Day 18 (Tuesday) – Time Management

Time management is the longest knowledge area with seven processes as you would be aware by now. This is also one of the sections from which maximum questions are asked during the PMP exam. You will need to stretch yourself today by an extra thirty minutes to one hour to ensure that you complete this chapter today.

Go through Rita’s process chart to ensure that you know the right sequence of activities in time management starting from when you create the activity list.

Make sure you know how to draw a network diagram and sequence activities correctly by now (since you already had some experience in the first week). You may need to do them in the exam for several questions.

When you come across examples of network diagram illustrating how the critical path is determined and the float is calculated, do these yourself too side-by-side so that you are thorough with this.

Spend the last one hour attempting the 38 end-of-chapter questions.

Key points to note:

a) Understand terminologies like rolling wave planning and decomposition (also used in Scope Management to create WBP) - both are used in the define activities process

b) Know how to create network diagrams using Precedence Diagramming Method (PDM) and what the four logical relationships used to connect various activity nodes are.

c) Understand the concept of lead and lag time.

d) The various estimation techniques are an exam favourite – know how all of these very important techniques are used: Analogous Estimation, Parametric Estimation, Three-Point Estimation (also known as PERT) and Triangular Estimation.

e) Familiarise yourself with Critical Path, Critical Chain, Schedule compression (Fast-tracking & Crashing), Resource Optimisation methods

f) As stressed earlier, also be thorough in knowing how to calculate the float and critical path of any network diagram.
