On larger and more complex projects, a planning function composed of a small team of planning and scheduling experts may be needed to develop and track the project schedule. Even though the project plan is unique to the approach and style of the planner, methods for developing the schedule and documenting the resulting plan follow certain rules. The planning process is creative and reflects the planner’s approach and style. No two project managers or planning professionals develop identical plans or project schedules. Project planning and scheduling is both an art and a science. In this chapter, the student learns how the scope and schedule are developed. The scope document is used to create a master schedule that identifies important dates and activities. The project scope identifies the objectives of the project, what activities will be performed, and some of the activities that are not included in the project. zip file containing this book to use offline, simply click here.
