Gantt charts are used for planning projects of all sizes and they are a useful way of showing what work is scheduled to be done on a specific day. They also help you view the start and end dates of a project in one simple view.]]> 2018-10-17 13:06:26 UTC https://padlet.com/clarelvn/s9ichqgco0yh/wish/293817348 A Gantt chart, commonly used in project management, is one of the most popular and useful ways of showing activities (tasks or events) displayed against time. On the left of the chart is a list of the activities and along the top is a suitable time scale. Each activity is represented by a bar; the position and length of the bar reflects the start date, duration and end date of the activity. 16044714 https://padlet.com/clarelvn/s9ichqgco0yh/wish/293817651 2018-10-17 13:06:59 UTC https://padlet.com/clarelvn/s9ichqgco0yh/wish/293817651 A Gantt chart is a project management tool assisting in the planning and scheduling of projects of all sizes, although they are particularly useful for simplifying complex projects. Project management timelines and tasks are converted into a horizontal bar chart, showing start and end dates, as well as dependencies, scheduling and deadlines, including how much of the task is completed per stage and who is the task owner. This is useful to keep tasks on track when there is a large team and multiple stakeholders when the scope changes. lucyjanekent https://padlet.com/clarelvn/s9ichqgco0yh/wish/293817902 2018-10-17 13:07:23 UTC https://padlet.com/clarelvn/s9ichqgco0yh/wish/293817902 16044714 https://padlet.com/clarelvn/s9ichqgco0yh/wish/293818268 2018-10-17 13:08:00 UTC https://padlet.com/clarelvn/s9ichqgco0yh/wish/293818268 maisie_short https://padlet.com/clarelvn/s9ichqgco0yh/wish/293818611 2018-10-17 13:08:30 UTC https://padlet.com/clarelvn/s9ichqgco0yh/wish/293818611 the sequence of stages determining the minimum time needed for an operation, especially when analysed on a computer for a large organization. 16044714 https://padlet.com/clarelvn/s9ichqgco0yh/wish/293818773 2018-10-17 13:08:47 UTC https://padlet.com/clarelvn/s9ichqgco0yh/wish/293818773 In project management, a critical path is the sequence of project network activities which add up to the longest overall duration, regardless if that longest duration has float or not. This determines the shortest time possible to complete the project. There can be 'total float' (unused time) within the critical path. 16044714 https://padlet.com/clarelvn/s9ichqgco0yh/wish/293819113 2018-10-17 13:09:21 UTC https://padlet.com/clarelvn/s9ichqgco0yh/wish/293819113 16044714 https://padlet.com/clarelvn/s9ichqgco0yh/wish/293819408 2018-10-17 13:09:49 UTC https://padlet.com/clarelvn/s9ichqgco0yh/wish/293819408 lucyjanekent https://padlet.com/clarelvn/s9ichqgco0yh/wish/293819460 2018-10-17 13:09:53 UTC https://padlet.com/clarelvn/s9ichqgco0yh/wish/293819460 16044714 https://padlet.com/clarelvn/s9ichqgco0yh/wish/293820139 2018-10-17 13:10:53 UTC https://padlet.com/clarelvn/s9ichqgco0yh/wish/293820139 Think of critical path in project management as a project modeling technique. It’s a sequence of stages where you figure out what the least amount of time is necessary to complete a task with the least amount of slack. So, the critical path is really the longest length of time it will take to complete the project tasks. lucyjanekent https://padlet.com/clarelvn/s9ichqgco0yh/wish/293820285 2018-10-17 13:11:09 UTC https://padlet.com/clarelvn/s9ichqgco0yh/wish/293820285 16044714 https://padlet.com/clarelvn/s9ichqgco0yh/wish/293820475 2018-10-17 13:11:25 UTC https://padlet.com/clarelvn/s9ichqgco0yh/wish/293820475 maisie_short https://padlet.com/clarelvn/s9ichqgco0yh/wish/293820481 2018-10-17 13:11:25 UTC https://padlet.com/clarelvn/s9ichqgco0yh/wish/293820481 mollymoo999 https://padlet.com/clarelvn/s9ichqgco0yh/wish/293821193 2018-10-17 13:12:32 UTC https://padlet.com/clarelvn/s9ichqgco0yh/wish/293821193 In its simplest form, agile planning is nothing more than measuring the speed a team can turn user stories into working, production-ready software and then using that to figure out when they'll be done. Our to-do list on an agile project is called the master story list. maisie_short https://padlet.com/clarelvn/s9ichqgco0yh/wish/293821221 2018-10-17 13:12:35 UTC https://padlet.com/clarelvn/s9ichqgco0yh/wish/293821221 How Is CPM Used in Project Management?To calculate project duration, track progress and evaluate schedule accuracy.Critical path analysis should be performed during both project planning and tracking:Planning: Estimate the project schedule more accuratelyTracking: Monitor progress and determine if the project is on track to meet its deadline 16044714 https://padlet.com/clarelvn/s9ichqgco0yh/wish/293821341 2018-10-17 13:12:47 UTC https://padlet.com/clarelvn/s9ichqgco0yh/wish/293821341 16050706 https://padlet.com/clarelvn/s9ichqgco0yh/wish/293821467 2018-10-17 13:12:58 UTC https://padlet.com/clarelvn/s9ichqgco0yh/wish/293821467 emily_kane2 https://padlet.com/clarelvn/s9ichqgco0yh/wish/293822125 2018-10-17 13:14:06 UTC https://padlet.com/clarelvn/s9ichqgco0yh/wish/293822125 as we start delivering, one of two things is going to happen. We are going to discover that a) we are going faster than expected or b) we are going slower than we originally thought. maisie_short https://padlet.com/clarelvn/s9ichqgco0yh/wish/293822911
Faster than expected means you and your team are ahead of schedule. Slower than expected (more the norm) means you have too much to do and not enough time.

When faced with too much to do, agile teams will do less (kind of like what you and I do when faced with a really busy weekend). They will keep the most important stories, and drop the least important. This is called adaptive planning and it’s how Agile teams work within their budgets and keep their projects real.

When you are collecting tasks for the critical path, they must have zero float. But if the tasks do have some float, then they go on the non-critical path, which means if this task is delayed the project can still finish on time. lucyjanekent https://padlet.com/clarelvn/s9ichqgco0yh/wish/293823856 2018-10-17 13:17:07 UTC https://padlet.com/clarelvn/s9ichqgco0yh/wish/293823856 The technique for figuring out the critical path in your project can be boiled down to four essential steps.List all the tasks needed to complete the project.
