Project: a series of activities directed to the accomplishment of a desired objective.
Difficulties encountered:
many projects are non-repetitive
prior information to control the project is sparse, non-existent or
only marginally relevant.
Project control techniques then require:
Planning to determine a logical (preferably optimal) project plan
Execution evaluation
Control capability
In engineering projects:
Many interdependent activities are required
Some activities must be executed simultaneously
Some cannot be performed until other activities have been completed or events have occurred
Each activity will require resources in personnel and equipment
Terms
Network path: a sequence of connected activities that runs from the start node to the end node in the network.
Critical Path: the longest path through a network the minimum project completion time.
GANTT Chart
