26 Data Flow Diagram Guide to PMBOK Mohammad A. Rajabi 26

27 Inputs Activity list Activity attributes Activity resource requirements Resource calendars (type, quantity, availability, capability of human resources, equipment, material) Project scope management (constraints and assumptions such as existing conditions, availability of information, and length of reporting periods, for example: available skilled resources, contract terms and requirements) Enterprise environmental factors (duration estimating DB, productivity metrics, published commercial information) Organizational process assets (historical duration information, i project calendars, scheduling hdli methodology, and lesson learned) Guide to PMBOK Mohammad A. Rajabi 27

28 Tools and Techniques Expert judgment Analogous estimating (duration, budget, size, weight and complexity from a previous similar il project) Less costly and time consuming but less accurate Parametric aa cestimating (using statistical relationship eato between historical data and variables (e.g.: square footage) Three point estimation (originated from Program Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT) Most likely (Tm), optimistic (To), pessimistic (Tp), expected (Te): Te=(To+4Tm+Tp)/6 Reserve Analysis: contingency reserves or time reserves or buffers) to account for schedule uncertainty shown by % of duration, fixed number of work periods. It should be clearly documented Guide to PMBOK Mohammad A. Rajabi 28
