheduling process group. We will talk about the key actions the project manager must take to undertake project activities planning and scheduling in an efficient manner.
A well-designed project implementation schedule clarifies and describes what the project should deliver and within what time-frames. In this article you will read on how to create a time-related framework that helps project planners to deal with the “on time” part of the project objectives and what needs to be outlined to produce deliverables and achieve goals on schedule, within budget and according to expectations.
The boundaries of a project generally identify what is included within project work. Project boundaries represent one of the components of the project scope statement. This component is called “The Project Boundaries Identification“. It clearly defines the extent of the project scope (the scope baseline) and serves as an efficient tool for making decisions on the content of project work. In this article we will talk on how to identify the project boundaries and why project boundaries identification is important for implementing a project
Stating the project scope requires developing the project deliverables statement that describes the product/service to be produced at the project’s completion. Meanwhile, there is also a need to set up the scope for the product and define its key characteristics (features and functions). In this article we will talk about the product scope statement and also describe the three steps for managing stakeholder requirements.
In order to state deliverables for a project, it is necessary to identify and specify the key characteristics for each of the deliverables. These characteristics are Milestones, CPD (Cost Per Deliverable), Budget, Activities Required, and Requirements. In this article we will talk about the project deliverables statement and also what deliverables mean.
