Changing Jobs
John has a small but important project. He has
accepted a job in Atlanta and now has to move from
Chicago to Atlanta and be there, ready to work, right
after the Christmas holidays.
If the furniture arrives in good condition at least two
days before John starts work, and for less than Five
thousand dollars, the project will be a success. The
move to Chicago five years ago cost five thousand
dollars, but John is smarter now and will use his
friends to help, so he is confident he can stay within
budget.
Activity Sequencing
Determining the schedule of a project begins by
examining each activity in the WBS to determine its
relationship to the other activities.
Project Logic
The project logic is the development of the activity
sequence or determining the order in which the
activities will be completed.
The process for developing the project logic involves
identifying the predecessorsactivities that come
beforeand successorsthe activities that come
after.
Milestones
Milestones are significant events in your project. An
effective milestone schedule will capture the major
constraints to the project schedule and provide a
summary level overview of the project.
Even though milestone events are significant to the
project, they consume no resources and have no
duration.
Milestones are usually indicated on the project
schedule with a diamond and often have a vertical
line on a time-scaled graph to show the relationship
of various schedule paths to the milestone.
