Course Project Part 3: Plan Schedule Management: Define Activities, Assess Activity Durations, and Sequence Activities

The homebuilding project continues in Unit III with the development of the project schedule. In this assignment, refer to the scope elements developed in Unit II. After reviewing the scope, complete the schedule documents below.

Plan schedule management: Document in one to two pages your strategy for developing and controlling the project schedule for your homebuilding project. Feel free to draw upon templates for this purpose by searching external websites you may find. After completing the project schedule management document, perform the following additional requirements.

Part A:

Define activities: Identify at least 25 activities associated with your homebuilding project.

Part B:

Assess activity durations: Use the weighted average of three-point estimates based upon the Program Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT) formula to assign durations for each activity.

Part C:

Sequence activities: Identify predecessors for each of your activities. Then, employ the network diagram and calculate the schedule duration using the forward and backward pass methods.

The plan schedule management document along with the three parts (Parts A, B, and C) must be at least three pages. Submit your documents into Blackboard for grading.
