Project Management Triangle
The ANSI Standard for project management known as Project Management Body of Knowledge(PMBoK) defines project management as an area of activity which determines and achieves a clear project objectives, balancing among the volume of work, resources (such as money, materials, energy), time, quality and risks.
A key factor in the project management success is to have a clear specific plan in advance, to minimize risks and deviations from the plan, to have an effective change management (as opposed to the process approach, functional management and service level management).
Project Management Triangle model represents the balance between the project scope, project cost, time and quality. The quality was included later, so initially this model is known as "Triple Constraint".
As required by any undertaking the project should proceed and reach the final, encountering certain restrictions. Classically, these constraints are defined as project scope, time and cost and are related to the Project Management Triangle, each side of which represents one of the constraints. Changing one of the triangle sides invariable affects the others. Further refinement of the constraints contributed scope quality and effect, turning quality into the fourth constraint.
The constraint of time is determined by the time available to complete the project. The constraint of cost is determined by the budget allocated for the project. The constraint of scope is determined by a set of actions required to achieve the final result of the project. These three constraints are often competing with each other.
Changing the scope of the project usually leads to a change in time and cost. Tight schedule may cause an increase in cost and a decrease in the scope. A small budget may cause an extension in time and a decrease the scope.
Another approach to project management is to consider the following three constraints: finances, time and human resources. If it is necessary to reduce the time, a project manager can increase the number of employed people to solve problems, although that will inevitably lead to an increase in the budget. Due to the fact that this problem will be resolved quickly, it is possible to avoid the growth of the budget, reducing costs by an equal amount in any other segment of the project.

Computer networks nowadays are spread all across the world. The large number of parameters, such as geographic scale or communication protocols, can divide networks. One of the most common types of networks is called local area network (LAN). It convenient to represent network examples by means of diagrams.
This local area network (LAN) diagram provides an easy way to see the way the devices in a local network are interacted. The diagram uses a library containing specific symbols to represent network equipment , media and the end-user devices such as computers (PC, mac, laptop) , network printer, hubs, server and finally a modem. There are two types of network topologies: physical and logical. The current diagram represents precisely a physical type of LAN topology because it refers to the physical layout of a local network equipment.

Analyze each identified action separately in the tree of all actions and then develop a preventive action in response to potential obstacles or circumstances have been identified as a risk.
The PDPC determines the risks when corrective action is not performed correctly. Also, it helps develop descriptions for preventive actions at the level of execution.

Big and complex projects sometimes need some simplification of plans and schedules. That's why Program Evaluation and Review Technique was invented and first implemented in 1958. You can create PERT diagrams effortlessly with ConceptDraw DIAGRAM and share them with your colleagues.
Program Evaluation Review Technique (PERT) is a method that is used to assess and analyze projects. PERT is a valuable tool for the project management practice. PERT gives an assessment and analysis of the time needed to the project completion. A PERT chart is a visual tool that delivers a graphical view of a project timeline. It is used to display the sequences and dependences of project tasks necessary to complete a project. ConceptDraw DIAGRAM delivers the possibility to build a PERT along with other diagrams applied to assist management process by using its Seven Management and Planning Tools solution.
