Project
Scheduling in a project refers to roadmap of all activities to be done with
specified order and within time slot allotted to each activity. Project
managers tend to define various tasks, and project milestones and them arrange them keeping various factors in mind. They
look for tasks lie in critical path in the schedule, which are necessary to
complete in specific manner (because of task interdependency) and strictly
within the time allocated. Arrangement of tasks which lies out of critical path
are less likely to impact over all schedule of the project.
For
scheduling a project, it is necessary to -
● Break down
the project tasks into smaller, manageable form
● Find out
various tasks and correlate them
● Estimate
time frame required for each task
● Divide
time into work-units
● Assign
adequate number of work-units for each task
● Calculate
total time required for the project from start to finish
