Discretionary Dependencies

Submitted by PMPism on Sat, 08/06/2011 - 14:27

Can someone please explain me with some examples if possible to help understand this statement " Discretionary Dependencies can limit later scheduling options since they can create arbitrary total float values hence should be fully documented."


Thanks

"A discretionary dependency is one that isn't based on a "have to", but on a "should". These decisions are usually based upon best practices, business knowledge, etc. They are placed on the project diagram where the team members would like them to occur.

Since discretionary dependencies are more arbitrary, they should be fully documented so the reasons for their placement can be maintained and available during future revisions. As a project progresses and adjustments are needed, discretionary dependencies are often reviewed for possible alterations."

Education is the key factor and everyone must get an education to secure future. The students who wanted to PMP certificated they must visit the best dissertation.com website for helping material. I’m sure the professionals and the capable person can help in studies.

as well as the dividend payouts, these two gold miners would have an even higher production cost. But, that would still not change the overall production Gold rate today all that much
