6.1 Plan Schedule Management

Plan Schedule Management is the process of establishing the policies, procedures, and documentation for
planning, developing, managing, executing, and controlling the project schedule. The key benefit of this process is
that it provides guidance and direction on how the project schedule will be managed throughout the project. The
inputs, tools and techniques, and outputs of this process are depicted in Figure 6-3. Figure 6-4 depicts the data
flow diagram of the process.
