Project Management

← Back to Domain-Specific Abstractions by Domain

4 domain-specific abstractions whose origin domain is Project Management.

• Critical path method — A project-network scheduling method that propagates activity durations and precedence constraints to find the longest start-to-finish path, minimum planned completion time and the float available to noncritical activities.
• Gantt chart — A time-scaled bar chart that represents project activities, planned or actual start and finish dates, progress, milestones and often dependency relationships.
• MoSCoW method — A time-boxed requirements-prioritization method classifying items as Must have, Should have, Could have or Won’t have this time.
• Social project management — A project-management approach that uses persistent social-network-style communication and shared activity streams to coordinate distributed participants through open, many-to-many work visibility.
