Basic Scheduling Issues - 2

Note:

• If a task must be completed by a certain time

  • Make it duration driven
  • Quantity and availability should have no effect on duration driven tasks
  • Resources must be provided to meet the deadline
• However, if availability is an issue

  • Make the task effort driven
  • Non-availability delays the task
  • Conceptually, doubling the resources halves the duration, although not in practice
