P3 - describe a planning technique that can be used to schedule maintenance activities



There are many different types of techniques that will help you to plan out IT maintenance tasks. One of the more common methods to plan out your tasks is the Gantt chart. The Gantt chart is made up of horizontal bars that tell the user helpful information about the task or project in hand. The Gantt chart has the time on the horizontal axis and the tasks to be done are on the vertical axis.



Things that can be included in the Gantt chart are :



-Information on how long the project will take and the current progress of the project.
-The order in which the tasks can be carried out.
-Prioritisation of tasks.
-What resources will be needed in order to complete the task.



The main factor to keep in mind is the prioratisation of the tasks. The reason for this is that if the tasks are put into a random order, you can lose track of what you have done, which can cause serious consequences for the company or the task they are doing.

An example of a Gantt chart is:

  1. Somebody once told me the world is gonna roll me
    I ain't the sharpest tool in the shed
    She was looking kind of dumb with her finger and her thumb
    In the shape of an "L" on her forehead

    Well the years start coming and they don't stop coming
    Fed to the rules and I hit the ground running
    Didn't make sense not to live for fun
    Your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb
    So much to do, so much to see
    So what's wrong with taking the back streets?
    You'll never know if you don't go
    You'll never shine if you don't glow

    Hey now, you're an all-star, get your game on, go play
    Hey now, you're a rock star, get the show on, get paid
    And all that glitters is gold
    Only shooting stars break the mold

    It's a cool place and they say it gets colder
    You're bundled up now, wait till you get older
    But the meteor men beg to differ
    Judging by the hole in the satellite picture
    The ice we skate is getting pretty thin
    The water's getting warm so you might as well swim
    My world's on fire, how about yours?
    That's the way I like it and I never get bored

    Hey now, you're an all-star, get your game on, go play
    Hey now, you're a rock star, get the show on, get paid
    All that glitters is gold
    Only shooting stars break the mold

    Hey now, you're an all-star, get your game on, go play
    Hey now, you're a rock star, get the show, on get paid
    And all that glitters is gold
    Only shooting stars

    Somebody once asked could I spare some change for gas?
    I need to get myself away from this place
    I said yep what a concept
    I could use a little fuel myself
    And we could all use a little change

    Well, the years start coming and they don't stop coming
    Fed to the rules and I hit the ground running
    Didn't make sense not to live for fun
    Your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb
    So much to do, so much to see
    So what's wrong with taking the back streets?
    You'll never know if you don't go (go!)
    You'll never shine if you don't glow

    Hey now, you're an all-star, get your game on, go play
    Hey now, you're a rock star, get the show on, get paid
    And all that glitters is gold
    Only shooting stars break the mold

    And all that glitters is gold
    Only shooting stars break the mold
