PMP ITTO List - Part 3

Gurus,

We will see the processes listed below Time management knowledge area in this post.

Time management: It is a process required to ensure timely completion of the project.

Time management processes: The following are the processes of the time management knowledge area.

1) Define Activities,

2) Sequence Activities,

3) Estimate Activity Resources,

4) Estimate Activity Duration,

5) Develop Schedule, and

6) Control Schedule

1) Define Activities:

Inputs:

Scope Baseline, Enterprise Environmental Factors(EF), Organizational Process Assets (OP)

Tools and Techniques:

Decomposition, Rolling wave planning, Templates, Expert Judgment

Outputs:

Activity List, Activity Attributes, Milestone List

2) Sequence Activities:

Inputs:

Activity List, Activity Attributes, Milestone List, Project Scope Statement, Organizational Process Assets (OP).

Tools and Techniques:

Precedence Diagram Method (PDM), Dependency determination, Applying leads and lags, Schedule Network Templates

Outputs:

Project Schedule Network Diagrams, Project Document Updates

3) Estimate Activity Resources:

Inputs:

Activity List, Activity Attributes, Resource Calendars, Enterprise Environmental Factors (EF), Organizational Process Assets (OP)

Tools and Techniques:

Outputs:

Project schedule, schedule baseline, schedule data, project document updates

6) Control Schedule:

Inputs:

Project management plan, project schedule, work performance information, organizational process assets (OP)

Tools and Techniques:

Performance reviews, variance analysis, project management software, resource leveling, what-if scenario analysis, adjusting leads and lags, schedule compression, scheduling tool.

Outputs:

Work performance measurements, organizational process assets updates (OP), change requests, project management plan updates, project document updates.
