A problem creates a need |
|
|
|
To solve the problem or fulfill the need,
formulate a measurable goal |
|
|
|
Once a goal is set, you can develop a strategy
to meet it. |
|
|
|
A project is a strategy to meet a goal |

The three most important time elements: |
|
|
|
Duration of each step |
|
|
|
Earliest time at which the step may be started |
|
|
|
Latest time at which the step may be started |

You have three chances to solve a problem: |
|
|
|
.When you first think of it. |
|
|
|
.When you first detect it |
|
|
|
.When it actually happens |
|
|
|

|
|
Possible Solution |
|
Plan backups and cross train |
|
Contract out |
|
Check references before contract |
|
Use multiple sources |
|
Follow up on a regular basis |
|
Use penalty/incentive plans |
|
Look for substitutions |
|
Shift resources to the critical path |
|
Contract out,hire additional people |
|
Eliminate nonessential elements |
|
Look for cheaper substitutions |
|
|
|
Problem |
|
1.Loss or absence of a team member |
|
|
|
2. Vendor delays in shipping supplies |
|
|
|
3. Resources not available or resources spread
too thin |
|
4. Budget starting to exceed estimates |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Accept partial delivery |
|
Offer incentives |
|
Demand compliance |
|
Crash tasks |
|
Parallel tasks |
|
Reallocate resources |
|
|
|
Renegotiate |
|
Recover during later steps |
|
Narrow project scope |
|
Deploy more resources |
|
Accept substitution |
|
Seek alternatives |
