Mastering Project Management Tools for Effective Design Process

Managing the Design Process • Project must • Accomplish the goals - scope • Be done within resources - spending • Be done on time - scheduling

Four Functions of Management • Planning: scope, spending, scheduling • Organizing: who is responsible for what • Leading: motivating and dividing work • Controlling: tracking progress toward goals

Project Management Tools • Work breakdown structure • Linear responsibility chart • Team calendar • Gantt chart • Activity network or PERT chart

Work Breakdown Structure • A hierarchical representation of all the tasks that must be accomplished to complete the project • breakdown of tasks, not roles or people • not a flow chart showing temporal or logical relationships among tasks • simply a convenient way to organize tasks

Linear Responsibility Chart Identifies who has primary responsibility for each task and who participates

Team Calendar Time frame and deadlines

Gantt Chart Maps activities against a time line

Activity Network Graph of activities and events showing logical order in which they must be performed. Also known as Program Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT) chart
