a. contract
b. documents
c. design/development
d. schematic
e. design programming

Answer 1

Answer:

e. design programming

Explanation:

The planning techniques are responsible for structuring the tasks to be performed within the project, defining the duration and the order of execution of the same, while the programming techniques try to organize the activities so that the logical temporal relationships between them, determining the calendar or the moments of time in which each one must be realized. The programming must be consistent with the objectives pursued and respect existing restrictions (resources, costs, workloads).

The programming therefore consists in setting, in an approximate way, the moments of beginning and termination of each activity. Some activities may have slack and others are critical activities (fixed over time).

STEPS:

Build a time diagram (moments of beginning and slack of activities).

Establish the times of each activity.

Analyze project costs and adjust clearances (minimum cost project).
