    Project scheduling involves defining project activities, sequencing them, estimating resources and durations, and developing a project schedule. Common project scheduling methods include Gantt charts, critical path method (CPM), and program evaluation and review technique (PERT). A Gantt chart displays activities against time with bars showing start/end dates and durations to visualize the schedule.

    Unit – 3 Project Scheduling

    Ms. Hiral Patel


    What is Project Schedule?

    • To effectively plan and control a project, the project manager needs to be able to
    process large amounts of data quickly and accurately to ascertain the complexity
    of the resulting schedule.

    • The activity network and the activity scheduled bar chart—Gantt chart—are
    two of the key scheduling steps, which are central to successful time management
    planning, cost management planning, and resource management planning.
    In Simple Terms :
    • Project schedule simply means a mechanism that is used to communicate and know

    about that tasks are needed and has to be done or performed and which organizational

    resources will be given or allocated to these tasks and in what time duration or time

    frame work is needed to be performed.

    • Effective project scheduling leads to success of project, reduced cost, and increased

    customer satisfaction. Scheduling in project management means to list out activities,

    deliverables, and milestones within a project that are delivered.

    • It contains more notes than your average weekly planner notes. The most common

    and important form of project schedule is Gantt chart.


    Project Scheduling requires :

    • Plan schedule management

    • Define project activities

    • Sequence activities

    • Estimate resources

    • Estimate durations

    • Develop the project schedule


    Project Scheduling Methods
    • Apart from using a Gantt chart,

    • Two other popular project management scheduling techniques include the critical
    path method (CPM) and the program evaluation and review technique (PERT). 
    CPM

    • Critical path method is an approach commonly used in construction project


    management that bases the project schedule on the project’s critical path, i.e., the
    number of tasks involved in the project and the order in which those tasks must be
    completed.

    • The critical path is the group of tasks essential to the project’s success, put in
    sequential order. There can be other tasks involved in a project too, but if they are
    not on the critical path, they’re known as float tasks.
    PERT

    • The program evaluation and review technique (PERT) involves using a visual
    mapping tool known as a PERT chart to plan the overall project schedule.

    • A project’s PERT chart contains a number of boxes, which each represent a


    project activity or task.

    • Within each box, there are seven sections, each referring to a different piece of
    information about the task, such as its duration, its slack, and how early or late the
    task can start or finish. 
    GANTT CHART

    • A Gantt chart, commonly used in project management, is one of the most popular and useful
    ways of showing activities (tasks or events) displayed against time.

    • On the left of the chart is a list of the activities and along the top is a suitable time scale.
    Each activity is represented by a bar; the position and length of the bar reflects the start
    date, duration and end date of the activity. This allows you to see at a glance:

    • What the various activities are

    • When each activity begins and ends

    • How long each activity is scheduled to last

    • Where activities overlap with other activities, and by how much

    • The start and end date of the whole project
