MANAJEMEN PROYEK (SESI 1) - PENJADWALAN DENGAN SOFTWARE POM-QM VERSI 4

Summary

In this tutorial, Oktri introduces POM-QM version 4 for project management, focusing on creating project schedules using the Critical Path Method (CPM). He explains how to input activities, define their relationships with predecessors, and calculate the total project duration. The video highlights the importance of critical activities and slack time, providing clear steps for managing project timelines. Additionally, Oktri demonstrates how to visualize the project’s progress through Gantt charts and precedence diagrams, while also showing how to adjust the plan for better project execution. The tutorial is designed for beginners looking to learn project scheduling with ease.

Takeaways

• 😀 Introduction to the use of the powerful yet simple software, POM-QM version 4 for project planning.
• 😀 POM-QM version 4 can be downloaded for free from Google, with no licensing conflicts.
• 😀 The video focuses on project management features in POM-QM version 4, providing a step-by-step tutorial on how to create a project schedule.
• 😀 The software uses the Critical Path Method (CPM) for scheduling projects, with a focus on the 'activity-on-node' approach.
• 😀 The tutorial shows how to enter activities, durations, and predecessors into the software for project planning.
• 😀 Users are advised to use the default activity labels (A, B, C, etc.) for ease of understanding when entering project data.
• 😀 The importance of correctly entering predecessor relationships is highlighted to ensure the software processes the schedule correctly.
• 😀 POM-QM version 4 simplifies project scheduling by eliminating the need for 'dummy activities' used in other software.
• 😀 The software calculates the total project duration based on entered activities and their relationships, providing a clear project timeline.
• 😀 The video explains the concept of 'slack time' for non-critical activities, where delays won't affect the overall project schedule.
• 😀 The tutorial covers the use of Gantt charts and PDM (Precedence Diagramming Method) to visualize the project schedule and adjust timelines.

Q & A

What is the focus of the video?

The video focuses on teaching how to use the Pom-QM software, specifically version 4, for project planning and management using the Critical Path Method (CPM).

Where can Pom-QM version 4 be obtained?

Pom-QM version 4 can be obtained for free through Google, without any licensing conflicts.

Why does the presenter prefer Pom-QM version 4 over version 5?

The presenter personally finds Pom-QM version 4 more comfortable to use, despite the availability of a newer version (version 5).

What kind of project planning does the software support?

The software supports project planning using the Critical Path Method (CPM), with a focus on simple scheduling through Activity on Node (AON) representation.

How does the software display the project tasks?

The software provides a clear layout where activities are displayed with their durations, predecessors, and the relationships between tasks.

What is the purpose of the 'Predecessor' column in the software?

The 'Predecessor' column allows users to define which tasks must be completed before the current task can start, establishing the dependencies between activities.

What does a 'critical' activity indicate in the project schedule?

A critical activity is one that must be completed on time. If it is delayed by even a single day, it will delay the entire project.

What is the significance of the 'Slack Time' value in the schedule?

Slack Time indicates how much delay is permissible for a non-critical task before it affects the project's overall timeline. Tasks with slack time can be delayed without impacting the project's finish date.

How does the software handle multiple predecessors for a single activity?

The software allows an activity to have more than one predecessor, and these dependencies are managed by entering them into the Predecessor column as needed.

What happens when the project schedule is updated with a missing connection?

If an activity is not connected to its predecessor or successor, the software will prompt the user to resolve the issue before proceeding, ensuring that the entire project plan is linked correctly.
