Agile Project Time Planning

• Protect time by aggregate time buffer
• Aggregate components into groupings and look at dependancies of groupings
• Critical Path - longest path through real time required for a single chain of dependent tasks to complete in order
• 'Eventually everything hits the CP' -- Goldratt
• Components not tasks
• PERT chart for parallel development
• Resource constraints - specialists need to be added to PERT
