Plan Schedule Management
Plan Schedule Management is the process of establishing
the policies, procedures, and documentation for planning,
developing, managing, executing, and controlling the
project schedule.

The key benefit:

- provides guidance and direction on how the project schedule will
be managed throughout the project.
Plan Schedule Management
• Project management plan
• Project charter
• Enterprise environmental factors
Inputs
• Organizational process assets

• Expert judgment
• Analytical techniques
Tools &
Techniques • Meetings

• Schedule management plan

Outputs
Plan Schedule Management
The schedule management plan can establish the following:
 Project schedule model development
 Level of accuracy
 Units of measure
 Organizational procedures links
 Project schedule model maintenance
 Control thresholds
Define Activities
Define Activities is process of identifying and documenting
the specific actions to be performed to produce the project
deliverables.

The key benefit:

- breakdown work packages into activities
Define Activities
• Schedule management plan
• Scope baseline
• Environmental factors
Inputs
• Organizational process assets

• Decomposition
• Rolling wave planning
Tools &
Techniques • Expert judgment

• Activity list
• Activity attributes
Outputs • Milestone list
Define Activities
The schedule management plan can establish the following:
 Activity lists
 Activity attributes
 Milestone list
Sequence Activities
Sequence Activities is process of identifying and
documenting relationships among the project activities

The key benefit:

- defines logical sequence of work to obtain the greatest efficiency
given all project constraints
Sequence Activities
• Schedule management plan
• Activity list, activity attributes and milestone list
Inputs
• Project scope statement
• Environmental factors and organizational process assets

• Precedence diagramming method (PDM)

• Dependency determination
Tools &
Techniques • Leads and lags

• Project schedule network diagrams

Outputs
• Project documents update
Estimate Activity Resources
Estimate Activity Resources is process of estimating the
type and quantities of material, human resources,
equipment, or supplies required to perform each activity.

The key benefit:

- identifies the type, quantity, and characteristics of resources
required to complete the activity which allows more accurate cost and
duration estimates
Estimate Activity Resources
• Schedule management plan
• Activity list, activity attributes and resource calendars
• Risk register, activity cost estimates
Inputs • Environmental factors and organizational process assets

• Expert judgment
• Published estimating data
Tools & • Bottom-up estimating
Techniques • Project management software

• Activity resource requirement

• Resource breakdown structure
Outputs • Project documents updates
Estimate Activity Durations
Estimate Activity Durations is process of estimating the
number of work periods needed to complete individual
activities with estimated resources.

The key benefit:

- approximate the number of work periods (activity duration)
needed to complete the activity
Estimate Activity Durations
• Schedule management plan
• Activity list, activity attributes and resource calendars
• Risk register, activity cost estimates
Inputs
• Environmental factors and organizational process assets (OPA)

• Expert judgment
• Analogous estimating
Tools & • Parametric estimating
Techniques • Group decision-making techniques

• Activity duration estimates

• Project documents updates
Outputs
Develop Schedule
Develop Schedule is process of analyzing activity
sequences, durations, resource requirements, and schedule
constraints to create the project schedule model.

The key benefit:

- generates a schedule model with planned dates for completing
project activities
Develop Schedule
• Schedule management plan
• Activity list, activity attributes and project schedule network diagrams
• Activity resource requirements, resource calendars
Inputs
• Activity duration estimates, project scope statement, environmental factors, OPA

• Schedule network analysis

• Critical path and critical chain method
Tools & • Resource optimization techniques
Techniques • Leads and lag, schedule compression, scheduling tool

• Schedule baseline
• Project schedule, schedule data
Outputs • Project calendars, project management plan updates
Group Tasks
