Department of Industrial Engineering 3
What exactly is a project?
(1) a proposal of something to be done; plan; scheme; (2) an organized undertaking; specifically, (a) a special unit of work, research, etc., as in school, a laboratory, etc. (b) an extensive public undertaking in conservation, construction, etc.
A project• Has a defined beginning and ending• Has a set of completion criteria• Is non-repetitive, it is done one time• Usually involves something more complicated than which was
originally envisioned
Department of Industrial Engineering 4
What is the role of the project manager?
The person who manages and controls a project by planning, estimating, scheduling, administering, and monitoring tasks.

Statement of Work (SOW)
Defines exactly what is to be done in the project SOW establishes
• “Contract” of who does what and when• Baseline for changes in the work• Communication channel• Sometimes defined by the contractor other times by the
customer
Other names – Request for Proposal (RFP), Request for Services (RFS), Purchase Order (PO)

SOW ExampleNew Home Construction
Purpose: Build a new predesigned house. Scope: A vacant lot in a neighborhood plan to build
a 2-story, 4-bedroom, 2-1/2-bath home. House will also have a 2-car garage, driveway, basement, dining room, living room, family room, and an entrance hallway.
Deliverables: House in move-in condition. Materials and supplies
Cost Estimates:
$50,000 for 1/3 acre of land in Bridgeville that is located in the South Hills of Pittsburgh. $100,000 for colonial style brick house with some vinyl siding. We will mortgage $120,000 for our house through Dollar Bank with a 30-year 6.875% fixed rate mortgage with zero points. There will be a 20% down payment ($30,000), $307 in closing costs, and 30 days prepaid interest. The monthly payment (principal and interest) and without taxes will be $788.31.
Department of Industrial Engineering 9
SOW ExampleNew Home Construction
Schedule Estimates:
From beginning to end (getting a loan until the house is completely finished) of building the house, it should take 10 months.
Project Organization:
Will need to have carpenters, painters, plumbers, electricians, roofers, and landscapers.
Responsibilities: We are the customer and the general contractor. We will plan, organize, and supervise to make sure everything is run smoothly to our satisfaction.
Assumptions: 1. There are no children. 2. Ground is thawed. 3. We have a good credit history. 4. We save the 20% markup general contractor services,
since we are the contractors. 5. Subcontractors are following the schedule. 6. Lot is level. 7. There will be no initial interior wall decorating,
landscaping of shrubbery, or walkway and driveway paving until ground settles.
8. The cost for the land and building of the house is realistic and representative of the area.
9. 3-point estimates are calculated in days. 10. The working days are Monday through Friday,
inclusive.

Project Charter
Purpose of the project Assignment of the project manager General management support of the
project Written in memorandum form
Department of Industrial Engineering 11
Project Charter ExampleNew Home Construction
Date: 10/01/2003 To: All Subcontractors From: Team Name CC: Dr. Kim Needy Subject: New Home Construction The purpose of this project is to build a new predesigned house that is ready to be moved into at the conclusion of the project. This team will serve as the general contractors, which are also known as the project managers. The manger of the construction company is in full support of the building of this new home. Additionally, we have the support of valued subcontractors such as electricians, roofers, and plumbers.

Project Milestones
Key start and end dates for major project phases or activities
Very useful for detailed planning Examples:
• Project Start Date• Completion of Phase 1• Start of Beta Test• Final Design Review• Implementation

Work Breakdown Structure (WBS)
Describes the total project effort Provides a level-by-level subdivision of work Can be depicted in a “tree” or outline format Defines the work packages – task to be
performed and their interrelationships Includes all end items (deliverables) such as
equipment, facility and services
Department of Industrial Engineering 15
WBS (cont.)
Includes the major tasks which are essential for the conception, design, creation, operation, test and disposal of these end items
Plan and schedule effort Estimate costs and budgets Support network schedule construction Assign responsibilities and authorize work Track time, cost, and performance - controlling

Creation, Use, and Control of the WBS
Creation• Top-down• Get input• Identify for each work package –
resources, procurement methods, authority and responsibility for completion, specifications, budgets, and schedule
• Get feedback
Department of Industrial Engineering 23
Creation, Use, and Control of the WBS (cont.)
Use• Record dates, expenditures, etc. for each
work element• Compare actual to planned• Corrective action – make adjustments
Department of Industrial Engineering 24
Creation, Use, and Control of the WBS (cont.)
Control• Decide who can change the WBS and how• Establish communication channels

Linear Responsibility Chart (LRC)
Also called the linear organizational chart and the matrix responsibility chart
Shows what’s involved, who participates, and to what degree
Shows the extent or type of authority especially when two or more people have overlapping responsibility/authority
Gets a dialogue going LRC is a plan – compare to actual
Department of Industrial Engineering 27
LRC (cont.)
Three main components1. A series of position titles listed along the
top (columns).
2. A list of responsibilities, authorities, activities, functions, work packages listed down the side (rows).
3. A symbol indicating the degree or extent of authority.

Linear Responsibility Chart (cont.)
Rules of Thumb• Everyone isn’t involved with every work
package• Try to only have one “P” per work
package• Only assign responsibility for the work
package (i.e., not the levels above)• Maintain the numbering scheme used on
the WBS for the LRC
Department of Industrial Engineering 30
Scheduling
Non-Networking – Gantt Chart or Bar Charts• Microsoft Project is a very effective tool
Networking – PERT/CPM will not discuss today
Department of Industrial Engineering 31
Non-Networking Techniques
Example – Building a Gantt Chart for “Getting Ready for Work”
University of Pittsburgh32
Schedule Example(Top Level)
GET READY FOR BED
SLEEP
“GETTING READY FOR WORK
WORK
WATCH T.V.
University of Pittsburgh33
Getting to WorkGround Rules and Assumptions
• You have to wake up before doing anything else.
(No sleepwalking to accomplish tasks)
• You want to have a cup of coffee prior to shaving.(Safety consideration)
• Before driving to work, all other tasks must be completed.
