Task 1 – A. Written Responses
A. Written Responses 15 Marks
Question 1: Describe the main planning tasks performed as part of project time management.
(BSBPMG512 – 1.2, 1.3,1.4,2.1,2.2,2.3,2.4,2.5,3.1)
The planning tasks for the project time management are consisted of planning, development of
project schedule, estimation of resources, and estimation of duration and sequencing of project
activities. The output of those activities are lower cost, operations as per budget and realization of
the project goals.
Question 2: 2. Describe the critical path for a project, and explain why it is important to know
which tasks are on the critical path. (BSBPMG512-2.1,2.2,2.3)
The critical path is the earliest time the project is completed and longest path throughput the
schedule network. By identification of the critical path into the project, the project manager can able
to adjust the schedule if one of the tasks are slipped to right or left. The project manager can also
elevate the assistance request focused on risks of project success. The critical path is used to
identify the important tasks into a project and it also ensures that the project is not fallen behind the
schedule. It is required to know which path is on the critical path because creating of critical path is
involved to determine which tasks control completion of the project.
Question 3: Describe the tools and techniques you have used to track and manage time for
projects within your workplace. (BSBPMG512 – 1.3,2.1,2.2,2.3,2.4,3.1,3.2)
The time is required to be managed properly for completion of project work on time. Following are
the tools and techniques which are used to track and manage of time such as:
PERT: It is a project planning and control tool which is used to define and control of tasks required
to complete the project. It displays of schedule task required to be shown in sequence. This tool
helps to identify the project tasks and milestones, determine sequence of project activities and
construct of network diagram.
Gantt chart: It is time management tool used to show the calendar time in days, weeks and months.
It shows graphical representation showing start, and completion time of the tasks into the project. It
is also used for tracking of project progress.
