CSIT214 Chapter Notes - Chapter 6: Time Management, Gantt Chart, Project Management Software
Document Summary
Part of the reason are the different attitudes and work styles that exist towards schedules as stated in the text. Schedules may be viewed differently in other cultures as well and project managers must be aware of these concerns. Sometimes the original schedule was not realistically thought out and was too aggressive. Time management is another key aspect of managing a project. As such, it is considered to be a core knowledge area, and is closely knit to scope and cost areas. The main purpose of this knowledge area, as it name suggests, is to build processes and outputs into the project that assist the manager and team to complete the project in a timely manner. The main performance aspects of any project are time, cost and scope, and these aspects are tightly linked such that a change in one of them will almost certainly impact change in one or more of the others.
