Abstract: | The concept of float has been adapted for use in resource constrained projects. An important characteristics of such projects is, however, that alternative resource allocations are often possible, resulting in a number of schedules with identical durations. An activity may be critical in one schedule but it may have considerable float in another. In this study, alternative measures of float are explored. The practical interpretation of measures is demonstrated in an analysis of a simplified software development programme. |
