How Do I Know Whether to Include a
Task?
• To determine whether a task should be included in a
project schedule, the scheduler should ask the
following four questions:
1. Does this task directly contribute to the completion of one or more
specific deliverables?
– A finite set of people who are authorized to approve changes to the project
schedule
– All approved major changes must well documented as to the reason(s) and
the expected outcome of the change
– A lessons-learned capture process and/or repository
– An archive of earlier versions of the project schedule to show the evolution
of the schedule and to retain historical information
Secret # 5: Create and Follow Scheduling
Standards
• The use of scheduling standards can significantly
reduce the time required and eliminate some of
the complexity involved in developing a realistic
and maintainable project schedule.
