A schedule compression technique in which phases or activities normally performed in sequence are performed in parallel. Only works if activities can be overlapped to shorten the duration. May result in rework and increased risk.

Is a schedule or project planning term for a grouping of tasks that "hang" between two end dates. Can group tasks which are not related in the hierarchical sense of a Work Breakdown Structure, or are not related in a logical sense of a task dependency where one task must wait for another.

Fast Tracking

A mandatory or discretionary constraint that originates from an entity outside the project team's control. For example, the testing activity in a software project may be dependent on the delivery of hardware from an external source.

FS (Finish-to-start)
SF (Start-to-finish)

The relationship between two activities or an activity and a milestone, also known as a logical relationship.

Milestone
Internal Dependency
Lead
Dependency

A schedule compression technique in which cost and schedule tradeoffs are analyzed to determine how to obtain the greatest amount of compression for the least incremental cost. Only works for activities where additional resources will shorten the duration.

Lag
Milestone
Crashing

Diagramming technique that uses feedback loops It can be a distractor

Precedence Diagramming Method (PDM)
Schedule Compression Techniques
Graphical Evaluation and Review Technique (GERT)
Critical Chain Method

Is the process of establishing the policies, procedures, and documentation for planning, developing, managing, executing, and controlling the project schedule. The key benefit of this process is that it provides guidance and direction on how the project schedule will be managed throughout the project.

Plan Schedule Management

The activity is on the arrow or line, and the circle box connects the activities. Dummies allowed. Aka (Activity-on-arrow) (Activity-on-line)

Arrow Diagramming Method (ADM)
Precedence Diagramming Method (PDM) aka
Precedence Diagramming Method (PDM)
Critical Chain Method

A hierarchical representation of resources by category and type. Shows the risks that can potentially occur on a project, broken down by risk category. It aligns with the company accounting system.

Resource Leveling
Resource Smoothing
Resource Breakdown Structure
Logic bar chart

Includes the processes required to manage the timely completion of the project.

Plan Schedule Management
Project Time Management
Project Buffer
Schedule Management Plan

A mandatory or discretionary constraint that originates from within a company or project. For example, if the team cannot test a machine until they assemble it.

Internal Dependency
External dependencies
Dependency
Control Account

The resource-constrained critical path

Crashing
Critical Chain Method
Logic bar chart
Critical Chain

Is a point placed in a WBS above the work package level to help with estimating. A management control point where scope, budget, actual cost, and schedule are integrated and compared to the earned value for performance measurement. A control account may include one or more work packages, but each of the work packages should be associated with only one control account. A control account may include one or more planning packages.

Control Account
Critical Chain
Fast Tracking

Used to optimize the distribution of work among resources and level resources

Activity A starts before Activity B finishes. New system must start before you can finish (shut down) the old system.

SS (Start-to-start)

Milestone
Predecessors
Project Buffer
Crashing

A technique that adjusts the activities of a schedule model such that the requirements for resources on the project do not exceed certain predefined resource limits. In resource smoothing, as opposed to resource leveling, the project's critical path is not changed and the completion date may not be delayed.

Crashing
Resource Leveling
Resource Smoothing
Decomposition

Emphasizes resource flexibility, by using duration buffers for resources and leveling over the course of the project to accommodate limited resources. In contrast, the critical path method (CPM) emphasizes task order and rigid scheduling.

Crashing
Control Account
Critical Chain
Critical Chain Method

Additional buffers are placed at each point that a chain of dependent tasks not on the critical chain feeds into the critical chain. These buffers thus protect the critical chain from slippage along the feeding chains

Dependency
Feeding Buffer
Duration Buffers
Project Buffer

Also called Gantt chart and is used to track day-to-day detail of the project

Critical Chain
Logic bar chart
Activity List
Crashing

One buffer, placed at the end of the critical chain, protects the target finish date from slippage along the critical chain

Project Buffer
Predecessors
Duration Buffers
Feeding Buffer

The process of identifying and documenting relationships among the project activities to arrange the activities in the most efficient and effective order.

Resource Smoothing
Resource Leveling
Sequence Activities
Hammock Activity

Is a work breakdown structure component below the control account that has been scoped, but lacks sufficient work package level details.

Planning Package
Crashing
Fast Tracking
Feeding Buffer

Is a technique used for dividing the project scope and project deliverables into smaller, more manageable parts.

Dependency

A constraint that should be completed by is not absolutely required to be completed before a subsequent item can start.

Mandatory Dependency (Hard Logic)
External dependencies
Discretionary Dependency (Soft Logic)
Internal Dependency

Shortens the project schedule without changing the project scope, to meet schedule constraints, imposed dates, or other schedule objectives
