“The Project Management is a management system that aims to results”.[1] The goal of a project can only be reached through precise scheduling techniques that take into account all various constraints such as time and economic resources. Techniques such as PERT, CPM and GANTT are the most used to plan into details a project, prevent uncertainties and avoid risk. These three techniques complete each other and offer a wide range of scenario that could occur during the development of a project The aim of the scheduling techniques is to reach the goal on time without wasting precious and limited resources. On the other hand it’s an important tool to prevent in advance future situations and to promptly identify future issues that can compromise the success of the project. Thought the use of these techniques all the single steps of a project are defined in advance, the goals are clear and the resources are properly allocated.
INTRODUCTION TO THE PROJECT MANAGEMENT
“A project is a sequence of unique, complex, and connected activities that have one goal or purpose and that must be completed by a specific time, within budget, and according to specification.” [2]
