                                     Why a schedule
         It reflects all the relationships of activities
            as best understood by a team mapped into a real-
           world calendar  and includes true productive 
           working hours allows for inevitable uncertainty 
         A planned schedule is “just” a team’s best guess of 
           the future
         Number of ways to represent a schedule
             Table (non-graphical and is a list of activities with a start 
               and finish date)
             GANTT (graphical and provides a good high-level view of 
               the project schedule (phases/sub phases)
             PERT/CPM can be used for analysis of a schedule.  Also 
               called as networking diagrams that can be used to show 
               precedence)
                              Process for building a “real” schedule
             1.      Develop the WBS
                            What activities must be done
                            Who will do each one
                            [What materials/supplies are required? How much will it cost]  -- costing aspect
             2.      Identify activity dependencies
                            What can be done first? What can be done next?
                            Parallel activities
             3.      Develop a network diagram (PERT) from WBS and 
                     dependency information
             4.      Do CPM analysis computations (time)
                        ED, ECT, LCT
                        Is the total project durations acceptable?
             5.      Find and analyze critical path activities
             6.      Perform resource allocation
             7.      Convert the network to Gantt chart
