How is a project baseline used to guide the execution of the project's work?
400079
A project basline is basically a version of the project plan saved just after the project planning is complete and before project execution begins.  It's the plan on day one of execution.\n\nIt can contain schedule, cost, and work (level of effort) information.\n\nBy comparing the current forecast to the baseline you can compare where you actually are, to where you said you would be.\n\nYou can also use the baseline to get into something called earned value, which is a more advanced way to compare cost and time performance against the baseline.

Your project is basic in its scope. What it is asking you for is to make a statement. For example, your premise is “All guys are dumb”!\n\nNow you must set up a study as to how you want to prove your statement. For example: You will conduct a study on asking males and females the same series of question. Further, you can ask all the males questions within their group as well to study how they react amongst themselves. \n\nThis study will provide you with results that you need to review and draw conclusions from. This is the details stage. \n\nIn every study there are variable that need to be considered. Some are controllable some are not. Those that are, you need to identify and control them in a common way amongst all the population of your groups. Those that are not, you need to identify and draw conclusion as to how they will change any of your results if at all. This is your control stage.

To maintain change control.  You do not want all of the programmers altering the same code at the same time.  You also need to give your quality assurance testing staff time to ensure the modified code is accurate before deploying.  Having a regular migration cycle will also encourage preplanning of the change cycle and help streamline the order of modifications.\n\nConfiguration management also ensures that all of the required permissions to alter code and other components are maintained in a small set of people.

This depends on the customer and the proposal issued.  There is no standard.  Generally, though, the FEED will include P&ID's, GA's, and a detailed cost analysis.  The detailed design will have all of the drawings necessary to construct the project.

When performing schedule analysis in project management you derive the early start, early finish, late start, and late finish for each task.\n\nThe "early" dates represent the earliest you can perform a task, based on the estimated durations, and the task sequencing.  \n\nThe "late" dates are the latest dates that a task can be scheduled without impacting the project end-date.\n\n(If the "early" and "late" dates are the same for a task, it must be scheduled to happen on those dates or the project will be delayed.  This kind of task is said to be critical.)\n\nThe early and late dates provide you information about when you should/can schedule your task to start, but the date you finally select in your plan for your task to start would be referred to as the (scheduled) start date.\n\nWhen the task actually starts, this would be referred to as the "actual" start date - potentially a fourth kind of start date.

Several way, either manually or using automated systems.\n\nFor manual, you can use Microsoft Project to monitor ongoing project, include the milestone, the critical point, check point and percentage of accomplishment.\n\nOr if you don't have MS Project, you can use spreasheet, list it in grouping and sub-gropoing of task, with due dates and person in charge.\n\nOr you can use sharewares application for task tracking and produce a GANTT Chart.\n\nFor automated system, you need enterprise class software, which we will not discuss here.

Make a clear outline of each element of the task.\n\nShow the task as a whole\n\nShow the major parts\n\nShow how each major part is broken down into individual steps

You can look at this 2 ways: priortize features based on their affect on the bottom line, how much money will this feature make or contribute to the bottom line? \n\nThe other way to look at prioritizing features, is evaluating pillars or central features that must be built or upgraded. Is it a vital feature that the user will expect my project to have? Is this feature central to what my project or product must accomplish or supply or is the feature simply ancillary and could easily be dismissed?

- Plan what your project is going to be like.\n- Estimate how much your budget cost when implementing this project(your asp.net app)\n- Choose what are the software model you want your project to implement. Is it Waterfall Approach? RUP(rational unified process)? or Extreme Programming?\n- After you have completed your project, go through your 4 phases and also designing, testing n implementation, documentation..\n- Test your functions again n again to ensure your program works well.

A master project in MSP consists of one or more sub-project files.  However, it can also contain its own tasks and resources.

Why would MS Project not work ?  It's essentially designed to do what you're looking for.\n\nThere are other similar, but more basic tools out there.  I've included a link to project management software tools.  Some of these are subscription based - some are web-based, which may or may not help.  Some will be much more that you need.\n\nMost poeople who don't want to use a PM tool end up using Excel.

The purposes it serves are the following:\n\n-to ensure that everybody has something to do\n\n- that project deadlines are realistic given the number of available workers\n\n- to identify "critical path" items (those tasks that if delayed will cause an entire project to be delayed - trickier to figure out than it sounds)\n\n- to ensure that everybody's time is correctly accounted so that the correct projects can be billed for their time. This is necessary to track that individual projects are profitable.

when u use the microsoft visual studio environnement to develop an application, especially the visual basic u are invited to create a new project for ur application.\nonce u click new the assistant leads u between some windows to give more informations about ur application.\nat the end when u click finish, the assistant generate the visual basic project and in the location<the folder>> u specified u find some files with the extensions u are asking about.\nthese files are like staellites communicating each other infomation about behaviors caused while u are developing ur project..and are also used when u finish ur application and u want compile it into an installation package....\nthats it i think ive helped little..\nthanks

Always start your project with a concept drawing. Then build your measurements from the Operator's Point of view. ( basic ergonomics and industrial engineering ) produce a sculpted scale version of your design, then reverse your engineering stance and retrofit regular engineering principles to the concept you project to your client peer.

HOLD A MEETING WITH PEERS AND SUBORDINATES AND ASK THEIR INPUT ON YOUR PROJECT AND THEN LAUNCH.

Earned Value Management (EVA) is a measure of time Vs progress Vs cost and can be done simply with MS Excel if you have the savy.\n\nPlot projected cost vs progress measured as a percentage, which will give you a linear chart. Then record and plot actual progress along side this. The two lines should correlate if you're doing ok. The deviation from 1 is the measure between actual and progress.\n\nSo where does time come into it? Well if you know how long the project will take, then you know how previous progress Vs Cost factor relates to the projected timescale.\n\nIf you plot projected time Vs projected (progress vs cost), to give you a linear progress line, then applying actual time Vs actual (progress vs cost) you will get the final EVA Value for that moment in the project.\n\n1.0 is norm for the linear relationship, with <1.0 being the project being a combination of underspent, late or slow progress. Greater than 1.0 implys overspent, ahead or fast. 1.0 will still apply if you are within cost, ahead of scehdule and still on time target.\n\nGoverment projects aim for the 0.98 to 1.02 bandwith for EVA progress, and remember, the accuracy of the analysis overall is heavily dependent on getting the baseline correct.\n\nGood luck!
