PERT Chart Gantt Chart
a graphical network model that depicts a project’ a simple horizontal bar chart that depicts project
s tasks and the relationships between those task tasks against a calendar. Each bar represents a n
s. amed project task. The tasks are listed vertically i
n the left-hand column. The horizontal axis is a c
alendar timeline.

Project Management Life Cycle
Joint Project Planning Strategy
Joint project planning (JPP) is a strategy wherein all stakeholders in a project (m
eaning system owners, users, analysts, designers, and builders) participate in a on
e-to-three day project management workshop, the result of which is consensus a
greement on project scope, schedule, resources, and budget. (Of course, subsequ
ent workshops or meetings may be required to adjust scope, budget, and schedul
e.)
Activity 1 : Negotiate Scope (Scoping)
Scope defines the boundaries of a project—What part of the business is to be studied, analyzed, designed, constructed, implemented, an
d ultimately improved?
– Product
– Quality
– Time
– Cost
– Resources
A statement of work is a narrative description of the work to be performed as part of a project. Common synonyms include scope statem
ent, project definition, project overview, and document of understanding.

Activity 3: Estimate Task Durations
1. Estimate the minimum amount of time it would take to perform the task. We'll call this the optimistic duration (OD).
2. Estimate the maximum amount of time it would take to perform the task. We'll call this the pessimistic duration (PD).
3. Estimate the expected duration (ED) that will be needed to perform the task.

Activity 4 : Specify Intertask Dependen

Finish-to-start (FS)—The finish of one task triggers the start of another task.
Start-to-start (SS)—The start of one task triggers the start of another task.
Start-to-finish (SF)—The start of one task signifies the finish of another task.
