6 - PROJECT TIME MANAGEMENT
Developing an acceptable project schedule is often an iterative process. The schedule model is used to
determine the planned start and finish dates for project activities and milestones based on the accuracy of the
inputs. Schedule development can require the review and revision of duration estimates and resource estimates to
create the project schedule model to establish an approved project schedule that can serve as a baseline to track
progress. Once the activity start and finish dates have been determined, it is common to have project staff assigned
to the activities review their assigned activities and confirm that the start and finish dates present no conflict with
resource calendars or assigned activities in other projects or tasks and thus are still valid. As work progresses,
revising and maintaining the project schedule model to sustain a realistic schedule continues throughout the
duration of the project, as described in Section 6.7.
For more specific information regarding scheduling, refer to the Practice Standard for Scheduling.
6.6.1 develop Schedule: Inputs
6.6.1.1 Schedule Management Plan
Described in Section 6.1.3.1. The schedule management plan identifies the scheduling method and tool used to
create the schedule, and how the schedule is to be calculated.
6.6.1.2 Activity List
Described in Section 6.2.3.1. The activity list identifies the activities that will be included in the schedule model.
6.6.1.3 Activity Attributes
Described in Section 6.2.3.2. The activity attributes provide the details used to build the schedule model.
6.6.1.4 Project Schedule network diagrams
Described in Section 6.3.3.1. The project schedule network diagrams contain the logical relationships of
predecessors and successors that will be used to calculate the schedule.
