What does Sequence Activities Mean?
|
This is taking our activities that we have defined and decompose into a logical sequence of events. For example: you must build the foundation prior to building on it. So how do you get there?
|
|
What do you need for developing you Activity Sequence?
|
You must have the Activity List and Activity Attributes that was produced in the first time management process. This was the Activity Definition Process.
|
|
Acitivities is Defined as What?
|
This is a Predecessor Network or Precedence Diagram. That is to say we are specifying the Dependencies between Activities.
|
|
What is a Dependency?
|
One is supported upon another. For example: B can't start until A is complete. Like drywall must be complete before you can paint it.
|
|
What is PDM or Precedence Diagram Method?
|
This is Activity Sequencing. This simply arranges the project work visually. Like a blueprint. The PDM contains Nodes which contains the activities and then they are connect with arrows which represents the relationship & dependencies of the Work Packages.
|
|
What is the INPUT that you need to do a PDM?
|
You need the Activity LIst, Activity Attributes and Scope Statement.Infomation, Leads and Lags and Schedule Template.
|
|
If we have a outline of our Organizations scheduling Procedures what do we follow?
|
We follow the OPA - Which is the Organizational Process Assests.
|
|
What are the Tools and Techniques used for Activity Sequencing?
|
The Techniques are Precedence Diagramming, Dependency Infomation, Leads and Lags and Schedule Template.
|
|
What is meant by Lead?
|
Lead is considered to be a negative time. What this means is you are bring the task closer to the project start date. Lead subtracts time between activities.
|
|
What is meant by Lag?
|
Lag is considered to be positive time. What this means is you are taking the task and moving it away from the start date. Lag Adds time between activities.
|
|
What is a Schedule Template?
|
These are similar previous projects when they are available. The templates not only contain the activities but also the precedence relationship. NOTE: We can use the templates for the whole project or parts of a project.
|
|
We have 3-kinds of dependencies please name them?
|
Mandatory Dependency, Discretionary Dependency and External Dependency.
|
|
What is meant by Mandatory Dependency?
|
Mandatory Dependency is required by the nature of the work. Example: YOU must have a computer before you can test the computer. Must have a foundation before you can build on it!
|
|
What is meant by Discretionary Dependency?
|
The Preferred order of activities. PM should adhere to the order and document the LOGIC behind the ordering. The D.D. happen in a preferred order because of best practices,conditions may be unique to the project. This is known as SOFT LOGIC.
|
|
What is meant by the term Soft Logic?
|
Soft logic is used when incorporating discretionary dependency. It is just another name for Discretionary Dependency.
