| Project Planning and Scheduling in Construction |
In this chapter you will learn the following:
- Uses of schedules and types of scheduling methods
- How and why schedules are used in the pre-construction and construction stages of a project
- How to construct a network diagram
- How to determine the duration of an activity
- How to perform the basic network calculations
In project management, a schedule is a tool most commonly used to plan the project step by step. By systematically analyzing each activity and its relationship to the ones that come before and after it, the project manager can build the project on paper before committing resources to it.
Schedules are essential to the successful execution of any complex project. They are not unique to construction industries, including business, manufacturing, and publishing. Schedules are particularly useful when companies undertake multiple projects that use common resources.
