Scheduling is the way we actually manage a project. Without scheduling, nothing or nobody is managing the project and hence amounts to failure of a project. Scheduling describes guidance and pathway for a project to run. It defines certain milestones and deliverables which need to be achieved on a timely basis for successful completion of a project. Monitoring the schedule provides an idea of the impact the current problems are having on the project, and provides opportunities to enhance or reduce the scope of a milestone/phase in the project.

It also provides a medium for continuous feedback on how the project is progressing and if there are issues that need to be dealt with or if the client needs to be told about a delay in delivery. 

 

The role of the project manager encompasses many activities including:

  • Planning and Defining Scope
  • Activity Planning and Sequencing
  • Resource Planning
  • Developing Schedules
  • Time Estimating
  • Cost Estimating
  • Developing a Budget
  • Documentation
  • Creating Charts and Schedules
  • Risk Analysis
