Time Management
“the processes required to manage timely completion of the project” PMBOK
A successful project is a project that is completed on time, within budget and with the level of quality that satisfies the client’s requirements.
Activity Duration Estimation
● PERT/ 3-Point/ Weighted Average
Formula:
O + P + (4 * ML)

Schedule Compression
The process of reducing the duration of the project. – Add resources to resource-driven critical tasks – “crashing
the schedule”– Adjust dependencies between tasks – “fast tracking”– Remove one or more critical tasks – reduce scope
(testing, training, documentation, etc.)
POLLS
