WEEK 3
Project Schedule (graded)
To develop a schedule for a project, we will use the concept of a
project network, which shows work activities taken from the work
breakdown structure and is organized according to the logical flow in
time and relationships governing when the work will be performed. By
combining this network of work activities with estimates of the time
duration for performing each of the activities, we can create a schedule
for the project work. What types of information can we learn about the
project by reviewing the project schedule and all the information used
to generate it?
Agile Schedule Development (graded)
As we have seen, traditional and Agile schedule developments are
quite different. Agile project management was originally developed to do
software development. Could a traditional process be successfully used
to develop a new software program? Why or why not? Could an Agile
methodology be used to build a strip mall in your home town? Why or why
not? To develop a schedule for a project, we will use the concept of a
