AI Summary
The project management tools help the project manager and project team members to manage the project effectively and reduce the risks of project failure. This project study examines the usage of project management tools such as Gantt chart and PERT chart which lead to effective project management. The critical path and project float is also determined in the report. The project manager uses the project float time for scheduling the timing of tasks and timeframes to make best decisions to make sure that the project is on time. The critical path helps to determine important project activities that have impact on the project schedule. The shortest duration for problem 1 is 54 weeks and problem 3 is 84 weeks which is analyzed by using critical path method. Resource leveling is used for resource planning and scheduling the project activities. Resource constraints are caused when staffs are main source of project limitation. Resource leveling has impact on project schedule which causes delay in entire project plan.

Abstract
The project management tools help the project manager and project team members to manage the
project effectively and reduce the risks of project failure. This project study examines the usage
of project management tools such as Gantt chart and PERT chart which lead to effective project
management. The critical path and project float is also determined in the report. The project
manager uses the project float time for scheduling the timing of tasks and timeframes to make
best decisions to make sure that the project is on time. The critical path helps to determine
important project activities that have impact on the project schedule. The shortest duration for
problem 1 is 54 weeks and problem 3 is 84 weeks which is analyzed by using critical path
method. Resource leveling is used for resource planning and scheduling the project activities.
Resource constraints are caused when staffs are main source of project limitation. Resource
leveling has impact on project schedule which causes delay in entire project plan.

Introduction
The report discusses the activity-on-node, Gantt chart and critical path for the project
plan of new hybrid handheld game console project. The main activities of the project plan are
requirements specification, content specification, design, implementation, integration and
subcontracting. In this report, the project management tool such as Gantt chart is used to
represent the time for each project activities needed to complete the project work. Martinelli and
Milosevic (2016) have stated that it is simple and easier to understand the project progress. The
report also discusses the Precedence network diagrams which is visual representation technique
which can depict the project activities involved into the project.
Part A- Planning documents for new hybrid handheld game console project
Problem 1:
1. Activity-on-node network
The activity-on-node is the term of project management which is referred to precedence
diagramming method that uses boxes to present the schedule activities of entire project plan. The
boxes and nodes are being associated from staring to finish with arrows to present the reasonable
representation of the dependencies among the schedule activities (Too and Weaver 2014). In
terms of project management, float or total slack is sum of time that the project job is delayed
without causing delay to project completion time.

Figure 2: Critical path
From the above diagram, it is identified that the critical path is the shortest possible
duration for the project which is highlighted in red.
Critical path activities = 1-2-3-4-13-22-24-34-42-43-44-51
= (3+5+4+1+2+3+8+7+3+1+5+12) weeks
= 54 weeks
Therefore, 54 weeks is the shortest possible duration for the project.

Gantt chart is the graphical method to demonstrate the development of the project work
(Fuller et al. 2017). The tasks of the project plan are complex and it is dependent on each other

which are shown in the diagram. With the project management tool such as Gantt chart, the sub-

According to the study of Harrison and Lock (2017), in order to estimate the human
resources for the project plan, it is estimated that there are total of 10 staffs selected at any one
time to work into the project. The resources are level as per the limitation into the project work.
It is also noticed that the tasks are not broken into pieces and not conducted for long period of
time. The new Gantt chart for the project is shown along with the resource usage which is
described in new resource diagram, then it will describe the shortest possible duration for the

Therefore, it is seen that the duration of entire project is increased due to resource
constraints.

project work. Perceptions present way people become aware of other people’s concerns (Kerzner
2017). Therefore, the critical projects are crucial perception for the project manager.
Recommendations
In order to overcome with the resource constraints in the project, following
recommendations are suggested to the project manager as:
Resource planning: A proper resource planning is required in the project before the
activity is required to have resources assigned to the project activities as per their availability.
Therefore, proper resource estimation is done to assign the resources to each project activities in
activity list.
Hire of more resources: As per division of the project activities for conducting the
project work, the HR manager should hire resources as per the tasks. The resources are selected
based on their skills and expertise.
Conclusion
It is concluded that the report is relevant to the project management bodies of knowledge
which is an evaluation tool used to focus as well as measure management of change within
project domains. The project manager ensures that all terms of project are being addressed. The
project management tool is used to handle change dynamics will add towards supporting as well
as leveraging individual capital of organization in awareness with familiar goals as well as
improved the development deliverables.

From this report, it is learnt that monitoring and controlling of project plan is required to
keep track of the project. The project management team can understand reasons for the project
and the factors which can influence the project activities. There is also support plus participation
of the project stakeholders to ensure controlled development of project plan. This report
addresses development of activity on node diagram and analyzes corrective actions to determine
the project schedule. We have leant about the critical path method which measures the longest
path of the developed project activities to complete the project work. When any of the project
activity is delayed, then it impacts the considered project completion time. Understanding of the
critical path permits the project manager to decide which project schedule activities are flexible
and those are the activities which are not on critical path. By observing the network diagram, the
project manager can decide the float or slack. It is sum of time that the calendar activities can
stoppage without reasoning any delay to the starting date of the tasks or project completion time.
By addition of resource limits, the result leads that the critical path is longer. Resource forced
critical path is termed as critical chain.
Part B:
1. Network diagram
The network diagram is schematic displays of the project schedule tasks along with
interdependencies among the project activities. The graphical view of the project related
activities will convey vital schedule needed to examine as well as adjust the project schedule
(Larson and Gray 2015). The network diagram visually expresses the critical path which allows
the project manager to give priority to the project tasks moreover get proper actions to meet with
scheduled project deadlines.
