PERT Chart EXPERT
Posted by Armando Brito Mendes | Filed under Investigação Operacional, planeamento
PERT Chart EXPERT is a Windows-based project management software application that is used to create PERT charts (also known as Network Charts, Precedence Diagrams and Logic Diagrams). A PERT chart displays the tasks in a project along with the dependencies between these tasks. Using a PERT chart is a great way to define and display the dependency relationships that exist between tasks. The order in which tasks occur is an important part of project planning and PERT Chart EXPERT simplifies the process of creating dependencies and displaying dependencies in an easy to follow diagram.

Microsoft Solver Foundation
Solver Foundation makes it easier to build and solve real optimization models. Solver Foundation includes a declarative modeling language (OML) for specifying optimization models; a .NET API and runtime (Solver Foundation Services) for model creation, reporting, and analysis; and powerful built-in solvers. Key features include:
- Modeling and solving scenarios by using constraints, goals, and data.
- Programming in the Optimization Modeling Language (OML), in C# imperatively, in F# functionally, or in any .NET language.
- Built-in solvers for commonly encountered model types.
- Integration with popular solvers such as Gurobi, Ziena Knitro, Frontline Solver Platform SDK™, Mosek™, FICO™ Xpress, LINDO, and lp_solve.
- Interfaces to familiar tools such as Microsoft Office Excel and SharePoint to create and solve models.

See effect of dependent risk by using a decision tree
Posted by Armando Brito Mendes | Filed under Investigação Operacional, materiais para profissionais, planeamento
Takeaway: Certain risks may only appear as a result of actions taken as a result of managing another risk. Project management expert Tom Mochal says that is when you want to use a decision tree.

Time Management Reminders
Posted by Armando Brito Mendes | Filed under Investigação Operacional, materiais para profissionais, planeamento
Begin with the end in mind.
First things first.
Don’t just list priorities; schedule them
Schedule only two or three “big rocks.”
Chunk tasks together, like with like.

Learn About OR
Posted by Armando Brito Mendes | Filed under Investigação Operacional, materiais para profissionais
In a nutshell, operational research (O.R.) is the discipline of applying advanced analytical methods to help make better decisions.
By using techniques such as problem structuring methods (sometimes known as ‘Soft O.R.’) and mathematical modelling to analyse complex situations, operational research gives executives the power to make more effective decisions and build more productive systems based on:
- More complete data
- Consideration of all available options
- Careful predictions of outcomes and estimates of risk
- The latest decision tools and techniques

The Project Management Hut
Posted by Armando Brito Mendes | Filed under Investigação Operacional, planeamento
PM Hut – The Project Management Hut, came to life when a group of Project Managers decided to make their vast experience accessible to everyone. Needless to say, they started writing articles and gathering articles from all over the world, categorizing these articles, and presenting them in a very digestible format for the dynamic Project Manager.
Today, PM Hut is considered to be the largest database of categorized Project Management articles on planet Earth. Apparently, a group of Project Managers working together were able to finish something; it seems that reading the “Conflict Management” articles on PM Hut managed to resolve our own conflicts!
