Object-Oriented Development (OOD) Method

This sample shows the Booch OOD diagram of the environment. The Booch method (developed by Grady Booch) is an object modeling language and methodology used in software engineering. This sample was created in ConceptDraw DIAGRAM diagramming and vector drawing software using the Rapid UML Solution from the Software Development area of ConceptDraw Solution Park.

Program Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT) with ConceptDraw DIAGRAM

Program Evaluation and Review Technique (abbr. PERT) is a method developed by Ministry of Defense of the USA in 1958 for the project of creation the missile system Polaris. PERT diagram is one of the tools for project management that lets greatly simplify the planning and scheduling of large and complex projects. PERT diagram provides evaluation of project run-time and labor forces, it helps to analyze the time necessary for execution each of project tasks and the whole project, and to calculate the project critical path. PERT chart depicts the set of tasks connected each other in order of their execution and is constructed according to one of definite rules - AOA (activity on arrow) or AON (activity on node). It doesn't give you ready concrete decisions, but helps to find them. Design easy the PERT diagrams in ConceptDraw DIAGRAM software enhanced with Seven Management and Planning Tools solution from Management area of ConceptDraw Solution Park. You have a possibility to build the PERT chart of any type, but AON variant is easier for building and perception.

CORRECTIVE ACTIONS PLANNING. PERT Chart

The PERT Chart is constructed as part of the process in creating a schedule of corrective actions. The PERT Chart shows the logical connections and consequence of tasks to be performed. It displays the time period for problem solving and the implementation of all activities through the critical path. ConceptDraw Office suite is a software for corrective actions planning.

PERT Chart Software

PERT Chart Software - Activity Network and Project Evaluation and Review Technique, or PERT, charts are a way of documenting and analyzing the tasks in a project. ConceptDraw DIAGRAM is a powerful diagramming and vector drawing software for designing professional looking PERT Charts quick and easy.

Network Analysis Activity on Node

This sample shows the activity on node (AON) network. The social network analysis (SNA) is the analysis of the social networks, it analyzes the social relationships in terms of network theory that uses nodes and ties. The nodes represent the activities and are displayed as circles labeled with the activity number and completion time in brackets. The nodes are sequentially connected, the ties are represented as lines.

What is SWOT Analysis?

What is SWOT analysis? The SWOT abbreviation is formed from the reduction of four words - strength, weakness, opportunity and threat, on which is based the SWOT analysis.

When you have an installed ConceptDraw DIAGRAM software, it gives you a lot of benefits in SWOT analysis. Use the powerful drawing tools and capabilities of the SWOT and TOWS Matrix Diagrams solution to hold the SWOT analysis effectively and with pleasure.

How to Report Task's Execution with Gantt Chart

ConceptDraw PROJECT’s powerful reporting engine lets you generate a set of tabular reports with just one click, or visualize your project as Radial Tasks Structures, Work Breakdown Structures and Resource Calendars. It also provides you with dynamic Project Dashboards.

Critical Tasks

All project tasks are important, but only some of them are critical. A task that cannot be delayed without affecting the project end date is a critical task. In other words it is a task, which directly affects the project finish date and at the delay of its implementation the project's finish date will be postponed. Conversely, to move the project end date to an earlier date, you must reschedule the dates of tasks of critical path. During the life of a real project often happens that the critical path changes the time to time, because the tasks may be completed sooner or later than they were planned. A task stops to be critical when it is executed, since more it does not affect the execution of subsequent tasks and on the project finish date. The critical path lets easy to see the project was ended on time or not, and to determine the location of dangerous points on it. ConceptDraw Office applications and PM solutions offered by ConceptDraw Solution Park support the project managers and senior managers with perfect abilities of easy planning and managing projects, tracking the project statuses and critical tasks, with tools for creation Gantt Charts, depiction the critical path and easy generation wide range of project reports.
