A realistic schedule:
- Includes a detailed knowledge of the work to be done
- Has task sequences in the correct order
- Accounts for external constraints beyond the control of the team
- Can be accomplished on time, given the availability of skilled people and enough equipment
Steps for planning the project:
- Create the project definition
- Develop a risk management strategy
- Build a work breakdown structure
- Identify task relationships
- Estimate work packages
- Calculate initial schedule
- Assign and level resources
Identify task relationships: Two basic rules when graphing task relationships with a network diagram
- Define task relationships only between work packages
- Task relationships should reflect only sequence constraints between work packages, not resource constraints.
Estimate work packages: Cost estimates come from four sources
- Labor estimates
- Equipment estimates
- Materials estimates
- Fixed-price bids
