Project crashing is one of the tools used in Project Management.  I have looked up a few sources but they all seem to use different methods, which I believe are leading to different answers

The first three sites I looked at all seem to indicate that project crashing is a way to reduce the overall duration of a project. \n\nThey all suggest reducing the planned duration of one or more tasks that are on the critical path (Since there's no sense in looking at tasks that aren't on the critical path). \n\nReduction of duration means increasing resources (more people or equipment or overtime hours). This implies that the original assumptions made when planning were based on minimising costs rather than duration. \n\nAll the techniques then went into mathematical models that I didn't analyse in detail but could see that all were trying to optimise [minimal] costs vs. [maximal] reduction in project duration.

It's difficult.  There are some things you can do - some of which you may have already done.\n\nDevelop a project charter, which describes the project, but also includes some high-level project assumptions and risks etc. (This at the very start of the project.) Boss, and other key players, should sign document.\n\nProduce a detailed definition of the project scope - ideally a structured Work Breakdown Structure, but at least something that defines the scope in detail.  Get agreement that this is scope of the project (signatures are good.)\n\nAny changes to the scope as defined above are required to go through a change process.  As part of the process the proposed change is documented, along with the estimated impact of the change.  The document is then reviewed, in this case probably with the boss and others, and the discussion is - so here's the proposed change, and if we do it it will delay us 2 weeks and cost $5000.  Do we still want to do it ?  (and if so where's the money.)  Again signatures are good on the approved changes.\n\nTry not to own the hot potato issues.  When she takes some-one off the project (which makes it your problem) you then throw her back a new plan showing the impact, including slipped dates (making it her problem again.)\n\nIf you really can't get committments, then you have to document all your assumptions, provide them to the boss, and then proceed.  You can also have reviews where you explain (as a team) what's going on etc.  In the review you can make leading statements like : We need to get everyone's agreement on this before moving onto next phase.  Document the meeting.\n\nAs you put more structure in place you can blame either "best practices" or other stakeholders.

Project Management is a MicroSoft Software that helps you manage various projects, and it also helps when estimating job cost, etc...............\nI've been taking a course through compusa online. Its a difficult software to master, but the things you can do with it are endless.\nI work for a construction co. so we are planning on using to manage our construction sites.

Your computer should be making a crashdump log whenever it does this. Without either the message on the screen itself or the log, it is impossible to know what the problem is. There's a couple hundred reasons why this might happen. \n\nYou should NOT make any changes to your computer AT ALL until you enable the crashdump logging and captyre a log file. Otherwise you may make the problem even more difficult to pinpoint!\n\nTry to capture your log file. The link below will show you how to enable the logging.  Note: the first couple of paragraphs on this article are about one specific problem so do not make any changes yet!  Start reading at the section "Preparing to Create a Memory Dump File" and apply the changes ONLY in that section. Then repost your error when you have a little more detail.

I would imagine cost might also be a factor ?  Other considerations might include : the size and complexity of the projects you intend to manage, the size and location of your project team, and your current understanding of project management.  \n\nI've included a link to a list of PM software of varying prices - from free to expensive.  Some products, such as TurboProject, even have different levels of the software depending on which features you think you'll need.\n\nThe challenge most people face with project management software is that they don't know how to do project manqament, and so they struggle with the s/w.  Some basic project management theory goes a long way in making the tool easier to use.

Wait till the project is over and then distance yourself. A vacation might be in order for you.

I've attached a link for open source PM s/w.  \n\nThere are also MS Project readers that are free or cheap, if you just want to view MS Project info.  I've attached a link to one, but I don't know it's any better than any other.

I don't really know what you're studying right now and what topics, but I'll take a guess at these questions.\n\nThey spend time because they want to know if a given project is worth doing.  By using numeric evaluation, this gives them a general idea.  NPV using DCF is probably the most realistic because you take into account the actual cash flows along with making sure you're taking a look at the present value of the project.

If you just want to use a desktop product, then you don't need to buy MS Project Professional.  You really only need that if you going to buy MS Project Server as well.  Otherwise you can just get MS Project Standard.\n\nYou can certainly use MS Project Standard to achieve some, if not all, of what you need.  MS Project Server would definitely achieve what you need, but its a significant step up in terms of cost and complexity.

Depending on the size of the company, the Project Manager is usually multitasking by overseeing several projects at once:\na) Are they are schedule?\nb) Are they on budget?\nc) Personnel conflicts getting in the way?\nd) Do they need a material/information?\ne) Does marketing need a voice in the design/function?\nf) Will this impact others - competitors/neighbors/retailers in a way that needs thinking through.\ng) Are there licenses or other governmental inputs required.\nh) What/where will this be sited?\ni) Is there a completion date for public relations?\nj) What kind of reporting does my supervisor want/need? How soon/serious does a problem become before I report it?\nk) Am I using my assistant/assistance effectively?\nl) Am I leaving an adequate paper trail.\nShould start you off.

do projects immediately, its more gratifying to go ahead and have them done than to procrastinate.  act like the project is due on a date well before it is actually due, and if you have to stay up late that night and finish, do so, but if the chance that you don;t finish occurs, you will not be out of luck.  I know it is hard to do, but the stress level from procrastination will no longer be with you and you will get more rest and relaxation as opposed to freaking out the night before, and not doing well.

When developing a project schedule using a project management package such as MS Project, you can set up different calendars for different people.  \n\nEach calendar represents when that person (or type of person) is available to work.  This might be certain days of the week and/or include holidays and vacations.  In might even reflect that some people start at 7:00, others at 9:00, depending on how accurate you need to be.  \n\nThis way as you schedule a task the tool can check all the calendars to make sure that the required people are in fact available.

I have worked on four Software Engineering projects in the last year, three of which used Extreme Programming techniques.\n\nAs an engineer/developer and not a documenter, I found it to be fast and refreshing to develop in this way - we were able to get a lot more done in the same amount of time and we were always working on development.\n\nDown sides? We seemed to have to do more change requests working like this - my only guess would be that we had implemented more features before people changed their minds they we would normally have done.\n\nThe biggest down side is that the people I was working with used less comments than usual, which doesn't help because we were documenting less.\n\nI think experimenting with the different concepts in your team would definitely weild some positive experiences.\nThe company I've worked for use EP in all the projects it's conceivable to do so.\n\nI find it much easier to work like this, coding seems a lot less restricted (can't explain much better than that); but you have to keep a closer eye on the quality of code (and have a good project management tool for feature and bug tracking)\n\nHope that helps a little - it's difficult to explain how it changes things until you give it a try
