Questions

A situation, where several processes access and manipulate the same data concurrently and the outcome of the execution depends on the particular order in which the access takes place, is called race condition. To guard against the race condition we need to ensure that only one process at a time can be manipulating the same data. The technique we use for this is called process synchronization.

Activity Definition - Identifying the Specific schedule activities that need to be performed to produce the various project deliverables.

Activity Sequencing - Identifying and documenting dependencies among schedule activities

Activity Resource Estimating - Estimating the type and quantities of resources required to perform each schedule activity
