An effective schedule is useful, helps align time-phased resources, & is built & maintained using a controlled process: 6.Usable: The schedule is an indispensable tool for timely & effective management decisions & actions. 7.Resourced: The schedule aligns with actual & projected resource availability. 8.Controlled: The schedule is built, baselined, & maintained using a stable, repeatable, & documented process.
