Project Schedule

The planned dates and sequence for performing project activities and reaching milestones.

The project schedule is an output of the Develop Schedule process, presenting linked start and finish dates for project activities and milestones. It is built by combining the activity list, sequencing logic, estimated durations, resource calendars, and project calendar constraints into a time-model. Exam questions test the distinction between the schedule model (the data and logic in the tool) and the schedule baseline (the approved version used for variance measurement). Compressing the schedule uses crashing—adding resources to critical-path activities at added cost—or fast tracking, which overlaps activities originally planned in sequence and introduces rework risk.
