Concepts behind this area
Work Breakdown Structure (WBS)
A work breakdown structure decomposes a project's total scope into a hierarchy of deliverables and, at the bottom, work packages small enough to estimate, assign and track, so that everything to be produced appears exactly once.
Critical Path
The critical path is the longest chain of dependent activities through a project's schedule, which sets the earliest possible finish date and on which any delay delays the whole project.
Gantt Chart
A Gantt chart is a schedule drawn as horizontal bars against a calendar, one bar per activity, with dependencies drawn between them and progress shown along each bar.
