Project Schedule Management

The expectation in Project Schedule management processes from the project manager is to give the dates when the stakeholders can expect the deliverables. It is said that if you don’t plan, you are actually planning to fail. The majority of the processes here i.e 5 out of 6 focuses on developing a viable and actionable project schedule. As a project manager, you would be discussing the missed deadlines in addition to scope creep and risk mitigation plan in every progress meeting. Control Project schedule helps the project manager to remain pro-active and influence factors of changes.
