Project Schedule Management

Processes required to manage the timely completion of the project.

Definition

Processes include Plan Schedule Management, Define Activities, Sequence Activities, Estimate Activity Durations, Develop Schedule, and Control Schedule. Adaptive projects use iterations, release plans, and on-demand scheduling instead of a single detailed schedule.

Example

The PM builds a network diagram, estimates durations, and runs CPM to produce a schedule baseline.

Exam tip

Remember the order of the planning processes; Develop Schedule comes after durations are estimated.
