  1. 1What is project scheduling?requires us to follow some carefully laid-out steps in order for the schedule to take shape
  2. 2What is project planning?as it relates to project scheduling and defined by the PMBoK : the identification of the project objectives and the ordered activity necessary to complete the project including the identification of resource types and quantities required to carry out each activity or task.
  3. 3Whats the difference between AOA and AONactivities on arrow
    activities on node
  4. 4What is the definition of concurrent activities?When two activities can be executed at the same time.
  5. 53 duration estimation methods- past experience
    - expert opinion
    - math derivation : beta distribution
  6. 62 formulas for beta distribution- activity variance
    - activity duration
    a = optimistic
    b = pessimistic
    m = most likely
  7. 7formula for activity variances^2=[ (b-a)/6 ] ^2
  8. 8formula for activity durationTE = (a + 4m + b)/6
  9. 9critical path determines theshortest project length
  10. 103 forward pass rules. ES + duration = EF
    . EF (predecessor) = ES (successor)
    . largest preceding EF at merge becomes ES for succesor
  11. 113 backward pass rules. LF - duration = LS
    . LS (successor) = LF (predecessor)
    . smallest preceding LS at burst becomes LF for predecessor
  12. 12equation for floatfloat = slack = LS - ES = LF - EF
  13. 13how to find the critical pathall activities along the critical path have float = 0
    (may be more than one critical path)
  14. 14how to reduce the critical path- eliminate tasks on the CP
    - convert serial to parallel whenever possible
    - overlap sequential tasks
    - shorten duration CP tasks
    - shorten tasks (early, longest, easiest, that cost least to speed up)
