Project Time Management For

Construction
Project time management is often cited as the main source of conflict on
projects, and most IT projects exceed time estimates.
Main processes include:

Activity definition

Activity sequencing

Activity resource estimating

Activity duration estimating

Schedule development

Schedule control

Project Time Management Processes

Action Definition: Identifying the particular activities that the task
members and stakeholders must perform to create the project deliverables.
Action Sequencing: Identifying and archiving the connections between
task exercises.
Action Asset Evaluating: Estimating what number of assets an
undertaking group ought to use to perform project activities.
Activity Duration Estimating: Estimating the quantity of work periods
that are expected to finish individual activities.
Plan improvement: Analyzing action successions, movement asset
evaluations, and action span assessments to make the venture plan.
Plan control: Controlling and overseeing changes to the undertaking plan.

Activity Definition
An activity or task is an element of work that defines expected duration, a
cost, and resource requirements.
Project schedules grow out of the basic documents that initiate a project
which charter includes start and end dates and budget information.

 Activity definition involves developing more detailed explanations to

understand all the work to be done, so you can develop realistic cost and
duration estimates.

Activity Resource Estimating

Before estimating activity durations, you must have a good idea of the
quantity and type of resources that will be assigned to each activity.
Important issues in estimating resources:

How difficult will it be to complete specific activities on this project?

What is the organizations history in doing similar activities?

Are the required resources available?

Gantt Charts
Gantt diagrams give a standard organization to showing venture plan data by listing
project activities and their corresponding start and finish dates in a calendar format.

Schedule Development
Uses results of the other time management processes to determine the start
and end dates of the project.

 Extreme objective is to make a practical undertaking plan that gives a

premise to observing task progress for the time measurement of the venture.
Important tools and techniques include Gantt charts, critical path analysis
and critical chain scheduling.

Schedule Control
Goals are to know the status of the calendar, impact calculates that bring about
timetable changes, verify that the calendar has changed, and oversee changes
when they happen.

Tools and techniques include:

o

Progress reports.

A schedule change control framework.

Venture administration programming, including plan examination graphs.

Variance analysis, such as analyzing float or slack.

Performance management.

Using Software to Assist in Time Management

Software for facilitating communication helps people exchange schedulerelated information.
Decision support models help analyze trade-offs that can be made.
Project management software can help in various time management areas.
