Experiment NO: 2
Objectives
1. Outline
Project work planning.
PERT Chart.
Examples.
2. Background
Project management is the process of planning and controlling the development of a system within a
specified timeframe at a minimum cost with the right functionality.
Duration of task.
Current task status.
Task dependencies.
Key milestone dates.
Experiment: 3
Objectives
Aim1: Using PERT Chart for establishing a timeline and arranging tasks;
1. Creating Tasks:To add a new task in a chart, click and drag with your mouse:
2. Tasks names entry
3. Milestones(outdents,indents)
Entering Information using the Task box on the screen
Experiment: 4
Experiment No: 5
Aim1:Calendar
1.Define the workdays, hours and non working days for a project
Aim2: Managing the tasks in PERT Chart;
1. Resources entry
Experiment No.: 6
Resource: ms_project_2010
(in the dialog box above for Display, Schedule and Advanced tabs)
4. Enter tasks, their information, and durations (don't forget milestones) in the Gantt view
(double-click task name for Task Information box)
6. Set up your resource pool and their details in the Resource Sheet view.
Experiment No.: 7
1. Assign resources to tasks, set their work effort, and add any fixed costs.
3. Review and refine the project schedule and budget to meet requirements
6. To add a milestone the only difference is that the duration of the activity must
~ be zero (below is an example):
Note: By double clicking on a Task or milestone, you can modify its information with
~ a form that prompts.
1. For viewing the schedule showing the Slack go to Views -- More Views --
~ Detailed Gantt View -- Apply.
2. In this click on View -- Table -- Schedule.
3. Slack appears as thin bars to the right of a task, with slack values adjoining
the regular Gantt bars.
4. You can also view the free slack and total slack of a task in the sheet.
5. You can move the activity within the available slack time, to balance the
~ resources, in the cases where over allocation is present.

Experiment No.: 8
1. Critical Path Analysis (CPA) helps you to lay out all tasks that must be completed as part
of a project.
2. CPA helps you to identify the minimum length of time needed to complete a project.
3. For finding CP list all the activities and enter early start, late start, early finish and late finish
~ info of all the activities.
4. You can do this under insert/columns and selecting each terms.
5. Following Screen shot demonstrate how to insert.
6. Project automatically calculates ES, EF, LS and LF based on the starting/ending dates you
~ have provided.
Showing Critical Path:
1. You can show the critical path in multiple ways. You can show critical path using
~ Gantt Chart, Detailed Gantt, Network Diagram, and showing only critical tasks.
2. In Gantt Chart click on Gantt Chart wizard and choose critical path and follow
~ the steps.
3. In Detailed Gantt click on View -- More Views -- Detailed Gantt -- Apply. It shows
the critical path with slack time.
4. In Network Diagram click on View -- More Views -- Network Diagram -- Apply.
5. For showing only the critical tasks, click on Gantt Chart -- Filter -- Critical.
6. The following slides has screenshots of how to show critical path using various
~ methods.
Course: CNE 213 Engineering Project Management
