|
A schedule compression technique in which activities or phases normally done in sequence are performed in parallel for at least a portion of their duration. See also crashing and schedule compression. |
Fast Tracking |
|
|
A logical relationship in which a successor activity cannot finish until a predecessor activity has finished. See also finish-to-start, start-to-finish, start-to-start, and logical relationship. |
Finish-to-Finish |
|
|
A logical relationship in which a successor activity cannot start until a predecessor activity has finished. See also finish-to-finish, start-to-finish, start-to-start, and logical relationship. |
Finish-to-Start |
|
|
A method of estimating earned value in which a specified percentage of the budget value of a work package is assigned to the start milestone and the remaining percentage is assigned when the work package is complete. See also weighted milestone method. |
Fixed Formula Method |
|
|
A critical path method technique for calculating the early start and early finish dates by working forward through the schedule model from the project start date or a given point in time. See also backward pass. |
Forward Pass |
|
|
The amount of time that a schedule activity can be delayed without delaying the early start date of any successor or violating a schedule constraint. See also total float, critical path, near-critical activity, and near-critical path. |
Free Float |
|
|
An organizational structure in which staff is grouped by areas of specialization and the project manager has limited authority to assign work and apply resources. See also matrix organization and projectized organization. |
Functional Organization |
|
|
A bar chart of schedule information where activities are listed on the vertical axis, dates are shown on the horizontal axis, and activity durations are shown as horizontal bars placed according to start and finish dates. |
Gantt Chart |
|
|
A component of the project or program management plan that describes the roles and responsibilities, reporting relationships, and staff management. See also project management plan and staffing management plan. |
Human Resource Management Plan |
|
|
The amount of time whereby a successor activity will be delayed with respect to a predecessor activity. See also lead. |
Lag |
|
|
In the critical path method, the latest possible point in time when the uncompleted portions of a schedule activity can finish based on the schedule network logic, the project completion date, and any schedule constraints. See also early finish date, early start date, late start date,and schedule network analysis. |
Late Finish Date |
|
|
In the critical path method, the latest possible point in time when the uncompleted portions of a schedule activity can start based on the schedule network logic, the project completion date, and any schedule constraints. See also early finish date, late finish date, early start date, and schedule network analysis. |
Late Start Date |
|
|
The amount of time whereby a successor activity can be advanced with respect to a predecessor activity. See also lag. |
Lead |
|
|
The knowledge gained during a project which shows how project events were addressed or should be addressed in the future for the purpose of improving future performance. |
Lessons Learned |
|
|
An activity that does not produce definitive end products and is measured by the passage of time. See also apportioned effort and discrete effort. [Note: Level of effort is one of three earned value management (EVM) types of activities used to measure work performance.] |
Level of Effort |
|
|
A dependency between two activities or between an activity and a milestone. See also finish-to-finish, finish-to-start, start-to-finish, and start-to-start. |
Logical Relationship |
|
|
An activity that does not produce definitive end products and is measured by the passage of time. See also apportioned effort and discrete effort. |
