Question

Charlie wants you to include the following topics in your presntation: an overview of project management and its hrity,a description of the process, and an explanation of the most imporant terms and concepts. Charlie also wants you to describe task identifcation, various types of relationsships among tasks, and schedule development, He says you should show how Gantt and PERT/CPM charts are developed, and how hey can be used to plan, track , and control projects.Charlie also said that your presentation should include a specific example to illustrate all the main points.Assignments:1.Create a Microsoft powermpoint prentations that will meet the requirements that charlie outlined to you.2.Creat a Microsoft Word handout that will meet the requirements that Charlie outlined to you...3.Create a project management exampe with at least six tasks. Assign durations and task dependencies. AT least three of the tasks should be dependent on other taks. Use this example to display a Gantt Chart.4.USe the same data as Assignment 3 display a PERT/CPM chart.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Project management is the process of planning, designing and implementing a project in an organized way to achieve the goals of an organization.

The project management process includes various activities like,

Definition – Initializing the project, identifying the needs

Planning – Organizing the activities and schedule the tasks

Execution – Coordinating people and resources and implement the tasks

Control – Monitoring the implementations, ensuring the objectives and goals

Closing – Acceptance of the project.

Task identification:

• Tasks are derived from the project deliverables and the requirements of the deliverables and the goals.

• All activities required for a complete process are to be identified.

• Identify intermediate deliverables for each major component

Relationships among tasks

The tasks can be interrelated. Start of completion of one task may depend on the start or end of another task. There can be four types of relationships among the tasks. They are:

• Finish-to-start – Task (B) cannot start until task (A) finishes

• Start-to-Start - Task (B) cannot start until task (A) starts

• Finish-to-Finish - Task (B) cannot finish until task (A) finishes

• Start-to-Finish - Task (B) cannot finish until task (A) starts

Schedule development:

Schedule development depends on the requirement, resources, duration and end date of the project. It provides a basis for monitoring the project progress.

• Gantt chart, PERT, CPM are the tools used to represent the project schedule.

• Gantt chart is the common tool for displaying project schedule information. They are easy to create and understand.

• These tools are useful at many stages of project management.

• They give critical path and slack time. Provide project documentation. They are useful in monitoring costs
