SCHEDULING TASKS
Although there are many knowledge areas (including scope management, cost
management, and resource management) that contribute to successful project
management, time management is most related to development of your project
schedule—your road map for completing tasks, handing off deliverables, passing
milestones, and finally, achieving the goals of your project in a timely manner.
To develop an accurate and workable schedule that truly reflects how your project
will run, you need to:
■ Set task durations.
■ Identify dependencies, or the relationships, among tasks.
■ Schedule certain tasks to achieve specific dates when necessary.
