Lab on Microsoft Project

Today, we get a hands-on on the Microsoft Project software to create a schedule for our project.
The software enables us to keep tracks on our progess and to reminds us on the date and time remaining for us to be able to complete the project.

The following is what we have learnt from using Microsoft project that is being projected via Gantt Chart for our project:

Tutroial 4

Today we are to make use of our mindmap to create precedence table and to draw out the Activity on node ( AON ) chart with the forward and backward flow. With the use of the Work Breakdown Structure( WBS ) to do scheduling, costing and risk management.

We are able to create out AON chart with respect to the deadline given so to have the completion time and float for the project.

With the AON chart, there is some definitions such as:

1. Earliest Start Time (EST)


2. Duration


3. Earliest Finish Time (EFT)


4. Lastest Start Time (LST)


5. Lastest Finish Time (LFT)


6. Float


7. Total Float

With such definitions, we would be able to plan out our project in a more efficient way.
