  • network diagram
  • to visualise the dependencies and the critical path.
  • 3. Estimate task durations

Estimate the time required for each task, then assign the estimates to each task. For more accurate results, ask your team members to help, and make use of the historical data for tasks of a similar nature to the ones in the current project. As a rule of thumb, provide three-point estimates:

  • There are several techniques available for the effective creation and management of project schedules. Some of these techniques include Gantt charts, task lists, and calendars. This knowledge train will cover the definition and purpose of each of these techniques, the advantages and limitations of using each, when it is appropriate to use each, and benefits for smaller projects. The knowledge train aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of project scheduling techniques to help project managers make informed decisions about which techniques to use for their projects.Gantt charts

Definition and purpose

A

Gantt chart is a type of bar chart that is commonly used in project management to visually represent a project schedule. It shows the start and end dates of project tasks, as well as their duration, as horizontal bars along a timeline. Gantt charts can also be used to display the dependencies between tasks.

Advantages and limitationsAdvantagesProvides a visual representation of task dependenciesSimplifies the identification of the critical path

Capable of showing progress against the planned schedule.LimitationsCan become cluttered and difficult to read for larger projects with many tasksCan be time-consuming to create and maintain

Limited ability to show detailed task dependencies and resource allocation.Task listsWhen to use task listsTask lists are often used in project management as a basic tool for organising and tracking project activities. They can be useful in the early stages of a project, or as a supplement to more advanced scheduling techniques. Task lists are appropriate to use when the project is relatively simple, and the team members are familiar with the tasks.

RAID log

to record and categorise the elements identified during the brainstorming session. Ensure that each item is properly categorised and described in sufficient detail.

4. Prioritising RAID elements
Evaluate the impact and likelihood of each item to determine its priority. Consider using a prioritisation matrix to visualise and rank RAID elements.
5. Developing action plans

For high-priority items, develop strategies to address them and assign responsibilities. Ensure that each action plan is specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART).Tools and techniques for RAID analysis
