What is Project?

• Project is the collection of activities, that
  are related or connected, for developing a
  product or a service,
• Projects have always start and end times.
• Projects have always a customer who uses the
  results.

Project Name and Code

• A Project Name must be specified.
• A Project Code of a single word is useful.

5
Important Properties of Projects

Daily Routine Jobs and Projects

• Daily Routine Jobs
• Repeated without any modification
• Routine
• Continuous
• Done before
• Will be done in the same way
• Using experience and past knowledge
• Known
• Example Book press

• Projects
• Not repeatable
• A new product or a service
• Done once
• Never done before
• Will not be done in a similar manner
• Little or no experience
• Ambiguity
• Your EE 494 projects

Project Planning 1/2

• Project planning is done
• To complete the project in time
• To prevent and control delays
• To use resources efficiently
• Effective monitoring and control is possible..

18
Project Planning 2/2

• All activities must be planned in details.
• Detailing can be done in very many different
  ways.
• A hierarchical approach
• Activity tree

19
Activity tree (six level)

• Organization as total
• - Project
• - Activity
• - Sub activity
• - Work package
• - Jobs

20
Project Planning Methods

• Main methods used in project planning
• Gantt Diagram
• PERT Diagram
• Critical Path

Example Replacement of a Power Transformer

• No Activity Start End
• 1 Replacement design 1.6.03 5.6.03
• 2 Trans. Procurement 6.6.03 18.6.03
• 3 Announce Cut down 8.6.03 12.6.03
• 4 Electricity Cut Down 13.6.03 13.6.03
• 5 Remove old trans. 14.6.03 15.6.03
• 6 Place new trans. 19.6.03 22.6.03
• 7 Tests and control 23.6.03 23.6.03
