~1-activity definition involves developing a more detailed WBS and supporting explanations to understand all the work. It will define the activity list, activity attributes as well as a milestone. 2-activity sequencing that reviewing activities and determining dependencies. We must determine dependencies in order to use critical path. There are two techniques for showing activity sequencing which are Activity on Arrow (AOA) network diagram also called Arrow Diagramming Method (ADM) and Precedence Diagramming Method (PDM). These two techniques have differences based o their showing activities. AOA or ADM will represent activities by arrows while PDM represent the activities by boxes. ~

~3-activity resource estimating focus on the recourse that will be use. A Resource breakdown structure is a hierarchical structure that identifies the project’s resources by category and type. 4-activity duration estimating focus on the duration and effort those will be use in activity projects. 5-schedule development will uses results of the other time management processes to determine the start and end date of the project. The goal is to create a realistic schedule that provides a basis for monitoring project progress. The tools and techniques include Gantt charts, critical path analysis, critical chain scheduling and PERT analysis. We also discussed more how to use and calculate the critical path in the project. 6-schedule control which performs reality checks on schedules. Techniques that include are progress reports, a schedule change control system and project management software. ~
