Practice Standard for Scheduling

Increasingly project management professionals are responsible for managing a variety of project schedules and timelines. For that reason, PMI has produced the Practice Standard for Scheduling, a systematic guide describing hallmarks of a sound and effective schedule methodology, as well as providing quantifiable means for assessing the maturity of a schedule model. Effective project scheduling and time management are critical factors in the success or failure of a particular project. And, increasingly project management professionals are responsible for managing a variety of project schedules and timelines. For that reason, Project Management Institute (PMI) has produced the Practice Standard for Scheduling, a systematic guide describing hallmarks of a sound and effective schedule methodology, as well as providing quantifiable means for assessing the maturity of a schedule model. As a complement to A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK® Guide), the primary objective of the Practice Standard for Scheduling is to transform the information in the PMBOK® Guide, specifically the project time management section (Chapter 6), into an actionable and objective measurement process for project schedule models and projectschedules.
