1. Activity
definition involves
identifying the specific activities that the project
team members and stakeholders must perform to produce the project
deliverables. An activity or task is an element of work normally found on the
work breakdown structure (WBS) that has an expected duratio n, a cost, and
resource requirements. The main outputs of this process are an activity list,
activity attributes, milestone list and requested changes.
2. Activity sequencing
involves identifying and documenting the relationships
between project activities. The main outputs of this process include a project
schedule network diagram, requested changes, and updates to the activity list and
attributes.
3. Active resource estimating involves estimating how many resources (people,
requirement, and material), a project team should use to perform project
activities. The main outputs of this process are activity resource requirements, a
resource breakdown structure, requested changes, and updates to activity
attributes and resource calendars.
4. Activity
duration estimating
involves estimating the number of work periods
that are needed to complete individual activities. Outputs include activity
duration estimates and updates to activity attributes.
5. Schedule development involves analyzing activity sequences, activity resource
estimates, and activity duration estimates to create the project schedule. Outputs
include a project schedule, schedule model data, a schedule baseline, requested
changes, and updates to resource requirements, activity attributes, the project
calendar, and
the project management plan.
