30. CPM  CPM or Critical Path Methodology was developed in 1950’s to organize and track numerous activities associated with Polaris missile defense program  Using CPM helps identify and coordinate various tasks associated with completion of project

31. CPM  Allows various information about a specific project to be found including— --total time to complete to project --scheduled start and finish dates for each task pertaining to project’s completion --tasks that are ‘critical’ to project and must be completed exactly as scheduled --slack time available in non-critical tasks, as well as how long they can be delayed before affecting project’s finish date

32. CPM  Reminders after Lecture 3!  Read chapter 10 in Entrepreneurs Handbook II, Advanced Product Management  Slides: http://www.old.dramatispersonae.org/images/critical-path- scheduling.ppt http://www.old.dramatispersonae.org/images/critical-path- scheduling.ppt  Schedule:  http://www.old.dramatispersonae.org/images/beta-launch- tech-product-service.pdf http://www.old.dramatispersonae.org/images/beta-launch- tech-product-service.pdf  http://www.old.dramatispersonae.org/images/beta-launch- tech-product-service.mpp http://www.old.dramatispersonae.org/images/beta-launch- tech-product-service.mpp  Hand in your message map and provide youtube URL for your elevator pitch during lecture 4

33. CPM --Develop list of tasks required to complete the project --Make task so purpose is clear/usually best to use two words—verb followed by noun; e.g., build walls, install windows --Define tasks so that they are right size/if task too large in scope, may hide smaller tasks that need to be completed --Turning on cement mixer too finely detailed to be valuable to CPM/this level of detail quickly leads to cluttered and confusing schedule --Tasks should be well defined, precise and detailed but they should also be significant to furthering project

34. CPM --Order tasks and determine immediate predecessors for each --Identify what tasks need to be completed before next task can be carried out; i.e. the foundation must be completed before walls built

35. CPM  Determine completion time for each task/how long individual tasks take to complete?  Sources for determining these times are: - your own judgment and experience - draw on the experience of others - obtain estimates from professionals - if you know what something costs in terms of its labor content and you have an hourly wage, you can divide former by latter to arrive at preliminary estimate of task time

36. CPM

39. CPM–forward pass

41. CPM  Before you begin backward pass to complete flow chart, you need to know that Latest Finish Time (LF) for last task is exactly equal to the Earliest Finish Time (EF) for the last task  This is an identity

42. CPM
