Critical Chain Management for Software Project Schedule
LI Nan · Jisuanji gongcheng · 2010
This paper proposes an improved critical chain management method based on triangular fuzzy number against the defect of application of critical chain in software project schedule management.It estimates activity durations with triangular fuzzy number,and takes the value whose degree of belonging to the activity durations is 1 as the highest possibility time of activity.Based on the highest possibility time of activity,activity-network is made.The project critical chain under resource constraints is built.Uncertainty in the project is absorbed through inserting buffers.Schedule control is performed by monitoring the penetration level in the buffers.Application process of the method is illustrated with a case,which proves the method is effective and practical.
