32
What is a Deliverable?
Any unique and verifiable product, result or capability to perform a service that must be produced to complete a process, phase, or project.

Exercise 1 – WBS Development
45 minutes total for this exercise.Divide into two teams.Select a Project Manager.Using the provided self-stick notes, create
a WBS for taking a vacation.Your PM will discuss how your team built
the WBS, and share your WBS with the class.
![Page 42: Project Management Methodology Training. 2 Kickoff Message Executive Perspective.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081512/5697bff21a28abf838cbbfa4/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)

What is a Dependency?
A dependency is a logical relationship between two activities or projects. Some dependencies are mandatory, others are discretionary, others can be external. It is not that difficult to imagine if you keep in mind that the predecessor is the task that determines the scheduling for the successor.
The four types of relationships are:
Finish-To-Start (FS)Finish-To-Finish (FF)Start-To-Start (SS)Start-To-Finish (SF)
![Page 43: Project Management Methodology Training. 2 Kickoff Message Executive Perspective.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081512/5697bff21a28abf838cbbfa4/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
43
Finish-To-Start Dependency
Finish-To-Start (FS)
Task A
Task B
This is the most common dependency you will see and use.
Example: Define project requirements; write the software code. (Something must finish before something else can start).
![Page 44: Project Management Methodology Training. 2 Kickoff Message Executive Perspective.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081512/5697bff21a28abf838cbbfa4/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
44
Finish-To-Finish Dependency
Finish-To-Finish (FF)
Task A
Task B
Example: Bake the turkey; cook the stuffing (both need to finish at the same time).
![Page 45: Project Management Methodology Training. 2 Kickoff Message Executive Perspective.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081512/5697bff21a28abf838cbbfa4/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
45
Start-To-Start Dependency
Start-To-Start (SS)
Task A
Task B
Example: Install wiring; install plumbing (both can start at the same time).
![Page 46: Project Management Methodology Training. 2 Kickoff Message Executive Perspective.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081512/5697bff21a28abf838cbbfa4/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
46
Start-To-Finish Dependency
Start-To-Finish (SF)
Task A
Task B
Example: I take my car to my mechanic and tell him there is a problem with the radio and it needs new brake pads, and that I have to have the car back by 5 pm. If the mechanic scheduled his work, he would estimate the time it would take to do the brake pads, say 30 min. He estimates the radio at 60 min. Then, he schedules backward from the 5pm deadline, and plans to start working on my car at 3:30 to complete by 5. In this situation, he is scheduling backward from 5. So the Start of my task, using the car, determines the finish of his task, replacing the pads. In turn, the startof fixing the pads determines the finish of fixing the radio. Ergo, each is a SF relationship. For this reason SF is of best use in determining when things like deliveries SHOULD be scheduled. The limitation is that if the delivery never happens then the predecessor will not move.

50
What is Lead Time?
The time by which a predecessor event must be completed in order to allow sufficient time for the activities that must elapse before a specific event is reached to be completed.
Lead Time for Task d Example: Awaiting delivery of carpet.
Lay Carpet
Order Carpet

56
What is a Critical Path?
The series of activities that take the longest path through the network.
Caution:There may be multiple critical paths on a project.These paths must be managed to keep the schedule on
track.

Non-critical path
Critical path
A Schedule duration crash is the effort to reduce the overall duration of a schedule. Usually the following techniques are employed:
Adding or reallocating resources (human or otherwise) Increasing work hours (overtime, weekends)
Crashing is done as a trade-off between shorter task duration and higher task costs.

Fast Tracking pulls tasks ahead of schedule (parallel) – which increases risk.
Fast Tracking pulls tasks ahead of schedule (parallel) – which increases risk.
Compressing the project schedule by overlapping activities normally performed in sequence (such as design and construction), or to perform schedule activities in parallel.

Use Crashing and Fast Tracking
Avoid the “sky is falling” moments by analyzing your critical path options.
Review your dependencies for accuracy and determine if they are mandatory or optional.

Estimating Recommendations
Involve the team doing the work to develop the estimates.
Base estimates on past history if possible.
Secure agreement on the level of precision and communicate that level of precision.
Account for expected conditions and situations.
Base your estimates on assumptions of staff availability.
Remember that different resourceswill drive significantly different outcomes. (Expert vs. novice).

Performance ReportingOur method of reporting percent complete is:
For OBJECTIVE measurements – use actual (IE: 14.9% complete)
For SUBJECTIVE measurements – use 0% / 25% / 50% / 75% / 100% complete.
0% - means the task has not started
100% - means the task has completed

Elements of Risk Management
The Event or Trigger that might occur
The Probability that the event may occur or the condition may change
The Impact on the project if the event occurs or the condition changes
The Severity of the risk is a combination of the probability and the impact which determines your risk response plan

Risks can be identified by a number of methods: Brainstorming Crawford Blue Slip Fishbone Diagrams Historical Issues Etc.
Risk Identification Process
Risk Identification occurs at the start of the project and is periodically revisited as the project progresses.

Portfolio Mgmt Vs. Governance
Portfolio Management is the process of determining and prioritizing future work efforts to meet longer term goals.
Governance is the process of ensuring accountability for active work efforts. It provides alignment between:
Executives (strategies) Managers (operations) Value opportunities (results)
It helps us assess current state & adjust if necessary.
![Page 73: Project Management Methodology Training. 2 Kickoff Message Executive Perspective.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081512/5697bff21a28abf838cbbfa4/html5/thumbnails/73.jpg)

74
Governance Roles & Responsibilities
Ensure alignment with business strategy
Provide prioritization of new work vs. existing
Rebalance resource commitments across the organization as needed
Deliver decisions for escalated change requests for strategic efforts (scope / time / cost)
Removal of bottlenecks
![Page 75: Project Management Methodology Training. 2 Kickoff Message Executive Perspective.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081512/5697bff21a28abf838cbbfa4/html5/thumbnails/75.jpg)
75
Governance Proposal
Implement bi-weekly governance board reviews, until such a time that monthly reviews are deemed adequate.
Focus initially on larger scale efforts with greatest risk for failure.
Over time, roll all efforts into the process, focusing on those areas with need for assistance / guidance.
![Page 76: Project Management Methodology Training. 2 Kickoff Message Executive Perspective.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081512/5697bff21a28abf838cbbfa4/html5/thumbnails/76.jpg)

Each risk condition is analyzed to assess:
The Probability that the condition will occur.
The Impact this risk will have on the project.
The combination of probability and impact determines the Severity of the risk. (Shown on next page.)
The severity of the risk determines the response.

87
Risk Monitoring & Control Process
Throughout the course of the project, risks must be constantly monitored.
Have project conditions changed?
Have any triggers occurred?
Did the impact of a risk change?
Did the probability of occurrence change?
What new risks have been identified during the project?
Are mitigation plans & contingency actions being executed appropriately and effectively?

Note About Resource Utilization
When people are utilized to their full potential to achieve organizational goals, everyone wins.
When people are not utilized to their full potential, or are sitting idle, we all loose.
That idle resource could be removed and the monies reallocated as raises, training dollars, etc…
Thought for the day
If it were your money, would you pay that idle resource who isn’t producing?
