Scheduling

In this lesson we discuss:

Scheduling is the process used to determine the overall project duration and when activities and events are planned to happen. This includes identification of activities and their logical dependencies, and estimation of activity durations, taking into account requirements and availability of resources.

At the end of this lesson you will be expected to know the following learning outcomes:

8.1 Describe ways to create and maintain a schedule (including critical path, and Gantt charts)
8.2 Differentiate between critical path and critical chain as scheduling techniques
8.3 Describe how resources are categorised and allocated to a linear life cycle schedule
8.4 Describe how resources are categorised and allocated to an iterative life cycle schedule
8.5 Differentiate between resource smoothing and resource levelling
8.6 Differentiate between cost planning for iterative life cycles and cost planning for linear life cycles
