Part $5$: Advanced Scheduling Techniques and Resource Management $(20\%)$

Topics Covered:

$-$ Resource Scheduling Techniques $($CPM$,$ PERT, Critical Path, and Location$-$based Scheduling$)$

Instructions:

Critical Path Method $($CPM$)$ & PERT Analysis

$-$ Explain the differences between CPM and PERT in project scheduling. Using a hypothetical project $($e$.$g$.,$ launching a new product$),$ develop a project schedule using both CPM and PERT techniques. Identify the critical path and discuss how these methods can be used to mitigate project delays.

Resource Scheduling Plan

$-$ You are managing a large$-$scale infrastructure project with significant resource constraints.

$-$ Develop a resource scheduling plan using location$-$based scheduling technique.

$-$ Discuss how you would allocate resources effectively to ensure timely project completion without overburdening the team.
