    What's an effective way to deal with as well as prevent a conflict in a team?

    A conflict related to an issue may be a deeper problem. It can be personal - a lack of vision/direction of the people involved. This can manifest in the form of a disagreement or dispute when really its all about the people involved not knowing what they really want. Once this is clarified then people involved have a bigger picture to focus on & the so called conflict gets dissolved in this vision. The conflict no longer is an issue, there are greater goals to achieve! Visit pmw.net.co check out & register for empowering project management skill building sessions!!

    Create a realistic project schedule! -Factor in Dependencies in Activities!!

    Your Activity Durations depend on the relationship between these Activities. So we CAN'T add the durations algebraically for each work package duration, (which eventually leads to the total project duration at the top of the WBS).  These relationships are called Dependencies & the types are briefly explained here

    Create A Realistic Project Schedule - Integrate WBS with the Scheduling Process !

    The WBS(Work Breakdown Structure) is the input for many project management processes, Scheduling being NO exception.  As you would be aware when you decompose the WBS a level or 2 below the work package level (the level where one can estimate for cost & time), you arrive at Activities. This is a process of integration which ensures that Activities follow from the breakdown of the final project into elements Don't miss out on empowering videos at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC8xJMi0Ons6hayIh-Itmn0A   &  also register for webinars & workshops !!

    Create A Realistic Project Schedule - Allocate Activity Resources !

    When you define the project Activities you now need to assign resources, which could be People, Materials, Equipment etc. depending on your industry. Resources are the intermediate step between Defining Activities & Estimating Activity Resources. Applying resources to Activities gives you the Durations on your way to creating a realistic schedule Visit  pmw.net.co  to pick up invaluable project management skills to hike up project performance!!

  8. Create A Realistic Project Schedule - Estimate Activity Durations

    Create A Realistic Project Schedule - Estimate Activity Durations

    Once you have allocated Resources for the Activities the next step is to apply these on the same to determine Activity Durations.  In the Bottom-Up process you add Activitiy durations in a Work Package to arrive at the duration for that work package & similarly for other work packages. Whats the catch here?  You do not add durations algebraically.  You need to take Activity Dependencies into account, remember? Dependencies we will look at in the next session  Explore  pmw.net.co  , choose & register for webinars & workshops to get practical knowledge & develop skills in project management good practices!!
