Set durations for each task (copy the estimates provided by the team). Identify a critical path. The scheduling model is the critical path method in our case. But, you may need to use the PERT technique or critical chain method as an alternative. So bear that in mind when you estimate tasks without using the tool.

Parkinson’s law is an example. Usually, time estimates are exaggerated in order to cover Murphy’s Law (If something can go wrong it will go wrong). When your team is working on a project and every member has their individual tasks with estimated durations, your project due dates are dependent on these people’s efficiency.

After the expectations and the aims are clear, we can move on to estimating what we already have and, consequently, what we would be needing. Here are some examples of some project management techniques you could consider applying to your project: Agile methodology, Critical chain methodology, Scrum, and Waterfall.

Thus, the formal critical path for small projects is often obvious enough for project managers and for project management software. Project management tools are helpful in the visualization of the schedule, and in quick calculation of an approximate end date when there are estimates in place. Involve your team in the planning process.

I my first 15 years, I used single-point estimation to build project schedules. The next ten years I used ranged estimations with traditional Gantt chart project scheduling software tools – this was better but cumbersome. Ranged estimation has been around since the introduction of PERT and the three-point estimation method.

One of the first ways to do this is to ask these simple questions: How often have your projects finished on time compared to their original estimates? When teams add a reasonable variation from best to worst case estimation, that’s enough to predict the range of delivery with far more confidence. When did you take steps to resolve it?

This is the “integration effect.”

Unfortunately, many projects to the detriment of the people executing them, are delivered late and it’s not usually anything to do with estimating or project execution. It’s got nothing to do with poor estimating, poor execution or even risks that occurred or did not occur. It’s as simple as that.
