Schedule Management: Keeping LumiGems On Time
Ahmed meticulously plans the project timeline, ensuring every step for LumiGems is accounted for and achievable.
Ahmed breaks down the project work packages (from the WBS) into smaller, manageable tasks or activities. This forms the basis of the schedule.
Ahmed identifies and documents the relationships (dependencies) between project activities. Which tasks must finish before others can start? He might use a network diagram.
For each activity, Ahmed estimates the type and quantity of resources required – team members, equipment, materials, and supplies for LumiGems.
Ahmed estimates the amount of work effort needed to complete each activity, considering resource availability and productivity. This is often expressed in work periods (e.g., days, weeks).
Ahmed integrates the activity sequences, durations, resource requirements, and schedule constraints to create the project schedule. He might use Gantt charts or milestone charts.
