Research On The Schedule Management Of Ericsson Communication Test Project

In recent years,due to the continuous development and evolution of communication technology,operators continue to put forward higher requirements and standards for communication equipment manufacturers.Therefore,a large number of communication test projects with the purpose of verifying the technologies and solutions offered by equipment manufacturers are being created.Test results meeting the needs of operators will directly affect the market share of the bid,this is how communication companies enhance the competitiveness of enterprises by optimizing the communication test project management methods.The Ericsson communication test project is a common test project of the industry,facing different kinds of problems like extensive organization,tight schedules,team conflict,late information updating and customer's change requests during the implementation of the project.This paper is taking Ericsson communication test project as an example to continue the research of the project schedule management based on the application of project management and project schedule management related theories and methods.First the paper explains the background and meaning of research on the project schedule management and clarified the methods,approach and technology route of research.Secondly,the paper summarizes project schedule management related theories,methods and research history,current status and trend.And presents the main advantages of critical chain project management regarding the communication test project schedule management problems.Then,the paper introduces the background and characteristics of Ericsson communication test project and analyses the remaining issues and risks.Next,the paper develops the project schedule and execution plan based on knowledge from project schedule management and critical chain project management domains.While,it raises the suggestion of applying critical chain project management.Finally,the paper validates the advantages of critical chain project management regarding the communication test project through the implementation,track and control of project schedule in the actual project.Based on the research and analysis on Ericsson communication test project in the actual participation in the project process,first proposed the solution of critical chain project management method combined with Ericsson communication test project schedule management,taking the project as an example,through the project progress management and control of the actual project,to verify the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed solution combined with Ericsson communication test project schedule management and critical chain project management method.The application of critical chain project management in communication test project can speed up the implementation of project activities,shorten the period of project execution,improve customer satisfaction,therefore enhance the core competitiveness of enterprises,which will be great value to the relevant test project in the industry.
