Project Activity and Risk Planning 1 What are Projects?  Group of Activities  Beginning, Middle, End  Well-Defined End Result 2 Examples of Projects        Construction Research and Development Design of New Product or Process Spacecraft Wedding Can You Think of Projects? Can You Think of Non-Projects? 3 Project Life Cycle 4 Project Planning Consists of:  Purpose  Objectives  Overview  Contracts 5 Project Planning Consists of:    Schedules (PERT/CPM) Resources Personnel These Areas Can Be Handled Well with Microsoft Project and Other Software 6 Project Planning Consists of:  Potential Problems and Risks      Risk Management Planning Risk Identification Qualitative Risk Analysis (Risk Matrix) Quantitative Risk Analysis (Probabilities, Simulation) Evaluation and Control (Feedback) 7 Initial Project Planning: Draw System Boundaries A System Consists of the Following:     Mission and Goals - Objectives - Performance - Effectiveness - Cost Environment Resources Subsystems 8 In Project Planning Activities Must be Identified Activities are Groups of Work Elements or Tasks with:  Similar Technology & Groups of Personnel  Single Duration of Time (Activity Completion is Event)  Definite Beginning & End 9 List of Activities Can Be Developed with:  “Gozinto” Chart  Bill of Materials  Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) Basically a “Bill of Work Units” 10 Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) 11 WBS Information For Each Work Element (Activity) We Need:  Work Statement (Input/Output)  Vendors, Contacts, Subcontractors  End Item Specifications  Cost Accounting Numbers & Costs (ABC) (Assigns Activities to Cost Drivers to Costs – E.g.
