This paper describes the use of a simple hands-on case in undergraduate classes to teach the concepts of a traditional PERT/CPM and Critical Chain project management techniques. A simple six-activity project is used to illustrate: the identification of project activities, development of activity time estimates, the development of the project network, the development of the PERT/CPM critical path and the probability of on-time completion using the critical path, the development of the critical chain, and
throughout many categories of project needs, while some tools are specific to certain types of projects. Some of the benefits of using project management tools and techniques as opposed to general management procedures, as mentioned in this week’s lecture, are that they have been proven to work particularly in a project environment and the uniformity of terms and approaches allows for better understanding and communication between members of the project team and the stakeholders. Tools such as Decision
have used extensively project scheduling systems such as Critical Path Method (CPM) and Program Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT). Commercial scheduling software have become very popular in the construction industry. While these software programs are generally well designed and do a good job supporting construction scheduling functions, they are mostly CPM-based and do not calculate probabilities of completion. While CPM has been used extensively due to its simplicity, PERT has seldom been used
have its profile pages - new fields have been added and users can share more information than before. A typical Facebook profile consists of a number of different sections, including Information, Status, Friends, Friends in Other Networks, Photos, Notes, Groups, and The Wall. Most of the sections are self-explanatory but some are specific to Facebook. Facebook Photos With over 1.5 million photos uploaded daily, one of Facebook’s most popular features has been the ability to upload photos. Users

a case for class discussion means that you need to read the case before class, make notes regarding the organization’s external opportunities/threats and internal strengths/weaknesses, perform appropriate analyses, and come to class prepared to offer and defend some specific recommendations. The Case Method versus Lecture Approach The case method of teaching is radically different from the traditional lecture approach, in which little or no preparation is needed by students before class. The
delays in deliveries, accidents, weather conditions, etc., will affect both the cost and the original schedule. In all likelihood, both the cost and time will be greater than planned, scheduled, and estimated. Bar charts or Critical Path Method (CPM) planning systems are ideal for project control by timely updating. Maintaining a cost control system enables the contractor to analyze the productivity of workers, the performance and efficiency of equipment, and the proper allocation of overhead expenses
