Sample Project
SAMPLE PROJECT
Chapter 16 is a practical exercise – creating a project schedule for a small sample project. The schedule is created in parallel in both Ms Project and Primavera P6, which allows the opportunity to compare important settings and functionality. The exercise includes:
- Creating a WBS
- Populating the schedule with the WBS and the necessary activities
- Calculating Activity durations
- Creating dedicated calendars
- Creating accurate logic
- Doing resource allocation
- Doing resource levelling
- Baselining the schedule
- Updating the schedule
- Creating s-curve and resource histogram reports
Although the chapter focusses on these two software packages, the chapter can easily be adapted to suit any other scheduling software package.
