Project Schedule
The project schedule is the another critical document, along with the project charter, necessary to effectively manage a project. The project schedule describes the work breakdown structure (WBS) and timeline for the project.
The project's WBS represents 100% of the work effort necessary to complete the deliverables within the scope of the project. The WBS is typically displayed in a hierarchy showing high-level stages/phases down to low-level tasks. All planned and actual work is entered at the lowest level task and rolled up to the high levels.
The project schedule serves as the primary tool for managing the project work effort by identifying and defining important project components such as...
-
Project stages/phases
-
Milestones
-
Deadlines
-
Tasks
-
Deliverables
-
Work effort (estimated & actual)
-
Durations (estimated & actual)
-
Resources and associated costs
-
Project & resource calendars
-
Dependencies
-
Critical path
To accelerate development of the project schedule, we developed a project schedule template that defines the major stages/phases, milestones, tasks, deliverables and resources for an infrastructure deployment project, which can be easily adapted to other types of projects.
