Case Study 10.1 Project Scheduling at Blanque Cheque Construction (A), Page


Questions


Develop a project network consisting of at least 20 steps that should be done to complete the project. As the case suggests, keep the level of detail for these activities general, rather than specific. Be sure to indicate some degree of precedence relationship among the activities.


Suppose you now wanted to calculate duration estimates for these activities. How would you make use of the following approaches? Are some more useful than others?

Expert opinion


Past history


Mathematical derivation


Explanation / Answer

Duration Estimates

Expert opinion:

1) Experts experience

2) Professional analysis

Past history:

Review all projects which were earlier used in same type of projects as well as take some reference from that.

Mathematical derivation:

Accuracy is the most useful approach we can use for derivations rather than any tool which may give approximate results.

No approach will be as useful as accuracy when considered mathematical expressions as well as derivations.
