Nice going … !! www.regenesys.co.za PDBM Advanced Project Management DAY 2, SECTION 7.5 Project scheduling (the big one for today!) DAY 2 – HOW’S OUR PROGRESS? 7.5 Project scheduling ✓ 7.6 Project monitoring and control 7.7 Project documentation and reporting 7.8 Contract and tender management 7.9 Project closure Assignment 7.5.1 WORK BREAKDOWN STRUCTURE Pages 133 – 135 in textbook • Either: “A work breakdown structure (WBS) is a deliverable-oriented hierarchical decomposition of the work to be executed by the project team to accomplish the project objectives” (PMBOK) • Or: “A WBS is when you take a big job and break it down into small steps” • Or alternatively: “How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time” • A WBS can take any one of several different styles or formats, but they generally follow the same rules • 100% rule: The WBS must include 100% of the work defined by the project scope and capture all deliverables – internal, external, interim; no more, no less • Mutually exclusive elements: The WBS must allow no overlap in scope definition between different elements, causing possible ambiguity or duplication • Plan outcomes, not actions: The WBS elements must be defined in terms of outcomes or results, not actions. This avoids being over-prescriptive regarding methods, allowing for greater creative thinking • Level of detail: The WBS breaks work down into the smallest unit, i.e. ‘work package’, the smallest reasonable unit of work that can be costed / delegated / monitored, etc. • Numbering: WBS elements must be numbered hierarchically and sequentially Example: Horizontal WBS Example: Vertical WBS Examples: Chart v text formats Example: Left-hand column of Gantt Chart 7.5.2 PROJECT LOGIC EVALUATION Pages 135 – 142 in textbook The next step is to sequence the activities through project logic evaluation (PLE). This is important for planning:- • Time: The project manager must know when each WBS activity will start and finish, and, by extension, when the project as a whole will be complete. • Cost: With regard to budgeting, the project manager should indicate when expenditure will start and end for each activity (i.e. cash flow implications). • Quality: The PLE defines the work windows for each task and work package, which will determine the scheduling of any necessary testing. • Sequence: Activities may run sequentially or in parallel, and have predecessors / dependencies. This can be represented through network diagrams … … which can become increasingly complicated / info rich ‘ProjectLibre’ style 7.5.3 PROJECT TIME CONTROL Pages 138 – 142 in textbook • How long does each activity take? (e.g. calculated using *PERT) • What is the longest (slowest) path in your network diagram? This is your ‘critical path’ defining the quickest path to completion • Which activities fall along this critical path? These are the critical activities • When a risk delays a critical activity, it causes ‘drag’ (i.e. slows down the whole project) • Non-critical activities don’t directly affect the core timeline, and can have ‘float’ or ‘slack’, which means any delays don’t directly affect the whole project *Programme Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT) Pages 227 – 230 in textbook When you want to estimate how long any particular project activity will take, you should:- • Make an optimistic estimate (‘If everything goes right first time, how long would this take …?’) • Make a realistic estimate (‘If most things go right, and a few things go wrong, how long would this take … ?’) • Make a pessimistic estimate (‘If everything that can go wrong, does go wrong, how long would this take …?’) • Then combine (1 x optimistic) + (4 x realistic) + (1 x pessimistic) and divide by 6 for PERT estimate • Note: The gap between (a) optimistic and realistic is usually smaller than the gap between (b) realistic and pessimistic, which is normal *Examples of PERT time estimate calculations https://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=t6KVR80B7Dc www.regenesys.co.za VIDEO: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t6KVR80B7Dc 7.5.4 SCHEDULING Pages 143 – 146 in textbook • Project scheduling is the conversion of work breakdown structures and logical sequencing into an achievable methodology for their completion: it creates a timetable and reveals the logic that relates project activities to each other in a coherent fashion. • Gantt charts (also known as ‘project barcharts’, ‘timebar schedules’, etc.) are the most common tools for scheduling project information. • Gantt charts have been automated in almost every available PRM software package (resulting in many different styles) Explanatory layout of Gantt Chart Gantt Chart with progress indicators (e.g. shading in the bars, ‘today line’, etc.) Example of ProjectLibre Gantt Chart Add, edit, delete tasks, timeframes (including progress), predecessors, resources, etc. Gantt Chart with same info automatically develops itself as info is changed 7.5.5 SCHEDULE CONTROL • One of the most common tools to monitor and control the schedule is milestone analysis. • A milestone is an event or stage of the project that represents a significant accomplishment on the road to the project's completion. • Completion of a deliverable (a combination of multiple project tasks), an important activity on the project's critical path, or even a calendar date can all be milestones. Setting milestones in ProjectLibre • Each task in ProjectLibre is fully editable, and one of the options available is to “display task as milestone” which then changes the visual appearance, reporting, etc. • Note: It may sometimes be better to insert a ‘milestone task’ in between all the normal tasks at important stage points QUICKIE PRACTICAL • ‘Project scheduling’ is when you make a WBS, network (sequencing) diagram, do PERT calculations, and compile everything into a Gantt chart Can some brave volunteer please come forward and … • Tell us about a project you know of • Describe the kind and amount of planning the project team did or did not do • Explain the end result of the project’s success or failure Please remember not to forget to remember to:- 1.

  • Experience Finding MS Project Alternatives at CERN
    EPJ Web of Conferences 245, 08017 (2020) https://doi.org/10.1051/epjconf/202024508017 CHEP 2019 Experience Finding MS Project Alternatives at CERN Maria Alandes Pradillo1, Pete Jones1, and Piotr Jan Seweryn1;∗ 1European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) Abstract. As of March 2019, CERN is no longer eligible for academic licences of Microsoft products. For this reason, CERN IT started a series of task forces to respond to the evolving requirements of the user community with the goal of reducing as much as possible the need for Microsoft licensed software. This exercise was an opportunity to understand better the user requirements for dif- ferent types of applications. Here we focus on MS Project, the dominant PC- based project management software, which has been used at CERN for many years. There were over 1,500 installations at CERN when the task force started, with a heterogeneous pool of users in terms of required functionality, area of work and expertise. This paper will present an evaluation of users’ needs and whether they could be fulfilled with cheaper and less advanced solutions for project management and scheduling. Moreover, selected alternatives, their de- ployment and lessons learned will be described in more detail. Finally, it will present the approach on how to communicate, train and migrate users to the proposed solutions. 1 Introduction As of March 2019, CERN is no longer eligible for academic licences of Microsoft products. Since 2018, CERN’s Information Technology Department has started a set of internal task forces, the so called MALT project, to understand better what other alternatives are available on the market for all the existing Microsoft applications used at CERN.

Abstract: With the increasing expansion of the open source tools in our daily life it is crucial to realize which are the best tools of the immensity that exist. In order to compare open source management tools, it is recommended to use a methodology such as QSOS that help to evaluate and choose which tool best suits our objectives. This paper describes some of the most commonly used open source project management tools such as GanttProject, OpenProject, and ProjectLibre and then compares them using QSOS methodology. 1 INTRODUCTION lysis between some of the most used open source tools in project management such as the GanttProject, Many of the projects nowadays continue to fail either OpenProject, and ProjectLibre tools. We use the because they are not delivered within the set deadline, QSOS methodology that allows this comparison to be or because they are not within the stipulated budget. made by assigning evaluations to each tool.

  • Evaluating Open Source Project Management Tools Using Osspal Methodology
    Evaluating Open Source Project Management Tools using OSSPal Methodology Antonio Oliveira1 a and Jorge Bernardino1,2 b 1Polytechnic of Coimbra – ISEC, Rua Pedro Nunes, Quinta da Nora, 3030-199 Coimbra, Portugal 2CISUC - Centre of Informatics and Systems of University of Coimbra, Pinhal de Marrocos, 3030-290 Coimbra, Portugal Keywords: Project Management Tools, Open Source Tools, OSSPal Methodology, Open Project, ProjectLibre, OrangeScrum. Abstract: One of the major differences between a successful project and a failed one is the project management abilities. Project management leads to better alignment of projects within the business’ strategy, so that companies can reduce their costs, accelerate product development, and focus on meeting their customers’ needs. To help with that, project management tools are highly recommended, once they ease planning, scheduling, resource allocation, communication and documentation tasks. In this paper, we assess three popular open source project management tools: OpenProject, Orangescrum and ProjectLibre with the help of the OSSPal methodology. This study can help project managers and programmers on choosing an adequate, current, high quality and affordable tool to perform their projects. 1 INTRODUCTION Consequently, project management is no elementary task and has become more and more According PMBOK Guide (2017), projects are a essential. It embraces phases, areas, skills, resources source of value and benefits for organizations. and techniques which should be properly Technologies changing in a fast-pace, reduced orchestrated, so that they work well together to budgets, shorter deadlines, and limited amount of minimize the risk of failure and ensure that is being resources are challenges normally faced by business offered the highest level of efficiency and leaders currently.

Reporting Introduction to ProjectLibre and Project Management Overview of ProjectLibre ProjectLibre is a recently reinvigorated open source project intended to update and revitalize a software tool intended as an alternative to commercial software like Microsoft Project. It is free software, just as the name implies, but it is also compatible with any other project management software that can read and write .xml formatted documents. Obviously, that includes MS Project, as well as several other such projects and most other 1 open source alternatives like Calligra Plan. The feature set included in the current (1.5 Beta) version of ProjectLibre is largely the one in Open Project, the predecessor open source program. Current features include: task management, work breakdown structure generation (a list and a graphical representation), resource allocation and tracking, and Gantt charts that provide a clear view of the critical path elements of the schedule. Obviously, this list of features is not intended to be comprehensive and there is nothing remarkably unique about this list. Indeed it is appropriate to carefully define some of the terminology frequently used in project management before further elaborating on the capabilities of ProjectLibre, since the use of these terms is not completely uniform, either in project management software nor in organizational usage.

  • Digital Project Management Tools – What You Need to Know
    Digital project management tools – what you need to know What is best digital tool for project management? Of course, that depends on the needs, but how should I understand them? What’s on the market? And what are the trends? This article will tell you what you need to know. Various frameworks for project management such as ISO 21500, PMBOK® Guide (PMI®), PPS, Wenell, SCRUM, PRINCE 2 and others, describe many processes, methods and tools. The list is long and includes tools like Requirements and Change Management, Gantt Schemes, WBS, Risk Analysis, Monitoring, Reporting, etc. The tools can be used by hand, i.e. with pen and paper - or perhaps a whiteboard and sticky notes - and simple calculations. It works great - especially in early phases before structures and working methods have taken shape. In small projects where everyone is often gathered in the same place, it can even work for the entire journey from idea to delivery. But in larger projects and organizations, one should carefully consider using a digital tool, especially if the project team is scattered. It's about communication and transparency; about what happens in a project affects other projects; about dependencies between projects and other parts of the organization that deal with economics, staff, shared resources etc. Sometimes there are standards and legal requirements (e.g. traceability) that must be taken into account. In addition, there are often demands for efficiency improvements to keep costs down. All these factors are accelerating digitization and automation within project management. www.wenell.se Rev. 1.1 This article is not a complete market overview as it’s not really possible to keep one fully up to date or even made relevant (depending on how to draw the boundaries).
