The Schedule Model What is a project schedule? Is it the first approved printout? Is it today’s hardcopy? Is it the .msp file or other file type from our scheduling tool? To better define the term ‘schedule’ the PMI Practice Standard for Scheduling introduces the Schedule Model

The Schedule Model Defines the rules for that will be used for project scheduling: Link Types Constraint Types Work Calendar requirements Effort / Duration based scheduling Examples include: Critical Path Method Critical Chain Horse Blanket Butcher Paper

The Schedule Model A scheduling tool must be selected that follow the rules of the chosen scheduling method. Tools can be primitive such as a whiteboard or be sophisticated software such as MS Project, Primavera, or FastTrack Schedule

The Schedule Model Each Project has project specific information: Activity Names Planned Activity Durations Logical Dependencies Resource Availability Assumptions & Constraints Project Start Date Project Actuals

The Schedule Model The Schedule Model is a dynamic system that will change as the project conditions evolve. As project actuals are entered, the model can recalculate activity start and finish dates to help the project team conduct analysis and forecasting.

The Schedule Model Each Project Schedule instance is unique and should be given a version number or date / time stamp

Schedule Mission Development of the Project Management Plan Configuration Management Planning Establish Scheduling Methodology / Policy Train project team on project schedule model PM Software proficiency

Schedule Creation Scope definition Work with SME to convert scope to activity list Activity sequencing Estimate durations Resource assignments Resource leveling Baseline the schedule

Schedule Maintenance Establish reporting frequency Collect WPI (Work Performance Information) Update schedule with approved changes Maintain project history of schedule change Update resource pool information Update risk register Update schedule with project actuals

Schedule Analysis Monitor and Control the schedule against the baseline Analyze the schedule and issue change requests Understand document storage and retrieval standards Create parallel forecast schedule to analyze feasibility of proposed changes

Communication / Reporting Create project schedules using the schedule model / schedule tool Distribute standard reports in accordance with the Communications Mgmt Plan Conduct schedule review meetings
