In project management, float or slack is the amount of time that a task in a project network can be delayed without causing a delay to: [1]: 183 subsequent tasks ("free float") project completion date ("total float"). Total float is associated with the path.
In project management, a critical path is the sequence of project network activities that adds up to the longest overall duration, regardless of whether that longest duration has float or not. This determines the shortest time possible to complete the project.
In project management, resource smoothing is defined by A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK Guide) as a "resource optimization technique in which free and total float are used without affecting the critical path" of a project. [1]
1. Agile: A Flexible, Iterative Process. The truth is, agile project management isn’t a methodology, but a set of principles for developing software. Once you’re on board with these agile ...
The precedence diagram method (PDM) is a tool for scheduling activities in a project plan. It is a method of constructing a project schedule network diagram that uses boxes, referred to as nodes, to represent activities and connects them with arrows that show the dependencies. It is also called the activity-on-node (AON) method.
The goal of schedule compression is to shorten the project without amending the project scope, according to the schedule constraints, required time and other objectives. Any compression must be done in the critical path activities.
The attack happened at about 7 p.m. on a New Haven line Metro North train arriving in the station, according to the MTAPD.
The program evaluation and review technique (PERT) is a statistical tool used in project management, which was designed to analyze and represent the tasks involved in completing a given project. PERT was originally developed by Charles E. Clark for the United States Navy in 1958; it is commonly used in conjunction with the Critical Path Method ...
