PROJECT SCHEDULING AND TIME MANAGEMENT
Revision Area One
Answer 1
Time management is an essential need of project management as good time management
enables increase effectiveness in management and implementation of a project. Project manager
play a vital role in time management as he guides the project team in delivering a particular
deliverable within the time allocated for the work (Kerzner & Kerzner, 2017). Project Manager
calculates a feasible time required for completing a particular task and develops the project plan
accordingly. Inaccurate time management results in project failure and therefore it is considered
one of the integral needs of project management.
Answer 2
Work breakdown structure can be described as a key project deliverable that organizes an
entire project into certain manageable sections by decomposing the entire project into smaller
units (Heagney, 2016). The main aim of work breakdown structure is to ensure that a complex
project is decomposed to manageable units. It is a hierarchical decomposition of the major works
that are needed to be completed so that the project team can easily estimate the time, cost and
resources required for a project.
A project is decomposed into different sections of WBS by following a number of steps.
At first the major deliverables of the project is identified. The identification of the deliverables is
one of the most important part of project decomposition particularly because it helps in
developing the work packages (Mossalam & Arafa, 2016). In the next step of decomposition,
each identified deliverable is handled in a sequential manner so that the complexity of the project
is reduced. At the end, all the deliverables are integrated to develop a complete project. In this
